Bubble-producing glider toy

Claim 1

An airfoil glider toy adapted to be manually projected on a brief gliding flight through the air, said toy comprising an airfoil body, said body a. being a rolled thin isosceles triangular sheet of relatively light in weight flexible material, the two equiangular corners of which sheet overlap and are secured to each other; b. having a short cylindrical forward and a longer tail portion, said tail portion being an integral extension of the cylindrical portion with its trailing edge lines diverging to define a plane intersecting a vertical plane through the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical portion at an acute angle; c. having a leading edge, an annular reenforcement on said leading edge, said reenforcement providing an increased rigidity for the leading edge of the body and some weight augmentation of the body at said edge, thereby to improve the gliding characteristics of the body, and d. a bubble-dispensing ring, said ring being disposed slightly forward of the plane in which the leading edge of the body lies, and coaxially with the cylindrical portion of the body, said ring being held in such disposition by means of a lightweight strut secured to the annular reenforcement on the leading edge of the body; whereby when said ring is coated with a saponaceous solution, the projection of the body forwardly will result in the creation of bubbles and their dispensing rearwardly of the ring, thereby to pass through the hollow cylindrical portion of the body and out past the tail portion thereof.
