Abstract: A decorative wind device that rotates about a central point. The axis of rotation can vary depending upon several factors including the direction of the wind and the speed or intensity of the wind. The device includes multiple strips of flexible, lightweight material that are connected at a common point at one end (the top of the device); the bottom ends of the strips are not connected at a common point but are, instead, linked to multiple concentric connecting rings made of, for example, sections of connecting material such as wire. The strips are positioned at an angle that places them in an optimum position to be blown by the wind. The resulting device, when hung outdoors or in any other area that has a source of wind, requires very little wind current to cause it to rotate. Further, because of the lightweight, flexible material used for the strips, the strips bend when the wind blows upon them, deforming the device into a pleasing, rounded shape approaching the shape of a sphere.
Abstract: A lightweight wind tube utilized for advertising, constructed of fabric with a constant diameter having annular sleeve at each end. The forward end sleeve being held in an open circle by flexible frame members with furled ends which are positioned in lateral openings in the forward end sleeve to provide attachment points for mounting yoke strings and access for disassembly. The wind tube further includes a rear sleeve formed in the exit end of the tube including a string for adjusting the choke in the exit end of the tube.
Abstract: A plastic toy integrally formed and molded in an injection molding machine and comprising a relatively thin body portion, a propeller with angled blades and a ring-like member as part of the body portion in which the propeller is manually detachable from the integrally formed toy unit and is mounted for rotation with respect to said body portion. The ring-like member has a thickness or width closely approximating that of the thin body portion and with lateral extensions on said ring-like member. The ring-like member permits securement of said toy unit on a support, such as the bars of a bicycle or tricycle so that the forward movement of the unit will cause said propeller to rotate with respect to the body portion.
