Abstract
A launcher has a base having a pair of opposite supports that define a channel therebetween, a hub having a body that defines a hollow interior, an inlet tube extending through the body into the hollow interior, and an outlet tube extending through the body into the hollow interior. A first tube connects the bellows to the inlet tube, and a second tube connects the outlet tube to the object. The base and the hub are constructed so that the position of the hub inside the channel can be adjusted to allow the outlet tube to be oriented at different angles.
