Claims20
A device for propelling a string comprising:
- a body comprising a cavity;
- an extension supported by the body and extending therefrom in a first direction away from the body;
- at least one driven wheel attached to the body;
- at least one strap configured to attach to a wrist of a user and to position the extension within a palm of the user;
- at least one button positioned on the extension, wherein the at least one button is positioned on the palm within reach of at least one finger of the user in response to the at least one strap attaching to the wrist of the user and, wherein the at least one button is configured to cause the at least one driven wheel to be driven in a first direction in response to actuation, and in a second direction, opposite the first direction, to move the string toward the cavity;
- and
- a looped string, wherein the looped string is propelled away from the body in the first direction in response to the at least one driven wheel being driven in the first direction.
A device for propelling a string comprising:
- a body comprising a cavity and;
- an extension supported by the body and extending therefrom in a first direction away from the body;
- at least one driven wheel attached to the body, wherein the cavity is positioned on an opposite side of the at least one driven wheel from the extension;
- an actuator positioned on the extension, wherein the actuator is configured to cause the at least one driven wheel to be driven in a first direction in response to actuation, and in a second direction, opposite the first direction, to move the string toward the cavity;
- and
- a looped string, wherein the looped string is propelled away from the body the first direction in response to the at least one driven wheel being driven in the first direction.
