ABSTRACT:
An aerial toy includes a balloon adapted to be filled with a lighter-than-air gas and a pinwheel connected to a lower portion of the balloon. A string is connected between the upper and lower portions of the toy, and a light weight string can be connected to a lower portion of the balloon. A string is connected between the upper and lower portions of the toy, and a light weight string can be connected to this string to enable the inflated balloon to rise upwardly with the attached pinwheel by letting out the light weight string. The light weight string is attached to an upper portion of the toy so that when the light weight string is tugged, the toy tilts forwardly to produce a stable lifting effect. An adaptor for connecting the pinwheel to the balloon is formed of two elements, with the first element receiving the centered balloon with its filling stem extending through a hollow cylindrical member having a slot in its lower portion. The stem of the balloon is pinched within the slot to prevent the gas from escaping, and a cap member attached to the pinwheel is fitted tightly over the lower portion of the cylindrical member to further compress the stem member and hold the pinwheel to the balloon.
