Abstract
A system that is used to entertain dogs and cats. The system includes a toy gun that propels at least one soft toy or ball which is tethered to the toy gun and then retracted using a winding mechanism in the toy gun. The toys or balls can be coated or wrapped by tough material and the tether can be an elastomeric cord. A dog or cat will chase or tug on the toys or balls for amusement and exercise.
Claims17
A toy gun device comprising:
- a barrel with a proximate end and a distal end, a winding mechanism, a tether with a proximate end and a distal end, at least one toy, said barrel having an interior and exterior, said winding mechanism being connected to said proximate end of said barrel, said proximate end of said tether being connected to said winding mechanism, said distal end of said tether being connected to said toy, said tether running through said interior of said barrel, said barrel having means to propel said toy away from said distal end of said barrel, said winding mechanism having means to develop tensional force in said tether, and said winding mechanism having means for releasing said tensional force from said tether.
