Abstract
Provided herein is a string shooting device having a string capable of generating lift when propelled from the string shooting device and a guide to readily attach and detach the string from the string shooting device. A string shooting device described herein includes: a body; a housing attached to the body; a pair of wheels, where at least one of the pair of wheels is a driven wheel; and a string, where the string includes a surface texture configured to increase air friction in response to the string being propelled through the air by the pair of wheels. The string of an example embodiment defines an axis along which the string extends, and where the string includes a plurality of fibers extending away from the axis.
Claims15
A device for propelling a string comprising:
- a first wheel rotatable about a first axis;
- a second wheel rotatable about a second axis parallel to the first axis, wherein a gap is defined between the first wheel and the second wheel;
- a body, wherein the first wheel and the second wheel are rotatably attached to the body;
- and
- a housing, wherein the housing attaches to the body and substantially covers the first wheel and the second wheel, wherein a loading slot is defined within the housing configured to provide access to the gap between the first wheel and the second wheel, wherein the loading slot extends along a length, and wherein the length is greater than a diameter of the first wheel or the second wheel.
A device for propelling a string comprising:
- a first wheel rotatable about a first axis;
- a second wheel rotatable about a second axis;
- and
- a housing substantially covering the first wheel and the second wheel, the housing defining a guide slot, the guide slot extending about at least a portion of an outer periphery of the first wheel to an intake aperture axially aligned with a gap between the first wheel and the second wheel.
