ABSTRACT:
A kite accessory release system for dropping toy projectiles and related items from a kite during flight is disclosed. The system includes a kite accessory release device comprised of a generally rectangular sheet of a deformable rubber material having at least one expandable slot formed therein to receive a release tab formed on each of the toy projectiles. The release device is deformable when stretched linearly so as to open the slot retaining the toy projectile and to allow it to fall by gravity from the device during flight of the kite. The release device is adaptable for use with various toy projectiles of different configurations such as toy bombs, airplanes, missiles, gyrocoptors, and parachutes.
