Glider toy and kit

Abstract

A toy glider includes a nose section having a flat circular shape. A hook projects from a first surface of the nose section proximate a front edge of the nose section. A circular left wing is formed at a left side of the nose. A circular right wing formed at a right side of the circular nose section. A left winglet extends from the left wing; and, a right winglet extends from the right wing

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toy glider, comprising:
 a nose section having a flat circular shape;   a hook projecting from a first surface of the nose section proximate a front edge of the nose section;   a circular left wing formed at a left side of the nose section;   a circular right wing formed at a right side of the nose section;   a left winglet extending from the left wing; and,   a right winglet extending from the right wing.   
     
     
         2 . The toy glider of  claim 1 , further comprising a weight positioned on a second surface, opposite the first surface, of the nose section. 
     
     
         3 . The toy glider of  claim 1 , further comprising left and right slots located between a lower and upper surface of the left and right wings, respectively. 
     
     
         4 . The toy glider of  claim 3 , the left and right slots being parallel to and offset from a center line defined by the hook and a center of the nose section. 
     
     
         5 . The toy glider of  claim 3 , the left and right winglets being semicircular in shape. 
     
     
         6 . The toy glider of  claim 3 , the left and right winglets extending through the left and right slot, respectively. 
     
     
         7 . The toy glider of  claim 1 , the left winglet extending equally from the upper surface and the lower surface of the left wing, the right winglet extending equally from the upper surface and the lower surface of the right wing, and the left and right winglets providing directional stability to the toy glider. 
     
     
         8 . The toy glider of  claim 1 , the hook being configured for temporarily coupling with a rubber band during launch of the toy glider. 
     
     
         9 . The toy glider of  claim 1 , the nose section, the left wing, the right wing, the left winglet and the right winglet collectively comprising a monolithic semi-rigid foam. 
     
     
         10 . The toy glider of  claim 1 , further comprising a tail section coupling with the left wing and the right wing and extending (1) along a center line defined by the hook and a center of the nose section and (2) away from the nose section. 
     
     
         11 . The toy glider of  claim 10 , the tail section being shaped with a v-shaped cutout that forms two deformable tail surfaces to adjust flight of the toy glider. 
     
     
         12 . The toy glider of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a battery positioned on a second surface, opposite the first surface, of the nose section; and   at least one LED positioned to emit light away from the toy glider when electrically coupled with the battery.   
     
     
         13 . The toy glider of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one LED comprises two LEDs, a first one of the two LEDs being positioned at a leading edge of the circular right wing, and a second one of the two LED being positioned at a leading edge of the circular left wing. 
     
     
         14 . The toy glider of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one LED comprises three LEDs, a first one of the three LEDs being positioned at a leading edge of the circular right wing, and a second one of the three LED being positioned at a leading edge of the circular left wing, and a third one of the three LEDs being positioned at a tail section coupling with the left wing and the right wing. 
     
     
         15 . The toy glider of  claim 12 , further comprising a switch and wiring that electrically couple the at least one LED to the battery.
