Abstract
An elongated handle has a head at one end and a base at the other end. A plurality of inserts, one adapted for aiming and guiding each type of missile, such as an arrow or ball, is removably insertable into the head end. Elastic cords are removbly insertable into head end bores through narrow slots when the cords are in a stretched condition. The handle has a longitudinal chamber for missile storage.
Claims11
A multiple missile type slingshot apparatus comprising:
- an elongated handle having a head enlarged in a lateral direction at one end thereof;
- said head having an end surface in a plane substantially transverse to the lengthwise direction of said handle;
- means being attached for tensional support to said handle head at said one end at transversely spaced points for holding a missile for resilient tensional displacement from said one end and for propelling a missile upon resilient return towards said one end;
- a socket being formed in said head intermediate said spaced points and extending from said surface lengthwise into said handle;
- an insert having a post depending from one side thereof;
- said post being insertable into and removable from said socket;
- said insert one side being in planar surface contact with said handle head end surface whereby said insert is stably and accurately supported and positioned relative said handle head end surface;
- said insert overlying said handle one end and being free of the tensional resilient forces in said means during displacement of a missile from said handle head end, whereby the entire tensional forces in said means are applied to said handle head end;
- and
- said insert having a structure used as an aiming sight and as a missile guiding support which projects from the side opposite to said insert one side.
