| Details |
Inventors: Bridgeman, Gerald L.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Pinkham; Richard C.
Assistant Examiner: Browne; William R.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Head, Johnson & Stevenson
A launcher for flying discs of the type having an integral circumferential rim with an inner edge, the launcher having a rigid handle, an arm pivoted at the outer end of the handle, a basket portion for cradling a flying disc at the end of the arm, and a pin pivoted to the outer end of the arm and dimensioned to engage the inner edge of the rim of a flying disc positioned in the basket portion, the pin serving to apply force to the disc as the arm is swung pivotally outward during a casting motion by the user, the pin pivoting downwardly to allow the disc to freely escape the basket portion at the outer end of the casting stroke. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A launcher for flying discs of the type having an integral circumferential rim, the rim having an inner circumferential surface, comprising: a rigid handle having means at one end for manual engagement by the user; an arm pivotally attached at its inner end to the other end of the handle, the arm having a basket portion for cradling a flying disc therein; and a pin pivoted to said arm and arranged to engage the inner circumferential surface of the rim of a flying disc positioned in said arm basket portion prior to launching the flying disc, said pin being pivotal between a first upright position wherein the axis thereof is substantially perpendicular said basket portion surfaces in which position the pin is adapted to engage the inner circumferential surface of a flying disc rim, and a second, outward position wherein the axis of the pin is substantially parallel to said basket portion surfaces, the pin serving to retain a flying disc in position in the basket during the first portion of a launch, the pin pivoting as a flying disc is launched by the force of a flying disc as it is flung outwardly from said arm basket portion, and said basket portion including means providing parallel surfaces spaced apart slightly greater than the thickness of the flying disc for which the launcher is dimensioned, the surfaces being in planes parallel to the axis of said handle and arm.
2.
A launcher for flying discs according to claim 1 wherein the pivotal connection of said arm and said handle includes stop means whereby said arm is limited in rotation to an arc of about 45.
degree.
to about 180.
degree.
relative to the axis of said handle.
3.
A launcher for flying discs according to claim 1 including means operable by the user to control the pivotal movement of said arm relative to said handle.
4.
A launcher for flying discs according to claim 1 wherein said means operable by the user to control the pivotal movement of said arm includes: a cord having one end affixed to said arm, the other end being positionable adjacent to the end of said handle engaged by the user
