Flexible coiled lasso toy

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention discloses a flexible toy having multiple functions, which can be used to perform a number of tricks.

#2. Description of the Prior Art

#The invention will be better understood and further objects, characterizing features, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly as the following description proceeds with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings given by way of non limiting example only illustrating a presently preferred specific embodiment of the invention and wherein

#FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the slinger toy;

#Referring to the figures, the slinger toy 1 is comprised of a single, unitary piece of material. The slinger 1 is preferably made out of polyurethane, metal, or some other material having memory. The slinger 1 preferably has a handle section 2 and a coiled section 3. The coiled section 3 ranges in length from about three inches to about eight inches, with a length in the range about of 2¾ inches to about 4¾ inches being optimum. The coil 4 should range from about ¼ inch to about one inch, and preferably ⅜ inches in diameter to about ¾ inches in diameter. The handle 2, which is integral with the coiled section 3, is preferably a straight piece, preferably ranging in length from about 3½ inches to about 6½ inches. The slinger toy may come in a number of different colors, and may be flourescent. The toy may also be multi-colored. It is preferred that the colors be bright. Words or patterns may be printed along the length of the coils.

#It is also preferred that the material from which the slinger toy is made is circular 20 in nature, such that if stretched out, the slinger toy would have the shape of a wire. More specifically, the material of the slinger toy has a circular width. This shape gives the toy more flexibility, and prevents the toy from scraping any of the objects it lassoes. While the material could be flat, the cir circular wire type material allows for ease of use of the toy.

#The slinger toy 1 may be used in a number of different ways. In one instance, the slinger 1 may be used to catch or lasso items. This is accomplished by grasping the handle 2 with one hand, twirling the coiled section by the handle 2 so that the coiled section 3 expands outward, and then positioning the coiled section 3 such that a middle section 6 of the coiled section will wrap around the object being lassoed. The coiled section 3 should be twirled just once, or as many times as it will take to enough times to provide inertia.
