Definitions
- the invention relates to a parachute game device.
- a parachute game device has a receiving and holding device to which a parachute is attached and in which the parachute can be accommodated.
- the parachute game device is thrown into the air or catapulted into the air by means of a launching device in order to release the parachute in the region of the peak of the flight path and to float back to the ground.
- a parachute game device which is designed as a rocket to which the parachute is attached.
- This known game device has only a very limited play value, since the parachute does not necessarily open at the desired time.
- the object of the invention is not to leave the release of the parachute to chance, but rather to provide a parachute game device in which the parachute is released reliably and inevitably and immediately unfolds.
- the parachute game device has two pliers legs articulated at the upper end, between which a parachute is arranged, one in the area of the pliers joint, the pliers legs in their opening direction Acting spring device, two widened air pressure surfaces connected to the pliers legs in the region of the lower end, which exert a force counteracting the spring device on the pliers legs when moved by air, and have a head part fastened above the pliers joint.
- This configuration ensures that in the parachute game device according to the invention the tongs forming the holding device for the parachute remain closed when the game device is thrown up - normally to an altitude of approx. 6 to 12 m - because the air pressure exerted on the widened air pressure surfaces the opening force of the spring device exceeds.
- the parachute game device reaches the peak of its trajectory, the pressure on the air pressure surfaces decreases rapidly, so that the spring device arranged in the area of the pincer joint opens the parachute tongs.
- the head part attached in front of the pincer joint causes the parachute game device to rotate by approximately 180 °.
- the parachute is inevitably unfolded by the spreading pliers legs, and the parachute game device floats back to the ground according to its purpose.
- the air pressure surfaces can be rigidly connected to the pliers legs and at the same time serve as a handle for the parachute game device.
- the head part attached in front of the pincer joint which can be designed, for example, as a rubber ball, brings the center of gravity of the parachute game device forward and absorbs the impact of the game device on the ground.
- the spring device arranged in the area of the pliers joint can hold the head part in the intended position.
- the air pressure surfaces can be articulated on the tong legs and one after each have above-running lever and a hooking device, which engage in the closed state of the pliers legs and exert a locking moment that is smaller than the moment acting in the opening direction of the spring device.
- a recess can be formed in the area of the air pressure surfaces covering the lower end section of the pliers legs, and a launching hook for the game device can be attached in the area of the pliers joint.
- a parachute game device designed in this way can be shot up with the aid of a launching device, so that it reaches a considerably greater height. The game device is held through the cutouts in the air pressure surfaces in the lower region of the pliers legs, which are reinforced as a handle.
- the recesses could be omitted with a flat handle.
- the formation of the air pressure surfaces as a locking lever causes a greater locking force by translation. Therefore, a stronger opening spring can be provided on the pliers joint, by means of which an even faster opening of the parachute can be achieved at the upper point of the flight path.
- the pliers legs are articulated to two eyelets on a head holder and that the pliers legs each have two
- Feathers which are attached to the head holder and to the tong legs can be spread.
- the pliers legs can form an elongated cavity in which the parachute is attached to eyelets and in which it is receivable.
- One leg can be shaped as an elongated flat shell, the other leg either being curved or flat and pressing the parachute into the opposite leg.
- the parachute can be accommodated in an intermediate space between the air pressure surfaces, to which it is fastened in half by straps.
- It can also be expedient to attach a receiving chamber for the parachute between the tong legs.
- the pliers legs can each be articulated on a connecting part to eyelets, while the receiving chamber is also articulated on the connecting part.
- the parachute game device can increase the play value of the parachute game device to extend the pliers legs in a scissor-like manner beyond the pliers joint, the extended sections forming a receiving chamber. Either the parachute or another object which is released when the tong legs and the extended sections are opened can be accommodated in this receiving chamber.
- the air pressure surfaces can expediently also each have at least one additional air pressure surface. As a result, the forces closing the parachute tongs can be increased even further.
- parachute game device In the parachute game device according to the invention, an inevitable opening of the parachute is ensured at the desired time.
- the parachute which is attached to the lower end of the tong legs or the air pressure surfaces with its fastening lines, is provided in the space provided between the legs or the
- Air pressure surfaces are inserted, whereupon the pliers are pressed together and thrown up or shot up. During the upward movement, the air pressure acting on the air pressure surfaces causes the pliers to remain closed, the spring device being matched accordingly.
- the tong legs only open in the end area of the upward movement and release the parachute free.
- F I G. 1 shows an embodiment of the parachute game device according to the invention in two views and a section which indicates three possible cross-sectional shapes of a forceps leg;
- F I G. 2 shows a pliers leg of another embodiment with the air pressure surface directed in two views

- F I G. 10 shows an embodiment with a head container for the parachute, the tong legs being articulated on the container.
- a parachute game device is shown with a head part 1, which is preferably made of rubber and is attached to a head holder 2, which holds the head part in a central position.
- Two pliers legs 4 and 5 are connected to each other by means of eyelets 10 on a joint 11 and a spring 3 which at 6 and ⁇ a with the pliers legs keln 4 and 5 is connected, this tries to spread.
- the pliers leg 4 has a concave hollow form, while the pliers leg 5 is either flat, concave or convex in cross section.
- the pliers legs 4 and 5 are connected to air pressure surfaces 8, which are rigidly attached at their lower end and have a reinforced grip part at their end section. Additional air pressure surfaces 9 are connected to the air pressure surfaces 8 and increase the closing force counteracting the spring force when the parachute device flies through the air.
- the spring device 3 can also be a rubber band or two rubber rings, which is or are attached to the head holder and to one leg each.
- FIG. 2 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 2, in which the pliers legs 16 are connected to one another in an articulated manner via eyelets 14.
