Temporary Projectile Retaining Apparatus and Related Methods

A pouch for a slingshot, including a magnetized element operatively associated with said pouch.

A pouch for a slingshot, said pouch including a metallic non-magnetized element to which magnetized shot elements are attracted by magnetic force.

Apparatus for shooting projectiles, including a handheld frame, an energy-storing and releasing member, a pouch, at least one projectile member, and attraction means acting between the pouch and the projectile member.

Apparatus for shooting projectiles, including a handheld frame, a strap stretchably connected to said frame and having at least one attracting portion positioned along the length of the strap to attract and temporarily retain at least one projectile member toward said strap.

A system for shooting ammunition by human power, including at least one shot element, a slingshot assembly, said slingshot assembly having a pouch portion having a magnetically charged element therein to attract and temporarily hold the shot in a desired position until the user fires the slingshot.

A system for shooting ammunition by human power, including at least one piece of magnetized shot, a slingshot assembly, said slingshot assembly having a pouch portion having a non-magnetically-charged element therein to attract and temporarily hold the shot in a desired position until the user fires the slingshot.

A system for shooting ammunition by human power, including at least one piece of magnetized shot, and a slingshot assembly, said slingshot assembly having a pouch portion having a magnetically charged element therein to attract and temporarily hold the shot in a desired position until the user fires the slingshot.

Magnetized shot for use in a slingshot, including at least one piece of shot sized ammunition to be received and temporarily held in a slingshot pouch, said shot charged with a magnetic force that is both sufficiently large to retain the shot against a slingshot pouch having a magnetically-mating element therein and sufficiently small to allow the shot to release from the pouch during normal application and release of force in shooting the slingshot.

A pouch and magnet combination, including a pouch member sized and configured to hold ammunition, said pouch configured to be assembled with and actuated by a slingshot frame and an associated energy storing/releasing member, said magnet operatively retained with said pouch by a magnetic force that is (a) sufficiently large to retain said ammunition against the pouch and (b) sufficiently small to facilitate release of the ammunition from the pouch during normal application and release of force in operating the slingshot.

A slingshot pouch having magnetic means for temporarily retaining against the pouch a projectile prior to the projectile's launch.

A slingshot apparatus, including a frame member, a pouch, a wrist support, and an energy-storing and releasing member acting between the frame member and the pouch, said wrist support comprising a magnetic force element capable of attracting ammunition to said wrist support prior to launch of the ammunition by the slingshot apparatus.

A wrist support for a slingshot, including a magnetized element operatively associated with said wrist support.

A wrist support for a slingshot, said wrist support including a metallic non-magnetized element to which magnetized shot elements are attracted by magnetic force.

A wrist support for a slingshot, having a charged metallic element to which oppositely charged shot elements are attracted by magnetic force.
