A handbill is rolled to form a coil that is retained within a collapsible cup as it is ejected from an elongated tube and delivered to its destination. The collapsible cup has a cylindrical wall and a bottom member at one end that does not contribute to the structural strength of the cup. A variety of bottom members are provided with each having an exposed adhesive within the cup that is encountered when the handbill is inserted within the cup. The elongated tube is connected to a controllable source of pressurized fluid that is used to eject the handbill assembly from the tube. The handbill assembly and delivery system avoids the problems of prior assemblies and systems that projected cone-shaped paper flyers through the air.

What I claim is: 1. A handbill assembly for a pneumatic ejection system, comprising: a cup member consisting of a readily collapsible cylindrical wall, the cylindrical wall having an exterior surface, said cup member having a predefined internal diameter and two ends spaced apart at a predetermined distance, a nonstructural bottom member extending across one of said ends of the cylindrical wall and forming a closed end of said cup, and an open top at the other of said ends, said bottom member having a substantially circular planar portion and a plurality of elongated extensions joining said circular planar portion, said extensions having an adhesive, said extensions being foldable for adhesively secured disposition against the cylindrical wall exterior surface, said bottom member planar portion further having an adhesive exposed within said cup; and a handbill consisting of at least one sheet of paper rolled to form a coil having a length no more than about three times as long as the spaced distance between the ends of the cylindrical wall of the collapsible cup, a first portion extending along at least one-third of said coil length, a second portion extending along the remainder of said length, and an unrestrained diameter greater than the internal diameter of the cylindrical wall component of said cup, said first portion being disposed within the cup and said second portion extending outwardly from the open end of said cup, said first portion having an inserted end, the inserted end encountering at least some of the bottom member exposed adhesive. 2. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the bottom member planar portion adhesive is configured to leave part of the bottom member planar portion without exposed adhesive. 3. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the adhesive on each of the plurality of elongated extension adhesive is configured to leave part of each of the elongated extensions without adhesive. 4. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the number of elongated extensions is two. 5. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the number of elongated extensions is four. 6. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the nonstructural bottom member of said cup member is formed of single ply paper. 7. A handbill delivery system, comprising: an elongated tube having a closed end, an open end spaced from said closed end, and a predetermined internal diameter; a source of compressed fluid; a control valve in fluid communication with said source of compressed fluid and the closed end of said tube; a collapsible cup consisting of a cylindrical wall, the cylindrical wall having an exterior surface, said cup having an external diameter less than the internal diameter of said elongated tube and a pair of ends spaced apart at a predetermined distance, a nonstructural covering across one of said spaced ends forming a closed bottom of said collapsible cup, said closed bottom being disposed in a position facing the closed end of said elongated tube when said cup is assembled in the elongated tube, said covering further having a substantially circular planar portion and a plurality of elongated extensions joining the circular planar portion, the extensions having an adhesive, the extensions being foldable for adhesively secured disposition against the cylindrical wall exterior surface, said covering circular planar portion further having an adhesive exposed within the cup. 8. The handbill delivery assembly, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the covering circular planar portion adhesive is configured to leave part of the circular planar portion of the covering without exposed adhesive. 9. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the adhesive on each of the plurality of elongated extension adhesive is configured to leave part of each of the elongated extensions without adhesive. 10. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the number of elongated extensions is two. 11. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the number of elongated extensions is four. 12. A handbill assembly for a pneumatic ejection system, comprising: a cup member consisting of a readily collapsible cylindrical wall, said cup member having: a predefined internal diameter, an inside surface, and two ends spaced apart at a predetermined distance; a nonstructural bottom member having a substantially planar and circular portion and a wall portion about the planar portion, the bottom member being sized such that the bottom member is closely received by one of said ends of the cylindrical wall forming a closed end of said cup, the bottom member planar portion extending across said end of the cylinder wall, and at least part of the bottom member wall portion bearing upon the cylindrical wall inside surface; and an open top at the other of said ends, said bottom member planar portion having an adhesive exposed within the cup; and a handbill consisting of at least one sheet of paper rolled to form a coil having a length no more than about three times as long as the spaced distance between the ends of the cylindrical wall of the collapsible cup, a first portion extending along at least one-third of said coil length, a second portion extending along the remainder of said length, and an unrestrained diameter greater than the internal diameter of the cylindrical wall component of said cup, said first portion extending being disposed within the cup and said second portion extending outwardly from the open end of said cup, said first portion having an inserted end, the inserted end encountering at least some of the bottom member exposed adhesive. 13. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 12, wherein the bottom member planar portion adhesive is configured to leave part of the bottom member without exposed adhesive. 14. A handbill assembly, as set forth in claim 12, wherein the nonstructural bottom member of said cup member is formed of single ply paper.
