A hand held disk launcher is constructed of one piece molded plastic material having a handle portion and a flat head portion and attachment means for a flexible member on opposite sides of the head portion whereby a flexible member may be detachably connected to the head portion on either side thereof to facilitate the use of the launcher by a left handed person or a right handed person. The flexible member is provided with a hook portion at the free end thereof for engagement with a complementary recess in a disk. The flexible member may be in the form of a completely flexible strap or a semi-rigid, flexible, resilient arm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides a new and improved hand held disk launcher having a flexible arm detachably secured thereto on either side of the launcher and having means for engaging the disk to impart a spinning motion to the disk upon subjecting the hand held launcher to a whipping or snapping action wherein the arm has a width relative to the thickness of the disk so that the arm will lie completely within the plane of the disk.
The present invention provides a new and improved hand held disk launcher according to a first embodiment comprised of a handle, a relatively flat open lightweight head extending outwardly from one end of the handle, disk engaging means disposed along one edge of said head on one side of the axis of the handle and projecting perpendicular to the plane of said head an equal distance on opposite sides of said plane, attachment means disposed on opposite sides of said head on the opposite side of said axis from said disk engaging means, a curved flexible resilient arm having attachment means on one end of said arm complementary to said attachment means on said head, whereby said arm can be detachably secured to opposite sides of said head, engaging means on the opposite end of said arm for cooperating with complementary engaging means on a disk for engaging said disk and imparting a spinning action to said disk as the disk leaves the launcher under the action of centrifugal force.
The present invention provides a new and improved hand held disk launcher according to a second embodiment comprised of a handle, a relatively flat open lightweight head extending outwardly from one end of the handle, disk engaging means disposed along one edge of said head on one side of the axis of the handle and projecting perpendicular to the plane of said head an equal distance on opposite sides of said plane, attachment means disposed on opposite sides of said head and located on the opposite side of said axis from said disk engaging means, a flexible strap having attachment means at one end thereof complementary to said attachment means on said head whereby said strap may be detachably secured to opposite sides of said head and engaging means on the free end of said strap adapted to cooperate with complementary engaging means on a disk for engaging said disk and imparting a spinning action to said disk as the disk leaves the launcher under the action of centrifugal force
