ABSTRACT:
A toy comprising a component in the shape of a space vehicle and a carrier for this component is attached to the string of a kite which is being flown in a wind. The wind carries the carrier-component assembly up towards the kite along the string. At a predetermined point, the upward ascent of the carrier and its contents is halted by an obstruction placed on the kite string. This obstruction opens the carrier and causes it to release its contents, which descend to the ground under the influence of gravity. Attachments such as a guideline and a parachute may be attached to the released component. The guideline will prevent the component from being lost during its descent on a windy day while the parachute will aid in the ascent of the unit on a relatively calm day.
