ABSTRACT:
Release device tied to underside of kite has rubber band-biased, cooperating jaws which releasably hold toy "paratrooper". Liquid-filled gelatin capsule serves as pin to hold jaws in closed position. Salt-water solution in capsule dissolves capsule, which causes jaws to open and "paratrooper" to be released from mechanism. Varying the concentration of the salt-water solution controls the amount of time delay before which the capsule dissolves and the "paratrooper" is released.
