A finlock mechanism for recreational rockets having a pair of finlock ring members disposed in spaced relationship to each other in circumscription about the motor tube in the rocket, each ring member having a plurality of finlock receptors disposed on the perimeter thereof in equispaced relationship to each other for receiving a finlock root extending through the rocket housing in snaplock engagement therewithin.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention relates to means and methods for the simplified manufacture of rockets having the capability of true flight comprising centering rings which are secured to ring clips which in turn are attached to the internal motor tube body contained within the external rocket body.
The fin design employed herein permits each fin to be readily snapped into the ring clips at a ninety degree angle to the rocket body to create a rigid rocket structure capable of withstanding the shear forces created during and after the rocket burn.
The means and methods hereof enable rocket modules to be assembled by persons having minimal skills in rocket construction.
Accordingly, a prime object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved finlock alignment mechanism for rockets.
Another object of the present invention is to provide improved means and methods to assemble a rocket which requires only minimal skills and yet provides an aerodynamically correct rocket capable of true flight.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide an improved finlock alignment mechanism for recreational rockets which facilitates the integrity of the rocket during flight and recovery.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide user-friendly means and methods for creating and assembling launchable rockets which are authentic in appearance and safe in use.
These and still further objects as shall hereinafter appear are fulfilled by the present invention in a remarkably unexpected fashion as will readily appear from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments especially when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which like parts bear like numerals throughout the several views.
