Abstract
A centrifugally launched recreational device that consists of a weighted nose section containing a non-resilient particulate filled sack, a narrow aerodynamic cloth-like body extending from the nose section and a wider gripping section at the end opposite the nose section. The gripping section contains a soft lightweight mass such as closed cell foam which allows throwing and catching the device with a loose grip and minimal strength or effort. The device is grasped by the gripping section, spun and released to be caught by either the nose section or the trailing portion. The device may be used for most any game that involves throwing or catching an object.
Claims11
A centrifugally launched projectile device comprising:
- a) a nose section comprising a flexible material encasing a substantially heavy weight;
- b) a substantially flexible elongate body section adjacent to and extending from said nose section;
- and
- c) a gripping section adjacent to said body section at the end distal to said nose section comprising a flexible material and a lower density, lightweight mass of sufficient size to prevent said mass from sliding between the fingers of an open human hand whereby said projectile device, by means of the unique configuration of all elements, maximizes the ease of both throwing and catching said device.
