Arm Supported Wing Creature Prop

Abstract

A lightweight, arm supported wing creature prop designed to be attached to the user's arm or wrist. The prop is made flexible, or semi-flexible foam designed to be folded into a compact configuration on one arm and then selectively unfolded and displayed on the arm. In one embodiment, the prop includes a wrist wrap with thumb and finger openings. Mounted on the dorsal side wrist wrap is a wing assembly with an intermediate section and two wings that extend laterally on opposite sides of the intermediate section. Also attached to the wrist wrap or to the wing assembly is a tail panel designed to simulate the tail of a wing creature. The wing assembly is made of foam material that sufficiently flexible so the wings may wrap around the user's wrist and held with a strap. In a second embodiment, the wrist wrap is replaced by a strap attached at one end to the wing assembly and extends under the user's wrist or palm and connects with a strut.
