ABSTRACT:
A toy release mechanism positioned on a kite string to release a toy parachute upon reaching a predetermined height along the kite string. The device comprises a body having guide loops formed on the upper end thereof which are slideably disposed on the kite string. A U-shaped bottom portion has a recess formed therein. The release arm comprises a lever arm pivotally secured to the body having a hook member secured to the lower end thereof which is slideably secured across the recess in the lower end to secure the parachute to the device. Movement of the arm toward the body releases the hook which pivots through the open recess formed in the lower portion of the body, releasing the parachute which falls to the ground. The release arm is activated by a small cork or other lightweight stop member attached to the kite string.
