ABSTRACT:
A parachute dropping kite comprising a parachute unit pocketed or strapped to the underside of the covering of the kite. The strap or pocket is provided with appropriate closure means removably and frictionally associated therewith. A closure means string has one portion thereof secured to the closure means and another portion thereof secured to the kite string at a position proximal to but spaced from the kite at a length such that the closure means string is slack when the closure means is associated with the parachute holding means during flight of the kite. The device is further provided with a kite string length changing means which is associated with and actuable by tugging on the kite string, and located at the position on the kite string where the closure means string is secured to the kite string or between that position and the kite. When the kite string is tugged, the kite string length changing means is actuated to lengthen the kite string such that closure means string is lengthened and the closure means is removed from the holding means, permitting the parachute to drop from the strap or pocket.
