The invention relates to a novel interactive pet ball launcher wherein digital circuitry in the ball and launcher will wirelessly track and record throw data, allowing a User to view the data on a readout in the launcher handle, or to transfer the data to a smartphone or computer via wireless technology or a data dongle that connects via USB in the handle of the launcher.

A device for launching an object which includes a flexible shaft having a distal end and a proximal end and a handle located at the proximal end sized to enable a user to grip the device while launching an object. An object gripping claw is located at the distal end of the flexible shaft, the gripping claw including first and second flanges which together define a capture volume for an object, the first flange being a stationary post and the second flange being a flexible web extending from the flexible shaft, the second flange being sufficiently flexible to deform in retaining an object within the capture volume and to release an object for launching when the flexible shaft is swung in a forward circular path.

An improved projectile throwing apparatus is described comprising a handle, an elongate shaft, and a throwing head for throwing a projectile, such as a golf ball. The throwing head may be interchangeable with golf shafts of varied lengths, with lacrosse shafts, or other shafts to achieve accurate, long distance golf ball throws. The throwing head may be shaped to achieve throws of different distance, launch angle, and trajectory, optionally imparting spin with a retrograde ramp at the distal end of the throwing head. The throwing apparatus is useful for golf-type game play, including for those with physical disabilities, as well as for a training and instructional aid for golf, lacrosse, and other sports.

An enhanced projectile expelling apparatus provides stability and versatility expelling projectiles at various speeds and trajectories. The projectile expelling apparatus has a rotational expelling housing supported by a supporting stand that is adjustable into innumerable configurations by rotating a launch tube and/or tilting a feeder elbow disposed to abut the launch tube in rotational engagement. A rotational connector assembly facilitated the rotation of the launch tube, and a rearwardly-disposed pivot adjustment assembly facilitates the tilting of the feeder elbow. A speed-controlled motor rotates a drive wheel that imparts speed and spin to the projectiles. Depending upon the rotation of the launch tube, tilt of the feeder tube, and rotational speed of the drive wheel, the projectile expelling apparatus expels projectiles in various straight, curving, rising, dropping, and sliding trajectories.

This invention is a type of flying disc. It has very special features that makes it unique and an innovation. To the flying disc part one can add a handle, thus, making it a flying disc with a handle protruding downwards from the center of the flying disc part. To this flying disc with a handle, one can add many features like: an overhang, a dome, lights, sound devices, solar panels, computer, buttons, light sensors, speakers, TV screen, meteorological instruments, remote control, drone capabilities, flaps, wings, propellers, etc. Also, this flying disc with a handle rotates like a top on various surfaces. Thus, it is a flying disc and a top in one. To the flying disc with a handle, one can add or take off parts, like extensions, handle, and flying disc parts to create bigger or more interesting flying discs, as shown in the drawings.
