Abstract: Disclosed is a collapsible kite frame that permits at kite to be fit into an economical shipping box, thereby significantly decreasing the costs associated with shipping. The kite frame utilizes a double revolute joint to connect the support members of a kite frame. A support sheath locks the joint and support members in a straight alignment, but, when removed, the support members are free to rotate and move inward, towards each other, thereby shortening the combined length span of the support members when in a straight alignment.

Abstract: A kite string reel structure of such hollow internal configuration that a hand of a user may be removably disposed therein, and the hand when clenched grasping a transverse handle within the reel structure to support the latter in a desired position where the other hand of the user may be employed to wrap kite string on the reel or pay out kite string therefrom. When the reel structure is disposed in a substantially parallel direction to the kite string when a kite is being flown, the pull on the kite string will automatically cause a rapid pay out of kite string from the reel.
