Abstract
Spear fishing devices with handstraps are provided. In some embodiments, articles are provided that comprise handstraps extending up to a front end of a shaft handle, allowing users to pinch the shaft. Further, in some embodiments, a handstrap extending over a front end of a shaft is provided, offering users firm control and comfortable grabbing of a shaft. Further, in some embodiments, a spear fishing device comprises a detachable shooter, which will remain on users'hands after launching a projectile toward targets. The detachable shooter feature increases the projectile's traveling distance and aiming accuracy.
Claims20
A handheld system for launching a projectile, the system comprising:
- a substantially rigid handle portion operable for communication with a user;
- a length of material formed into a loop and secured to the substantially rigid handle portion;
- wherein the substantially rigid handle portion comprises a length extending between a distal end and a proximal end;
- wherein the length of material is secured to the substantially rigid handle at at least one anchor point provided between the distal end and the proximal end, and the length of material extends from the at least one anchor point to a distance equal to or greater than a distance between the anchor point and the distal end of the substantially rigid handle portion.
A handheld system for launching a projectile, the system comprising:
- a handle portion operable for communication with a user, wherein the handle portion comprises a muzzle constructed to receive the projectile, and wherein the handle portion comprises a length extending between a distal end and a proximal end;
- and
- a length of material formed into a loop and secured to the handle portion, wherein the loop is constructed to receive a hand of the user,
- wherein the length of material is secured to the handle portion at least one anchor point provided between the distal end and the proximal end, and the length of material extends from the at least one anchor point to a distance equal to or greater than a distance between the anchor point and the distal end of the handle portion, and
- wherein the hand of the user is allowed to be positioned forward of the muzzle such that the projectile can be grasped by the hand of the user.
A handheld system for launching a projectile, the system comprising:
- a handle portion, wherein the handle portion comprises
- a muzzle;
- a distal end and a proximal end opposite to the distal end;
- and
- a slot extending between the distal end and the proximal end, wherein the slot is constructed to receive at least a portion of the projectile;
- wherein the handle portion comprises a first anchor point proximate to the distal end, wherein the handle portion comprises a second anchor point opposite to the first anchor point and located between the distal end and the proximal end;
- a length of material, the length of material comprising a first end secured to the first anchor point and a second end secured to the second anchor point, wherein, when secured to the handle portion, the length of material forming a first loop constructed to receive a hand of the user, and wherein the hand of the user is allowed to be positioned forward of the muzzle such that at least a portion of the loop extends over the distal end;
- and
- an elastic member, wherein the elastic member is connected to the handle portion and operable to launch the projectile.
