THROWING OBJECT
A throwing object comprises a hollow front element and a hollow tail element attached to the front element, wherein the front element comprises a first and a second section, each section being cylinder shaped, where the first section has a larger radius than the second section and is folded over the second section at an edge between the sections, the first section having a first thickness T1 and stretching a first distance d1 in an axial direction away from the edge and the second section having a second thickness T2 at the edge and the tail element being inserted and held between the first and second sections.
Device for displaying in response to a sensed motion
A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

Flying Disc with Varied Rim
Flying discs with different rim shapes in grip sectors and non-grip sectors. This may provide a comfortable throwing grip on a given disc while allowing desired flight characteristics (that may not match the grip shape) due to differing rim wing shapes in non-grip sectors. A set of discs may have the same grip width and shape but different widths and shapes in non-grip sectors. For example, a set of discs with one or more mid-ranges, one or more fairway drivers, and one or more distance drivers all share the same grip feel, in some embodiments.

Novelty golf ball
The present invention relates generally to a novelty golf ball that has a plurality of internal electrical components capable of storing and playing a sound recording when motion of the novelty golf ball is detected. The body of the novelty golf ball may be of unitary construction or comprised of two separate halves that may be removably attached to one another to allow a user to access the electrical components stored on the interior of the novelty golf ball.
Amazing grace flying toy
This invention is a tubular shaped flying toy comprised of a polypropylene (foam) main cylindrical body with a heavy plastic ring supported front end. The main foam body is held in place to the plastic ring support with the help of rubber bracelet bands that stretch around the outside of the front end of the toy where the foam body stretches onto the hard plastic ring. The toy is thrown with a baseball type throwing motion, and provides a graceful, smooth flight.

Boomerang
A boomerang includes a main housing, a bracket, a paddle, a main control board, a power supply, a motor and a lamp strip; the housing is spherical with an accommodation space therein and multiple holes thereon, the multiple holes are communicated with the accommodation space. The bracket is mounted in the accommodation space, the bracket provides a shaft, a central of the shaft coincides with a center of the main housing. The paddle is located in the accommodating space and rotatably disposed on the shaft; the main control board, the power supply, the motor and the lamp strip are mounted on the bracket; the power supply, the motor and the lamp strip are electrically connected to the main control board, the motor drives the paddle to rotate.
Magnus effect cylindrical projectile and launcher
The present invention is a toy launcher system. A lightweight projectile has an exterior surface symmetrically disposed about an imaginary longitudinal axis and is generally spool-shaped. The launcher is composed of a shaft to which a flexible curled band is attached. The flexible curled band holds the projectile within its curvature. When the launcher is rotated by a user using a general throwing motion the band uncurls, thereby launching the projectile into flight.
