  • Patent number: 11898818
    Abstract: A device for launching a projectile along an intended flight trajectory includes a launching mechanism with a handle. A projectile having a longitudinal axis is disposed in the launching cord in a launch position prior to launch such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is perpendicular to a plane in which the launching cord is disposed. As the projectile is launched by the launching mechanism, the projectile rotates such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is parallel to the plane in which the launching cord was disposed.

  • Patent number: 11506464
    Abstract: A device for launching a projectile along an intended flight trajectory includes a launching mechanism. The launching mechanism includes supports supporting a launching cord. A projectile having a longitudinal axis is disposed in the launching cord in a launch position prior to launch such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is perpendicular to a plane in which the launching cord is disposed. As the projectile is launched by the launching mechanism, the projectile rotates such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is parallel to the plane in which the launching cord was disposed.

  • Patent number: 10415923
    Abstract: A device for launching a projectile along an intended flight trajectory includes a launching mechanism. The launching mechanism includes first and second pairs of supports supporting a launching cord. A projectile having a longitudinal axis is disposed in the launching cord in a launch position prior to launch such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is perpendicular to a plane in which the launching cord is disposed. As the projectile is launched by the launching mechanism, the projectile rotates such that the projectile's longitudinal axis is parallel to the plane in which the launching cord was disposed.
