Catapult or recoil started toy aeroplane - works at start without mass to be detached, damped or braked and functions by direct holding to and release from pull band

摘要

The catapulted or recoil started toy aeroplane has a catapult guide. The recoil mechanism of the catapult to guide the aeroplane works at the start without any additional mass which at the end of the start is detached from the toy aeroplane and which would have to be moved against a stop, be damped or braked and which would reduce the acceleration during the start. The recoil mechanism for the tensioning and the release functions through the direct holding and release from the pull band. The catapult guide is slotted towards above and its contours in cross section consists of circles with the same radius and centre and of two symmetrical bulges.
