Magnus Effect Cylindrical Projectile and Launcher
A toy projectile and launcher system. The projectile is tubular in shape and lightweight. The projectile has an exterior surface that is symmetrically disposed about an imaginary longitudinal axis. The launcher has a holding trough that receives and holds the tubular projectile. Within the launcher is a spring loaded element. The spring loaded element selectively moves between a cocked position and a released position. The spring loaded element contacts the projectile in the holding trough as the spring loaded element moves from its cocked position to its released position. Contact with the spring loaded element causes the tubular projectile to launch into flight in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. Simultaneously, contact with the spring loaded element imparts a spinning rotation to the projectile, wherein the projectile spins about its longitudinal axis in flight. The spinning creates a Magnus effect on the projectile.
Toy copter ring launcher with axially stacked ring magazine and improved copter ring
A toy launcher that can launch the flying rings over 100 feet with a more stable trajectory and more accurate trajectory based on the ring and blade configuration. The toy launcher includes a magazine assembly in which a plurality of the flying rings can be loaded in an axial direction, aligned with a launch direction. The rings are rotated up to speed and launched via movement of a sliding handle in a first direction, and the next ring in the magazine is advanced to the launch position by a return movement of the handle.
Modular hybrid speargun
A system for underwater hunting contains a plurality of components which allow for customization of the speargun based on the user's needs and the conditions where a user is hunting. By allowing rapid additions or removals of certain components, the invention allow the user to easily modify the firing characteristics of the speargun, and thus target a wider range of prey across a wider range of environmental conditions than those designs currently available in the prior art.
TOY LAUNCHER
A toy launcher is provided. The toy launcher achieves splicing extension of building blocks at any position on a surface of the toy launcher by arranging distributed building block connecting protrusions on outer side walls of a gun body and a sliding sleeve and matching with a building block connecting post of a detachable splicing device. Users can flexibly mount a functional module or a decorative building block unit on a top of the gun body, a side of a grip or a sliding sleeve according to individual requirements. The building block unit is a splicing device, which breaks through limitation of a closed shell of the existing toy launcher on extensibility. In addition, users can flexibly choose different numbers of splicing devices with different shapes for assembly.
Projectile launching device
A projectile launching device for hunting and target shooting includes a barrel and a driver. A carriage is slidably engaged to a guide rail, with a lower end of the carriage extending through a slot positioned in a bottom of the barrel and extending along the guide rail. The driver is attached to the carriage and extends along the bottom of the barrel toward an open end of the barrel. A pair of first arms is pivotally attached to the barrel proximate to a butt end of the barrel. Each first arm is operationally engaged to the driver distal from the carriage and can be pivoted by user to pivot to charge the driver, which is locked by a catch. A switch attached to the barrel can be switched to discharge the driver to propel a projectile from the barrel.
