Publication number: 20110263359Abstract: A device for manually sending and receiving an object such as a ball in the context of a sporting or leisure activity. This launcher is made up of two separate rigid parts (e.g. in the form of sticks) and a flexible trapezium-shaped surface by way of a sending and receiving zone. The object is received by holding the handles sufficiently close together to form a pocket to absorb the impact of the object striking the flexible surface. The object is sent by suddenly drawing the hands apart to the maximum distance permitted by the width of the flexible surface, using their natural fan-like parting movement. It is the tension created by the stretching of this surface which ejects the object and sends it very long distances with only the hands for motive force.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2009Publication date: October 27, 2011Inventors: Nouri Khalifa, Jean-Claude Ganteille
