At take-off, the ring device is launched in a rotary manner.
Claims12
An apparatus comprising at least one stick (10) and a ring device (30) configured for throwing and catching the ring device with the stick, wherein:
- the stick comprises:
- a main section (12) configured to be held by the hands of a user,
- a ring launching member (14) provided at one end (25) of the stick and configured to launch and catch the ring device,
- and
- wherein the ring launching member is configured to extend through a central opening of the ring device (72), wherein a cross-sectional area of the ring launching member increases from a tip of the ring launching member to a base of the ring launching member,
- wherein the ring launching member defines an axis (26) which is oriented at an obtuse angle (α1) to an axis (28) defined by the main section (12),
- wherein the ring launching member comprises an eccentric ring support extension (32) which is constructed to support the ring device in a launching position, wherein the eccentric ring support extension (32) provides an asymmetrical shape to the ring launching member and is located substantially on an opposite side of the axis (26) defined by the ring launching member as the obtuse angle (α1) which is enclosed by the ring launching member axis (26) and the main section axis (28), and
- the central opening (72) is configured to fit on the ring launching member and be launched from the ring launching member.
