A ball throwing device includes an arm, a ball holder at a first end thereof, a handle at a second end of the arm, and a mounting member configured for releasably mounting of interchangeable accessories. The mounting member has a first flange protruding away from the arm to a distal end, and a second flange protruding away from the first flange, in proximity to the distal end. The first flange has at least one recess. The interchangeable accessory has a mounting flange with an opening configured for the accessory to releasably couple to the mounting member. A first portion of the opening is shaped to be slidably received upon the first and second flanges; and a second portion of the opening is shaped to engage the at least one recess. The accessory may be: a spare ball holder, a pet waste bag dispenser, a pet treat container, etc.
Compact and ergonomic ball-launching dog toy
A ball-launching device includes a housing, ball holder, elastomeric member, cocking member, latch, and trigger assembly. The housing has an opening at a first end defining an elongated cavity. The ball holder is disposed in the cavity and slidable in an axial direction from a first position proximate to the opening at the housing first end, to a second position. The elastomeric member is selectively arranged within the housing to bias the ball holder toward the first position. The cocking member includes a first portion disposed outside of the housing, being usable to move the ball holder into a cocked position, where the latch opposes the bias of the elastomeric member and releasably secures the cocking member and the ball holder. Actuating the trigger assembly releases the latch, permitting the elastomeric member to accelerate the ball holder towards the housing first end to launch the ball therefrom.
Disk throwing device
A disk throwing device, comprising a handle and a fork. The fork is coupled to the handle and extending therefrom along a first axis. The fork having a pair of prongs extending therefrom from an end thereof opposite the handle. The pair of prongs meeting at a prong junction and having a common top surface substantially orthogonal to the first axis such that a disk may slide freely across the top surface. The disk throwing device also comprises a clip, extending orthogonally away from the fork in relation to the first axis at a first portion at the prong junction. The clip having a second portion coupled to the first portion that extends substantially parallel to the first axis such that it may trap a disk between the clip and the pair of prongs.

Speargun
The invention pertains to a speargun, comprising a barrel having an oblong body and a spear track for directly receiving a spear, the spear track being formed as a channel on the outer surface of the barrel, a handle unit connected to the barrel, and a trigger unit for releasing the spear through activation of a finger trigger, wherein the barrel is constructed as a single piece having an oblong barrel body comprising a hollow interior space, wherein a reinforcing bar is provided inside the hollow interior space, the reinforcing bar running essentially a length of the barrel body. The invention also pertains to a speargun wherein a housing containing the trigger unit has a window through which the trigger mechanism of the trigger unit is at least partly visible from an outside and a speargun wherein fixation means are provided for fixing the handle unit in different positions along the barrel.
SLING SHOT RIFLE
An improved sling shot rifle has an elongated rail, a stock operatively coupled to a first end of the elongated rail, the stock comprising a trigger and a catch releasably coupled to the trigger. A resiliently stretchable pouch comprising a closed first end, an open second end configured to be operatively coupled to the elongated rail, and an insert comprising an insert body having a first end, an opposite second end, a cylindrical cavity formed in the insert body second end and a first diameter wherein the back of the axial cavity is configured to receive a back end of an arrow. The insert further comprises a flange formed on the insert body first end wherein the flange comprises a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter. A ring is positioned around an outside surface of the resiliently stretchable pouch proximate the resiliently stretchable pouch first end so that the ring is received around the insert body adjacent the flange. A loop is operatively coupled to the ring at respective points that are opposite from each other on the ring, wherein the loop is configured to be releasably coupled to the catch.
SLINGSHOT
An improved slingshot comprises a resiliently stretchable material, a grip, an insert having a first body and a second body having a larger diameter than the first body, a continuous ring and a loop comprising a first end and a second end where the loop first and second ends are operatively coupled to the continuous ring. The insert is releasably attached to the resiliently stretchable material by placing the insert against a portion of the releasably stretchable material and sliding the continuous ring around an outside surface of the resiliently stretchable material and over the insert first body so that the continuous ring substantially abuts the insert second body.
SLINGSHOT
An improved slingshot comprises a grip comprising a handle, a first arm coupled to the handle and a second arm coupled to the handle, a resiliently stretchable sling comprises a first resiliently stretchable band comprising a first end and an opposite second end, a second resiliently stretchable band comprising a third end and an opposite fourth end, a first mounting formation integrally formed with the first band second end, a second mounting formation integrally formed with the second band fourth end, and a first pouch integrally formed with the first band first end and the second band third end. The first resiliently stretchable band, the second resiliently stretchable band, the pouch and the first and the second mounting formations are all formed from the same material, where the first mounting formation is configured to be releasably attached to the first arm, and the second mounting formation is configured to be releasably attached to the second arm.
Compact and Ergonomic Ball-Launching Dog Toy
A ball-launching device includes a housing, ball holder, elastomeric member, cocking member, latch, and trigger assembly. The housing has an opening at a first end defining an elongated cavity. The ball holder is disposed in the housing cavity and slidable in an axial direction from a first position proximate to the opening at the housing first end, to a second position. The elastomeric member is selectively arranged within the housing to bias the ball holder toward the first position. The cocking member includes a first portion disposed outside of the housing, being usable to move the ball holder into a cocked position, where the latch may oppose the bias of the elastomeric member and releasably secure the cocking member and the ball holder thereat. Actuating the trigger assembly releases the latch, permitting the elastomeric member to accelerate the ball holder towards the housing first end to launch the ball therefrom.
Projectile launcher trigger
A trigger assembly for a projectile launcher with a hinged cuff that attaches to the launcher pole using a quick-release mechanism. A trigger mechanism has a elongated finger, one end of which is bent 90 to a stem that is pivotally mounted. One end of a release bar is pivotally mounted to the stem bend such that pulling the trigger pulls the release bar backwardly. A pivotally-mounted catch has an arm that forms a notch for the launcher pouch loop. The catch is held in the capture position by the release arm holding against a ledge on the catch. Pulling the trigger causes the release arm to release the catch. A pivotally-mounted safety latch has a finger with a notch that hooks onto a pin in the trigger to prevent pulling the trigger. A latch release lever enables the user to disengage the latch from the pin.
