Abstract
A bottle cap launcher for launching bottle caps for entertainment. The bottle cap launcher generally includes a body, a collar, and a pry tooth with a shaft mounted in the collar. The launcher also has a spring compressed between the collar and the body, the spring surrounding the pry tooth shaft. The body can slide on the shaft of the pry tooth. Bottle caps can be leveraged under the pry tooth and positioned to compress the spring and displace the body toward the collar. When released, the bottle cap is launched by the body when the spring forces it back to its original, relaxed position on the pry tooth shaft.
