Abstract
There are provided safer hand launched swimming pool projectile toys. One projectile comprising an elongate body having a hemispherical nose and a paraboloid tail portion extending from the hemispherical nose to a flat end, and multiple tail fins extending away from the elongate body and positioned proximate the flat end. The other projectile having the overall body shape and tail fins of the V2 rocket, but having an opening across the length and slits down each side to provide safety due to springiness when it impacts the teeth or face of a person.
Claims23
A projectile for throwing underwater by hand, the projectile comprising:
- an elongate body having a hemispherical nose and a paraboloid tail portion extending from the hemispherical nose to a flat end;
- and
- multiple tail fins extending away from the elongate body and positioned proximate the flat end.
A projectile for throwing underwater by hand, the projectile comprising:
- a longitudinal axis;
- a nose;
- a tail;
- a body;
- and a plurality of fins, wherein:
- the nose has a peripheral portion and a central portion;
- the peripheral portion has a bridge and a pair of legs that extend from the bridge to the body to form an arch;
- the legs have interior surfaces that present towards one another and opposed exterior convex surfaces;
- the central portion is straddled in spaced relation by the peripheral portion and has opposed major surfaces, an edge wall that extends between the opposed major surfaces and has a pair of side surfaces coupled by a transition portion, the major surfaces of the central portion presenting towards the legs;
- the body extends from the nose to the tail and has an annular surface;
- the surface of the body, the side surfaces of the central portion and the convex surfaces of the legs are coincident with a notional fusiform contour that extends from the bridge to the tail and that tapers more steeply adjacent the tail;
- and
- the fins are radially spaced about and bridge the body and the tail.
