ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a toy airplane and, more particularly, to an assembled toy airplane, which can fly back to the original position where it has been launched by hand.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
During the growth of a child, toys are indispensable companions. In addition to providing a presentation way of emotions and feelings, toys also have training effects such as role playing, development of bodily functions, concordance of hands and eyes, and so on. Therefore, giving a good safety toy to a child can create much added value.
It is an easy game for almost every child to fold a paper airplane for play. However, the probability that the paper airplane can fly successfully is small. Even if the paper airplane can fly successfully, it is difficult to control its flying direction and path. On the other hand, although the flying direction and path of a remote-control airplane can be controlled, much space is needed so that it can not be played indoors. Moreover, a remote-control airplane is very expensive.
Accordingly, the present invention proposes a toy airplane, which has both the advantages of the above two toy airplanes and overcomes their drawbacks.
SUMMARY AND OBJECTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a toy airplane, which can turn a round and fly back to the original position where it has been launched by hand. Moreover, the present invention does not need large place for play so that it can be played indoors.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a toy airplane having the characteristics of low price, safety, and fun.
According to the present invention, a pair of wing slots and a pair of tail slots are respectively disposed at the middle section and rear section of a foldable fuselage. The wing slot forms a specific curve, and the tail slot is matched with the wing slot to tilt a proper angle. A wing and a tail can exactly penetrate through the wing slots and the tail slots, respectively. Notches are respectively disposed at the front edges and rear edges of the central lines of the wing and the tail. A central fixing plate having a balance weight groove and a first retaining groove is installed in the foldable fuselage and is fastened in the two notches of the wing via the first retaining groove so that the central line of the wing is fixed at the center of the foldable fuselage. The balance weight groove is provided to install a balance weight block. A tail fin is installed in the rear section of the foldable fuselage and is fastened in the two notches of the tail via a second retaining groove of the tail fin so that the central line of the tail is fixed at the center of the foldable fuselage. A plurality of adhesive sheets are pasted at unstuck positions at one side of the foldable fuselage to exactly fix the central fixing plate, the tail, and other components installed in the foldable fuselage.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawings, in which:
