ABSTRACT:
A toy parachute kit having a toy parachute comprising a frame member which includes a central base and a plurality of spaced, radially extending flexible arms with the arms having canopy attaching means at their outer ends. The entire frame member is integrally formed as a single unit of plastic material in an injection molding machine. A canopy is attachable to said canopy attaching means so that the frame and the canopy form a toy parachute. The parachute is collapsed by bending the arms towards each other and folding the canopy. The parachute in this collapsed position is inserted in a tubular member from which it is manually blown outwardly. The diameter of the central member or base is greater than the diameter of the tubular member so that the parachute cannot accidentally or otherwise be sucked into the mouth of the user. The collapsed frame and folded canopy, while in the tubular member serves as a gasket to block the passage of air so that air blown therethrough ejects the parachute from the tubular member. Upon ejection the collapsed and inwardly bent arms spread outwardly to their normal position so as to open the canopy and to right the parachute and permitting it to descend normally.
