Abstract

A weighted radially-armed flexible and spinnable throw game device includes a central core defining an inner pocket filled with a centrally-located inner mass of weighted material and a plurality of spaced apart arms extending radially outward from the central core. The arms may number three, four, five or any other suitable number and each has a pair of opposite outer and inner end portions. The inner end portion is integral with the central core. The outer end portion of each arm defines an outer pocket filled with a peripherally-located outer mass of weighted material. Thus, the outer masses of weighted material in the outer pockets of the elongated arms being circumferentially spaced from one another and radially spaced from the inner mass of weighted material in the inner pocket of the central core together with the inner mass of weighted material creates a generally planar stable balanced spinning device when the throwing object is launched or thrown into flight.

Dependent claims

A weighted radially-armed flexible and spinnable throwing object, comprising:

(a) a central core having a periphery and a mass of weighted material;
and
(b) a plurality of spaced apart elongated arms extending radially outward from the central core, each of said arms having a pair of opposite inner and outer end portions, said inner end portion of each of said arms being connected with and extending radially outwardly from a portion of said periphery of said central core, said outer end portion of each of said arms being connected to and extends outwardly from said inner end portion thereof and supporting another mass of weighted material, said masses of weighted material in said respective outer end portions of said arms being spaced circumferentially from one another and spaced radially outwardly from said mass of weighted material in said central core such that a generally planar stable balanced spinning device is created when said throwing object is launched into flight;
(c) said elongated arms and said central core being made of a flexible material such that said inner end portion of each of said arms is integrally connected to said central core and said outer end portion of each of said arms is integrally connected to said inner end portion thereof.
