Abstract
An aerial recreation device having: a weighted head; at least two elongated flexible resilient arms, connected to the head, that extend laterally away from one another and from the longitudinal axis of the device and laterally beyond the head; and at least two, light and flexible, elongated tails connected to the arms. The device can be caught in flight by catching one of its arms or one of its tails which are located behind, but project laterally beyond, the head of the device in flight.
Claims14
An aerial recreation device, comprising:
- a weighted head;
- two or more, elongated, flexible arms that are resilient when bent;
- each arm having a first end and a second end at its opposite ends;
- the first ends of the arms being connected to the head;
- the second ends of the arms extending laterally away from one another and from the longitudinal axis of the device and extending laterally beyond the head;
- and
- two or more, light and flexible, elongated tails;
- each tail having a first end and a second end at its opposite ends;
- the first end of each tail being connected to the second end of one of the arms;
- the arms and tails being adapted so that:
- (1) the second ends of the arms move laterally closer to one another and to the longitudinal axis of the device when the second ends of the tails are grasped together and the head is swung about the grasped second ends of the tails;
- and (2) the second ends of the arms move laterally apart, away from the longitudinal axis of the device and beyond the head, after the grasped second ends of the tails are released to propel the device through the air.
