Abstract
A combination flying toy/beverage can insulator comprising an insulating cylinder and weighted nose ring for fixing the center of gravity of the device at a point about 12% to 18% of the full length of the device distal from the leading edge of the device.
Claims8
A flying device comprising
- an open-ended axisymmetric cylinder means of an insulating material for thermally insulating a beverage container said cylinder having a leading end and a trailing end, and
- weighting means proximal to the leading end of said cylinder means for enhancing the aerodynamic qualities of said device
- and wherein said device is characterized in that said weighting means fixes the center of gravity of said device in the range from 12-18% of the distance from said leading edge of said device to the trailing end of said device.
A device for thermally insulating a beverage container and for operating as an aerial toy comprising
- a first open-ended cylinder means of an insulating material capable of thermally insulating said beverage container,
- a second open-ended cylinder means for providing rigidity wherein said first cylinder is joined about its outer surface to the inside surface of said second cylinder, and wherein said first and second conjoined cylinders have a leading end and a trailing end, and weighting means proximal to said leading end of said first and second conjoined cylinders for providing aerodynamic stability to said device
- wherein said weighting means is arranged to fix the center of gravity of said device in the range from 12-18% of the distance from said leading end to said trailing end of said conjoined cylinders.
