ABSTRACT:
An article carrier adapted to be slidably urged upwards along a kite string under the influence of wind and to release the article upon reaching a predetermined position along the kite string. The article carrier includes a frame having a pair of upright arms adapted to be slidably attached to the kite string and to support the frame therefrom. A lever arm is pivotably connected to the frame at one end and a retainer member is connected to the frame intermediate the lever arm and defines a hook adapted to releasably receive the article thereon. An actuating member in the form of a stop is selectively positioned along the kite string and is engaged by the lever arm as the carrier is urged upwards along the string causing the lever arm to pivot and slide the article off of the retainer member freeing it from the article carrier.
