Abstract: A game disc is provided for use, in the preferred embodiment, in skipping the same over the surface of water by throwing the toy with a spinning motion and in a generally flat low trajectory. The disc, when made for skipping on water, is of a material having a density less than that water so that it will float. In the preferred mode, the device is in the form of a relatively small disc, preferably having at least one notch at the edge thereof, and formed on one side with an auger face oriented in one direction and on the other side with an auger face oriented in the opposite direction to enhance the motion of the disc and improve its skipping action especially on water. The auger faces provide a lifting motion to the disc and the different auger directions allow the disc to be spun from either hand.

Abstract: Game pieces comprised of three legged tiles are provided for use in a domino-type game. A set of tiles is utilized for the game, each set comprised of a number of three legged tiles most of which are marked with different numerical indicia in the form of spots as well as in Arabic numerals. Each tile is a generally flat piece with three legs extending radially from a center portion of equal angular distances one from the other. The outer end face of each leg is flat and each leg terminates at its inner end in a flat face near the center juncture joining adjacent legs. Tiles are connected by abutting the end of one leg of one tile with the end of a leg of another tile or by joining the end of one leg with the flat junction face of another tile in accordance with the rules of the game. The tiles can be connected in different geometric patterns including circles.

Abstract: A hand held device is provided for use in launching and catching a disc that is spun back and forth between players. The device includes a handle at one end of an elongated curved head having closely spaced parallel side walls on either side of a curved track to form a slot. The disc is placed in the slot near the handle end and is launched by a horizontal whipping motion causing the disc to roll down the track and spin away from the free end of the head towards the other player. To facilitate catching the disc, the sidewalls of the head may be flared outwardly to a certain extent at the mouth of the slot. The head may also be provided with a second elongated disc receiving receptacle which is located at the end of the track opposite the handle, and oriented perpendicular to the parallel side walls. In another embodiment, the launching device may include a storage chamber for a plurality of discs and a trigger control mechanism which permits the stored discs to be launched one at a time.
