Abstract
A toy glider comprising a projectile and a pneumatic launcher configured essentially as a bracelet for wearing on the user's wrist. The pneumatic launcher comprises an essentially bracelet-shaped, flexible conduit and an open-ended launching tube having one of its ends in fluid communication with the flexible conduit. The flexible conduit has an integrally formed air bulb which is positionable for concealment in the palm of the user's hand when the flexible conduit is positioned around the user's wrist. The projectile comprises a wing fastened to a flight tube which is moveably positionable on the launching tube of the pneumatic launcher. The wing is fastened to the flight tube by a pair of integrally formed straps which encircle the flight tube and a plurality of integrally formed fingers which are folded into one end of the flight tube and restrained by an end plug.
