Hobby projectile
A toy projectile, such as a dart, ball or disc has a magnetic or magnetizable component associated therewith to facilitate the collection of toy projectiles which may be scattered on a floor or on the ground. A telescopic wand having a metal or magnetizable component may be used to pick up the toy projectiles.
DART WITH TELESCOPIC TAIL WING
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.
Dart game apparatus and program
A dart game apparatus 100 is provided with: a dart board in which a dart can stick and a plurality of segments are demarcated; a first detecting part 100 that detects a position of a point where the dart stuck in the dart board; a second detecting part 102 that detects a segment of the point where the dart stuck from the plurality of segments; a correcting part 104 that corrects the position detected by the first detecting part 100 based on the segment detected by the second detecting part 102 if a segment corresponding to the position detected by the first detecting part 100 is different from the segment detected by the second detecting part 102; and an outputting part 106 that output the position detecting by the first detecting part 100 or position corrected by the correcting part 104.
TOY PROJECTILE LAUNCHER AND METHOD OF USING SAME
A toy launcher for launching projectiles that includes a drum having a substantially circular shape and comprising a ring of projectile holders to hold projectiles for launching, the ring of projectile holders including a ring of inner support portions located substantially at a first radius from a center of the drum, each inner support portion adapted to support at least a portion of a projectile on an inner concentric ring of projectiles, and a ring of outer support portions located substantially at a second radius from the center of the drum, each outer support portion adapted to support at least a portion of a projectile on an outer concentric ring of projectiles, wherein the second radius is different than the first radius, and wherein the drum includes a ring of front openings and a ring of rear openings that are aligned with at least the inner concentric ring of projectiles.
Dart
A dart including a shaft, a flight, and a cap. The shaft has a body made of flexible materials and a connecting element. The connecting element has a connecting section and multiple insertion slits. Each one of the multiple insertion slits has an open end. The flight has multiple wings and a receiving groove. Each one of the multiple wings is inserted into a respective one of the multiple insertion slits. The receiving groove is formed through the multiple wings. The cap is detachably mounted in the receiving groove, is mounted to the connecting section, and blocks the open end of each one of the multiple insertion slits.
Toy arrow projectile
A toy arrow projectile for use with a toy projectile launching assembly is disclosed. The toy arrow projectile includes a shaft including a front end and a tail end, a pair of hook elements extending outwardly from the front end, a safety-tipped toy arrowhead attached to the front end, and arcuate fletching attached to the tail end. The pair of hook elements are configured to engage launching elements of the toy projectile launching assembly to stretch the launching elements therewith. The fletching includes arcuate fins extending along the shaft towards the front end. The arcuate fins include curved surfaces that curve outwardly from the shaft and generate spin in the toy arrow projectile during flight. The fletching includes a cross-sectional diameter having a distance that is less than the distance between the launching elements to allow passage of the toy arrow projectile through the launching elements without obstruction thereby.
FOAM DART HAVING A SAFETY CAP
A toy dart includes a deformable cap that safely impacts a target. The cap includes two layers of openings that provide spaces that allow the cap to deform. The lower layer, having two openings, is supported by exterior posts and an interior wall between the two openings. The upper layer, having two openings, is supported by exterior posts and an interior wall that is laterally offset from the interior wall of the lower layer. The upper and lower layers are separated vertically by a substantially flat divider. The upper layer is more rigid than the lower layer such that the lower layer of the cap deforms more than the upper layer of the cap upon initial impact with the target.
Dart flight
A new dart has an integrally formed flight part that is made of thin plastic with a uniform thickness. The flight part has a set of flexible blades that are radially offset, with the width of each blades being coplanar, and extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a stem on which a barrel and dart tip are connected. Edges on a central portion of the flight part engage cooperating surfaces on a retainer, locking the retainer and the flight part against rotation with respect to each other. A self-lubricating bearing fits over the a stem and is used to connect to the flight part and the retainer for rotation with respect to a barrel and dart tip. A channel extends along the length of each blade. A bubble is positioned outwardly of the channel.
Dart pistol
A dart pistol utilizes an assembly of a pistol body, a launch channel, a carriage, a mainspring, an operating bar, an engagement feature, a trigger member, and a retainer pin to adapt a conventional game of throwing darts into a shooting sport. The launch channel is formed into the pistol body such that the carriage, mainspring, and operating bar are slidably mounted between a fore body end and a rear body end. The mainspring is connected between the carriage and the fore body end to impart a launching force to at least one projectile via the carriage. The retainer pin is laterally mounted into the channel to capture the engagement feature of the operating bar until dislodged by the trigger member. The trigger member is pivotably mounted to the pistol body, operatively coupling the trigger member to the operating bar to fire the dart pistol.
Dart Game
A dart game and related method. The game having a generally flat target surface having a two-dimensional pattern of targets supported thereon to emulate a golf course. The pattern of targets has a plurality of par-3 golf hole targets, a plurality of par-4 golf hole targets, a plurality of par-5 golf hole targets, a plurality of out-of-bound areas and a plurality of water hazards areas. Each of the golf hole targets has at least a fairway area and green area. Each green area has a hole, a green portion surrounding the hole and a fringe area surrounding the green portion. Each of the plurality of par-5 golf holes has two landing zones located within the fairway area. Each of the plurality of par-4 golf holes has one landing zone located within the fairway area. The method includes throwing darts at the targets and scoring the game depending on the locations at which the darts impact the targets.
