The main object of this invention is to studs rotatablysupport arms 26 and :26, provide an attractive toy which operates as which are provided with fan blades 27 and a wind vane for indicating the direction of 27 which are bent to the proper'angle torothe wind. The device uses a plurality ofprotate the arms when the wind travels toward 6*! pcllers which rotate in opposite directions the device. i I i l and the air wash created by these propellers The post 21 has mounted on its side a rudis used by a third propeller which is rotatable der 29 which has a pair of arms 30 which in another plane and is rotated thereby. latter are directly conn'ectedto the post.

The posts 20 and 21are aligned vane mechanism. At the upper extremlty of with each other and are mounted at diamet- 8 the pedestal an encircling flange 12 is formed, rically opposite positions. The fan blades 27 e This flange forms a support for a platform and arm 26 are mounted at the front of the 13 which is provided with an annul r S l device on the post 20'and the diametrically circularly curved channel 14. The face of the opposed fan, arm 26 and blades 27 are at pedestal forms aseat for balls 15 which latter the rear of the device. These aligned fan support the hub 16 of a propeller 17. The blades, whenrotated, create a stream of air arms 18 of the propeller have formed at thenhi h passes di t i fl Over th member extremities fan blades 19 which hang 8118- 13.
