Claim 1
Independent Claim
224 words
An aerial toy adapted to be propelled skyward by force multiplying launching means comprising; a generally flat body having a substantially symmetrical C-shaped configuration about a longitudinal center axis with a wingspan substantially twice its overall length and having substantially planar top and bottom surfaces, said body provided with a central section bounded by two lateral sections and including a continuous leading edge spanning said sections, a continuous trailing edge on said central and two lateral sections, wherein said trailing edge on the two lateral sections include rearmost portions disposed substantially normal to said longitudinal center axis of the body said central section having a longitudinal extent substantially less than that of said lateral sections whereby, said central section trailing edge is disposed substantially forward of said trailing edge on the two lateral sections, and an overlay affixed to both said top and bottom surfaces comprising an elongated traverse portion adjacent said continuous leading edge and a center portion projecting rearward along said longitudinal center axis of the body to provide weight and reinforcement to said body, whereby the center of gravity of said toy is maintained at a point substantially one-third the distance from the forwardmost point of said leading edge to the rearwardmost point of said trailing edge as taken along the line of the longitudinal center axis of said central section.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
224 words
An aerial toy adapted to be propelled skyward by force multiplying launching means comprising; a generally flat body having a substantially symmetrical C-shaped configuration about a longitudinal center axis with a wingspan substantially twice its overall length and having substantially planar top and bottom surfaces, said body provided with a central section bounded by two lateral sections and including a continuous leading edge spanning said sections, a continuous trailing edge on said central and two lateral sections, wherein said trailing edge on the two lateral sections include rearmost portions disposed substantially normal to said longitudinal center axis of the body said central section having a longitudinal extent substantially less than that of said lateral sections whereby, said central section trailing edge is disposed substantially forward of said trailing edge on the two lateral sections, and an overlay affixed to both said top and bottom surfaces comprising an elongated traverse portion adjacent said continuous leading edge and a center portion projecting rearward along said longitudinal center axis of the body to provide weight and reinforcement to said body, whereby the center of gravity of said toy is maintained at a point substantially one-third the distance from the forwardmost point of said leading edge to the rearwardmost point of said trailing edge as taken along the line of the longitudinal center axis of said central section.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
An aerial toy according to claim 1 wherein, said body comprises expanded foam composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
An aerial toy according to claim 1 wherein, said overlay defines a thickness less than that of said body.
