Patent number: 6179680Abstract: The present invention provides an amusement device with a flying member launchable by a hand-held launcher. The launcher includes launching guide rod connected to a handle grip carrying a trigger mechanism with a catch hook. A coil spring is coaxially received on the guide rod. The flying member includes a generally tubular internal support frame, an exterior shell supported by said frame and a latch body connected to the shell for releasably connecting the flying member to the launcher. In use, the frame of the member and the guide rod are aligned coaxially, and the flying member is pushed onto the rod, compressing the spring, until the catch hook of the launcher releasably captures the latch body. When the trigger mechanism is actuated, the flying member is forced off the rod by the spring, taking flight. The connection of the latch body to the shell prevents the launching of the frame without the shell. The invention encompasses a method of making one embodiment of the flying member.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1999Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Trendmasters, Inc.Inventors: Russell Hornsby, Marcellus Rambo Benson, Jr., James August Keefe, III, Richard Craig Kitchell, Joseph Lee McGowan
