A biodegradable toy foam dart is described herein, wherein the biodegradable toy foam dart includes the biodegradable foam material. The toy foam dart includes a dart body and a dart cap.

A toy dart having an elongate dart body of a foam material in a substantially cylindrical shape extending from a head end to a tail end in a first, longitudinal direction, an outer surface of the substantially cylindrical shape having a first ridge proximate the head end; a second ridge proximate the tail end; and one or more recessed areas disposed between the first ridge and the second ridge, where the elongate dart body has a first outer diameter at the first ridge and the second ridge that is larger than a second outer diameter at the one or more recessed areas; and a deformable dart cap affixed to the head end of the elongate dart body.

A dart holder (10) comprising: first positioning means (1), holding means (3) for holding optionally at least the tip and/or part of the barrel of a dart in a settled position in the first positioning means (1) such that the barrel of said dart is accessible for being grabbed by a user's hand, a first landing area (4) arranged on the first positioning means (1) in respect to the holding means (3) such that said first landing area (4) provides a reference to at least part of the hand for grabbing the barrel at a target position,
wherein the holding means (3) is formed by a shaft (30) extending from the first landing area (4) at least partially through the first positioning means (1) up to a shaft end (31) facing away from the first landing area (4), wherein the shaft (30) is provided with a limitation reference means (8) to define a limitation for the tip of the barrel when it is inserted in the shaft (30).

There is provided a dart collecting device to easily collect darts from a dartboard, even from a relatively low position with respect to the dartboard. The dart collecting device includes: a pair of first gap forming portions that forms a first gap extending in the vertical direction so as to receive a tip of the dart from above at a first interval capable of preventing a barrel of a dart from passing; a pair of second gap forming portions that forms a second gap extending in the vertical direction so as to receive a barrel of a dart from above at a second interval wider than the first interval; a bottom portion that forms a lower end of the second gap; and a shaft that extends downward from the bottom portion. The first gap and the second gap are configured to capable of receiving a dart stuck into a dartboard and capable of stacking and holding a plurality of darts.

A toy dart having an elongate dart body of a foam material in a substantially cylindrical shape extending from a head end to a tail end in a first, longitudinal direction, an outer surface of the substantially cylindrical shape having a first ridge proximate the head end; a second ridge proximate the tail end; and one or more recessed areas disposed between the first ridge and the second ridge, where the elongate dart body has a first outer diameter at the first ridge and the second ridge that is larger than a second outer diameter at the one or more recessed areas; and a deformable dart cap affixed to the head end of the elongate dart body.

The present invention provides biodegradable projectiles for toy launchers that contain viable seeds. When lost outdoors the projectiles do not pollute the environment but instead degrade naturally and the seeds grow into plants that enhance the landscape.

A projectile and stabilizer therefor are provided. The sliding stabilizer is used instead of fixed or glued tail feathers, vanes or other fletching as a means for stabilizing projectile flight. The invention improves current projectile technology with reduced assembly labor cost, the elimination of bow clearance issues, improved accuracy with the consistent production of the sliding stabilizer, easy replacement of the stabilizer in the field, and improved projectile storage. A sliding stabilizer is designed to slide along the shaft of a projectile and comprises a circumferentially extending wing and a plurality of fins. In use, the stabilizer is positioned at the front of the projectile prior to launch, and the projectile slides quickly through the stabilizer until secured at a stop position at or near the trailing end of the projectile. An annular arrow fletch and arrow stabilizer are also provided. The annular arrow fletch may be used for; stabilizing arrow flight, providing better clearance and functionality then conventional fixed glued tail feathers. A stabilizer may be used with light emitting diode arrow nocks. The stabilizer may improve arrow shaft stabilization technology with reduced assembly labor cost, the elimination of facial and or face mask interference issues providing more clearance, improved accuracy, repeatable production with the consistent injection mold production of the annular arrow fletch, easy replacement of the annular arrow fletch in the field, and improved arrow storage. An annular arrow fletch may incorporate a metallic contact point, which will work with all light emitting nocks. A design of an annular arrow fletch may be affixed to an arrow by an arrow nock and may comprise an annular wing, a central elongated cylindrical cylinder with a cap and a plurality of fins with micro-groves and a metal contact. In use, the annular arrow fletch is affixed at the aft end of the arrow by an arrow nock prior to launch.

In accordance with embodiments a projectile can have a body and a tip attached to the body, the body including a nub portion extending from a second end of the body and optionally one or more fins surrounding a circumference of the body at the second end.

A dart with a telescopic tail wing composes a dart rod, a dart head disposed at a front end of the dart rod and a tail wing disposed at a rear end of the dart rod. A tail wing connecting part is disposed at the rear end of the dart rod. The tail wing comprises a sleeve and multiple wing blades disposed on the sleeve. A clamping part is disposed on the tail wing connecting part. A limiting part is disposed in the sleeve. The tail wing connecting part is inserted into the sleeve. The clamping part stretches from one side to the other side of the limiting part and is matched with the limiting part. An elastic piece is disposed around the tail wing connecting part. The tail wing can rotate on the tail connecting part and can telescopic. In case of a collision, the tail wing can rotate to reduce force, so that compared with the prior art, dart is simple in structure, easy to assemble and low in production cost.
