Abstract
The present invention is a random direction bouncer including a solid sphere having a core removed therefrom to define a concentric hollow within the solid sphere. The solid sphere has an outer surface and an inner surface. There is at least one cut-out removed from the solid sphere to define an opening corresponding to the cut-out, with the cut-out opening extending from the sphere outer surface to the inner surface, and being in communication with the concentric hollow. The resultant bouncer bounces in a random direction when dropped or thrown against a flat surface, instead of returning to its origin (or thereabouts).
Claims36
A random direction bouncer comprising:
- a solid sphere having a core removed therefrom to define a concentric hollow within the solid sphere, the solid sphere having an outer surface and an inner surface;
- and
- at least one cut-out removed from the solid sphere to define an opening corresponding to said cut-out, the cut-out opening extending from the sphere outer surface to the inner surface, and being in communication with the concentric hollow.
A random direction bouncer comprising:
- a solid spheroid having a core removed therefrom to define a concentric hollow within the solid spheroid, the solid spheroid having an outer surface and an inner surface;
- and
- at least one cut-out removed from the solid spheroid to define an opening corresponding to said cut-out, the cut-out opening extending from the spheroid outer surface to the inner surface, and being in communication with the concentric hollow.
A random direction bouncer comprising:
- a solid polyhedron having a core removed therefrom to define a concentric hollow within the solid polyhedron, the solid polyhedron having an outer surface and an inner surface;
- and
- at least one cut-out removed from the solid polyhedron to define an opening corresponding to said cut-out, the cut-out opening extending from the polyhedron outer surface to the inner surface, and being in communication with the concentric hollow.
