Underwater toy device

Abstract

An underwater toy device utilizing a base portion having an extending wings and tail. An elevator is also included in the invention and is capable of fitting in anyone of a number of slots located in the base portion in the tail. In this manner, the underwater toy device follows various paths within a body of water.

1 . an underwater toy device including a base portion, a wing extending from the base portion, and a tail removed from the wing and extending from the base portion, comprising:
 a. an elevator, said elevator comprising a flattened piece;   b. a first slot and a second slot located in the vicinity of the tail, said first and second slots extending along first and second axes, respectively said first slot lying aim a non-parallel position relative to said second slot, said first and second slots being sized to hold said elevator;   c. a propeller; and,   d. means for rotating said propeller,   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  in which said means for rotating said propeller comprises a tensioned elastomeric strip held by the base portion and connected to said propeller. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2  in which the base portion includes a recess and said tensioned elastomeric strip lies within said recess. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1  in which said first and second slots are sized to removably hold said elevator. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4  in which the tail includes a rudder rotatably herd thereto. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5  in which the wing further includes a lab removably first thereto. 
     
     
         7 . An underwater toy device including a base portion, a wing extending from the base portion;
 comprising
 a. an elevator said elevator including a slot, said a lot of least partially encompassing the tail; and, 
 b. a support located on the tail, said support interacting with said elevator to fix the orientation of said elevator. 
   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7  in which said support comprises at least a first post and a second post and said elevator includes at least one aperture for selectively mating with said first and second posts. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 7  in which said support comprises a first channel and a second channel and said elevator includes a flange for selectively mating with said first and second posts. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8  which further comprises a shaft, said elevator rotating about said shaft. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10  in which said means for rotating said propeller comprises a tensioned elastomeric strip held by the base portion and connected to said propeller. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11  in which the base portion includes a recess and said tensioned elastomeric strip lies within said recess. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 9  in which said means for rotating said propeller comprises a tensioned elastomeric strip held by the base portion and connected to said propeller. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 13  in which the base portion includes a recess and said tensioned elastomeric strip lies within said recess.
