Abstract: As herein illustrated, the device comprises a central, elongate, hollow core embodying oppositely-diverging, truncated cones integrally-connected at their smaller ends to each other, an annular gripping portion disposed about the core intermediate the opposite ends defining with the core an annular chamber about the core and a plurality of radial fins disposed in the chamber about the core connected at their opposite ends to the core and the annular gripping portion. The annular gripping portion is of generally spherical configuration and is connected at its opposite ends to the core by annular flanges. Desirably, the annular gripping portion is in the neutral area of the aero slip stream created by the ends of the leading and trailing cone ends.

Abstract: A throwing and catching device of hand-fitting external proportions, composed of two truncated cones, placed small end to small end, to define a common throat. The diameters of the outer edges of the common throat being greater that its smallest diameter at the center. To the mid-section of the cones' exterior is attached a grip of various configuration. The configuration is such that the grip is substantially in the neutral area of the aero-slipstream created by the tips of both ends of the cones. The gripping surface is made-up jointly of the cones' exposed protruding ends and said grip. Said configuration forming a V-shaped trough on either side of the device's middle.
