ABSTRACT:
An aerial toy and launching stick apparatus comprises an elongate tubular stick having a helical track or guide formed about the periphery of at least major portions thereof. One end of the stick is expanded outwardly a small amount to form a stop. A sliding member has inner dimensions permitting slipping along the tracked portion of the stick but preventing movement past the stop and has a track follower on an inner surface so that the member is caused to rotate as it is slid along the stick. A spaced pair of thin flexible flanges are formed on the sliding member to receive and releasably retain a hub portion of the aerial toy before launching. The toy is otherwise in the form of a circular disc of relatively large diameter and is preferably constructed having outer edges curved downwardly and under to impart a generally air-foil section to the toy. Operation is by grasping an end of the stick remote from the stop and quickly whipping or snapping the stick in the direction it is desired to sail the toy with the toy initially near the gripping hand. This whipping causes both the sliding member and toy to slide and rotate along the stick until the member reaches the stop and is stopped. Momentum of the aerial toy, causes its release from the sliding member, and the toy bypasses the stop to soar in the launch direction.
