Abstract

A self-propelled toy glider includes a flexible frame and a flight surface. The flexible frame may deformed and held within the user's hand. When deformed, the flexible frame stores spring energy. This spring energy is subsequently used to propel the self-propelled toy glider forward as it returns to original shape. Related to glider durability and overall safety, the flexible frame can elastically deform when the toy glider impacts objects during flight.

Claims (5)

1 . A glider comprising:

(a) a flexible frame;

(b) a flight surface, wherein the flight surface is comprised of a fabric material that is coupled with the flexible frame;

(c) a nose element, the nose element being coupled with the frame, wherein the nose element is weighted and is coupled to the flexible frame with a plurality of fasteners, and

(d) a finger hold, the finger hold being at least partially defined by the flexible frame.
