ABSTRACT:
An aerial amusement projectile and method of manufacture, the projectile including an aerodynamic body having a streamer secured therein. The aerodynamic body is fabricated from a resilient, penetrable material and has an ornamental design on a leading face opposite the streamer. The streamer is fabricated from a plurality of multicolor ribbons and is secured inside the aerodynamic body by a novel fastener apparatus and method. The fastener may be fabricated as a U-shaped staple from a resilient wire with a pair of barbed probes or as a harpoon-like device to hold the streamer in the body. The configuration of the fastener and resiliency of the aerodynamic body material assists in securing the fastener against dislodgment from the body material. A padding member is mounted on the staple fastener to protect the streamer against abrasion. The harpoon-like fastener includes a coaxial, countersunk bore for receipt of an insertion tool.
