Bird shaped toy glider

A bird shaped toy glider comprised of Styrofoam and including a body, the body having a laminated head structure, a metal weight embedded in the head between the laminations of the head structure for balancing the glider, a collapsible wing structure including a pair of rotatable wings mounted on the body behind the head, the body having its center of gravity at a medial point between opposite ends of the body, a tail structure mounted on a rear end of the body, a stationary pivot pin fixedly secured with and extending through said body behind said wings, a pair of tough sturdy bendable synthetic plastic tabs each rotatably mounted at one end on said pivot pin and with the tabs being on opposite sides of said body, said tabs being secured with one of said wings at an opposite tab end, the tabs being flat when said wings are in a "glider launch position" and being bent when in a "free flight position", and resilient spring-like means attached to the body forward of the synthetic plastic tabs to aid in more promptly bringing the wings to the "free flight" position and biasing the collapsible wing structure on the body permitting the collapsible wings to be pivoted about said stationary pivot pin in a 90.degree. forward direction from the "free flight position" and further permitting the wings to be folded back into flat abutment against opposite sides of the body in a direction rearward of the center of gravity of the toy glider into the "glider launch position", the wings being positioned behind said stationary pivot pin on opposite sides of said body when the wings are in the "glider launch position" for assisting in stabilizing the wings before the glider is launched, the pivot pin being positioned above the wings in stabilizing abutment therewith when the wings are in the "free flight position", said means cooperating with the wings enabling them to be rotated with said tough sturdy bendable synthetic plastic tabs on said stationary pivot enabling the wings to be actuated from their "glider launch position" into the "free flight position" when air pressure from launching has diminished sufficiently so that the said resilient spring-like means can then force the wings to be rotated back into the "free flight position".
