ABSTRACT:
An amusement device for enabling a colorful display of one's allegiance to a particular team or entity includes a generally circular hoop member which is provided with a generally cylindrical handle portion, an air-extendable, flexible, fabric sleeve which is hollow throughout having a large opening at one end and a smaller opening at the opposite end and which is securely attached to the hoop member such that the larger opening remains in an open condition. The hoop member further includes a rotational joint which receives the generally cylindrical handle member and which is anchored in place by top and bottom retaining rings securely attached to the handle member, one on each side of the rotational joint of the hoop member. As a circular motion is imparted to the handle member, this motion results in a circular path of the hoop and fabric sleeve, and the interaction of air flow into the hollow sleeve through the hoop results in the hoop and sleeve rotating so as to always receive the incoming air flow. As the air flows into the hollow fabric sleeve, the sleeve is extended such that the sides of the sleeve may be utilized for displaying the name, nickname, logo or emblem of a team or entity.
