Benefits of technology

[0009] This invention is for a very simple system of making and launching toy rockets and airplanes. These toys are used mostly for education and recreation. The rockets and airplanes are made from paper, Styrofoam, and non-toxic glue. The rockets and airplanes are made by gluing and rolling a standard size piece of paper around a piece of cpvc plumbing pipe and removing the paper tu...

Problems solved by technology

Previous art has very little educational value and does not permit skills in building and experimenting.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIG. 1 shows the launch system with a toy rocket 10 mounted on a launch tube 12 which is a 100 to 150 cm long piece of ½ pvc thin wall plastic plumbing pipe. The launch tube 12 is shown inserted into an air bulb 13 which is a plastic beverage bottle. The toy rocket 10 consists of a rolled paper body tube 15A, a styrofoam nose cone 21 glued and taped into the paper body tube 15A at one end, and two sets of card stock paper fins 16 glued into the body tube 15A at the opposite end as show in FIG. 7.

[0020]FIG. 2 shows a launch system with a toy airplane 11 mounted on a launch tube 12. The launch tube 12 is a 100 to 150 cm long piece of ½ pvc thin wall plastic pipe. The launch tube 12 is shown inserted into an air bulb 13 which is a plastic beverage bottle. The toy

[0021] airplane 11 consists of a rolled paper body tube 15B, a styrofoam nose cone 21 glued and taped into the paper body tube 15B at one end, and a wing 22 of any aerodynamic shape. The toy airplane 11 also consists of...

Abstract

A simple system to build and launch home made toy rockets and airplanes using air pressure for launching, and paper and Styrofoam for construction is described. The launch system consists of plastic plumbing pipe and plastic beverage bottles. An impact from a foot or hand on the plastic bottle launches the rocket or airplane. Various educational and recreational uses of this building and launching system are also described.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENTS [0001] Not applicable FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH [0002] Not applicable SEQUENCE LISTING OR PROGRAM [0003] Not applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] This invention relates to toy rockets and toy airplanes which can be made by anyone and which are launched by air pressure. This invention also relates to a simple method of generating air pressure to launch rockets and airplanes. This invention also relates to simple methods and materials to make toy rockets and toy airplanes so they can be made by anyone. This invention also relates to novel educational and recreational uses of the invention. [0006] 2. Background of the Invention [0007] All known previous art involves complex launch systems using pumps and valves to generate air pressure to launch a rocket. The only somewhat simple system is found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,076,006 (1978) which uses a flexible air impact bulb to generate pressure. The bulb, rockets a...
