A bird shaped toy glider which is preferably comprised of Styrofoam and includes a body. The body has a laminated head structure. A metal weight is embedded in the head between the laminations of the head structure for balancing the glider. A collapsible wing structure is provided and it includes a pair of wings mounted on the body behind the head. The body having its center of gravity at a medial point between opposite ends of the body. A tail structure is mounted on the rear end of the body. A stationary pivot pin is fixedly secured with and extends through the body behind the wings. Resilient spring-like means in the form of a rubber band operates to secure the collapsible wing structure on the body permitting the collapsible wings to be pivoted about the stationary pivot pin in a 90°forward direction from a “free flight position”and further permits the wings to be folded back into flat abutment against opposite sides of the body in a direction rearward of the center of gravity of the toy glider into a “glider launch position”. The rubber band serves a means to further co-act with the wings to move the wings from their “glider launch position”into the “free flight position”when air pressure from launching has diminished sufficiently so that the resilient spring-like means can then move the wings back into the “free flight position”.

A bird shaped toy glider comprised of Styrofoam and including a body, the body having a laminated head structure, a metal weight embedded in the head between the laminations of the head structure for balancing the glider, a collapsible wing structure including a pair of rotatable wings mounted on the body behind the head, the body having its center of gravity at a medial point between opposite ends of the body, a tail structure mounted on a rear end of the body, a stationary pivot pin fixedly secured with and extending through said body behind said wings, a pair of tough sturdy bendable synthetic plastic tabs rotatably mounted on said pivot pin on opposite sides of said body, said tabs being secured with said wings and rotatable with said wing from a “glider launch position”to a “free flight position”, and resilient spring-like means attached to the body forward of the synthetic plastic tabs to aid in more promptly bringing the wings to the “free flight”position and biasing the collapsible wing structure on the body permitting the collapsible wings to be pivoted about said stationary pivot pin in a 90°forward direction from the “free flight position”and further permitting the wings to be folded back into flat abutment against opposite sides of the body in a direction rearward of the center of gravity of the toy glider into the “glider launch position”, the wings being positioned behind said stationary pivot pin on opposite sides of said body when the wings are in the “glider launch position”for assisting in stabilizing the wings before the glider is launched, the pivot pin being positioned above the wings in stabilizing abutment therewith when the wings are in the “free flight position”, said means cooperating with the wings enabling them to be rotated with said tough sturdy bendable synthetic plastic tabs on said stationary pivot enabling the wings to be actuated from their “glider launch position”into the “free flight position”when air pressure from launching has diminished sufficiently so that the said resilient spring-like means can then force the wings to be rotated back into the “free flight position”.
