Abstract: There is shown a reformable handle (10) having an air pump (12), partially surrounded by a covering (13) so as to define a chamber (17) which contains a mass of filler material (18). The handle may be reformed into another configuration by a person firmly grasping the handle (10) so as to deform the covering (13) to conform with the person's grip and evacuating the air from within the chamber (17). The removal of air from within the chamber causes the covering to constrict about the filler material thereby locking the filler material in place. The handle may later be reconfigured by actuating a pressure release valve (44) which allows the return of air into the chamber. Once air is returned the filler material may be reconfigured and the pump actuated again to re-evacuate the chamber and once again reform the handle.

Abstract: A rocket (10) is disclosed having a body (11) with a bay (13) therein and hatch (16) which is movable between a bay opened position and a bay closed position by a spring biased hinge (19). The hatch is coupled to a two stage catch (29). A parachute (23) is mounted to the hatch. Upon initial movement of the rocket the hatch is partially unlatched, the upon the near completion of forward movement the latch completely releases the hatch so as to pull the parachute from the bay for deployment.
