Abstract: A slammer for use in the game generally called Milk Caps or Pogs, originally played with milk bottle caps. The slammer is basically a disk shaped member having at least one continuous, unapertured, metal disk. The disk or disks are encapsulated in a synthetic resin housing. A first cylindrical housing portion is formed around the metal disk or disks by injection molding of a tough synthetic resin, with a disk surface at one face of the housing. A second housing portion is formed by injection molding of a second synthetic resin over the exposed disk assembly surface. The second resin preferably is softer than the first resin and bears finger tip shaped depressions to provide an optimum gripping surface for holding and throwing the slammer during game play.

Abstract: A slammer for use in the game generally called milk caps or pogs, originally played with milk bottle caps. The slammer is basically a disk shaped member having at least one metal disk, which preferably has a central aperture. The disk or disks are encapsulated in a synthetic resin housing. A first cylindrical housing portion is formed around the metal disk or disks by injection molding of a tough synthetic resin, with a disk surface at one face of the housing. A second housing portion is formed by injection molding of a second synthetic resin over the exposed disk assembly surface. The second resin is softer than the first resin and preferably bears finger tip shaped depressions to provide an optimum gripping surface for holding and throwing the slammer during game play. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of thin, apertured metal disks, generally 2 to 4, are stacked and a resin plug is formed within the aligned apertures to hold the disks together.
