Abstract
A toy projectile that is intended to be thrown at a bristle target board. The toy projectile has a head section and a tail section. The head section of the toy projectile has a plurality of prongs that extend from a common circular base. The prongs have the same length, wherein the length of the prongs is generally equal to the diameter of the circular base. The prongs and the base are unistucturally molded together as a single piece. The common circular base of the head section is connected to the tail section in a manner that enables the common circular base and the prongs to rotate together relative to the tail section. The ability to rotate enables the prongs on the projectile to better penetrate a bristle target board and not bounce away, even when impact occurs at an angle.
Claims16
A toy projectile comprising:
- a head section having a plurality of prongs extending from a common base, wherein said plurality of prongs include at least four prongs arranged in at least one circular pattern on said common base;
- and
- a tail section having a shaft and fletching elements, wherein said common base of said head section is connected to said tail section, and wherein said common base is free to rotate relative to said tail section while connected to said tail section.
A toy projectile comprising:
- a circular base;
- a plurality of prongs extending from said circular base in a common direction, wherein said circular base and said plurality of prongs are unistucturally molded as a single unit;
- a cup structure that receives said circular base, wherein said circular base is free to rotate relative to said cup structure while connected to said cup structure;
- a shaft that extends from said cup structure;
- and
- fletching elements that radially extend from said shaft.
A toy projectile comprising:
- a shaft having a cup structure at one end of said shaft;
- a circular base coupled to said cup structure, wherein said circular base has a first diameter and wherein said circular base is free to rotate relative to said cup structure;
- and
- a plurality of prongs extending from said common base in a direction opposite of said shaft, wherein said plurality of prongs each have the same length, wherein said length is equal to said first diameter plus/minus twenty percent.
