  • Patent number: 11885586
    Abstract: An assembly for launching toy projectiles includes a body having a bore, a plunger extendable from the bore, and a shaft removably attachable to the body. The body includes a first recess having a first diameter for receiving a first projectile. The shaft includes a second diameter for receiving a second projectile therearound and a second recess having a third diameter for receiving a third projectile therein. The first diameter is substantially equal to a diameter of the first projectile, the second diameter is substantially equal to a diameter of the second projectile, and the third diameter is substantially equal to a diameter of the third projectile but smaller than the second diameter. The plunger drives air through the assembly when released from an extended position to eject any one of the first, second, or third projectiles positioned in the first recess, on the shaft, or in the second recess.

  • Publication number: 20230160657
    Abstract: An assembly for launching toy projectiles includes a body having a bore, a plunger extendable from the bore, and a shaft removably attachable to the body. The body includes a first recess having a first diameter for receiving a first projectile. The shaft includes a second diameter for receiving a second projectile therearound and a second recess having a third diameter for receiving a third projectile therein. The first diameter is substantially equal to a diameter of the first projectile, the second diameter is substantially equal to a diameter of the second projectile, and the third diameter is substantially equal to a diameter of the third projectile but smaller than the second diameter. The plunger drives air through the assembly when released from an extended position to eject any one of the first, second, or third projectiles positioned in the first recess, on the shaft, or in the second recess.

  • Publication number: 20210308558
    Abstract: An assembly for launching toy projectiles is disclosed. The assembly includes a left wing having a left elastic support, a right wing having a right elastic support, a central region between the left wing and the right wing, and a pair of launching elements extending continuously from the left elastic support to the right elastic support. The launching elements pivot about the left and right elastic supports when drawn. When drawn, the launching elements stretch in parallel over a launch region to produce energy to launch a toy projectile. When released, the launching elements retract in parallel about the launch region to launch the toy projectile. A handle extends downwardly from the central region. An arm support extends outwardly from the central region and away from the handle. The arm support engages a user's arm to stabilize the toy projectile assembly while drawing and releasing the launching elements.

  • Patent number: 10976142
    Abstract: A toy arrow projectile for use with a toy projectile launching assembly is disclosed. The toy arrow projectile includes a shaft including a front end and a tail end, a pair of hook elements extending outwardly from the front end, a safety-tipped toy arrowhead attached to the front end, and arcuate fletching attached to the tail end. The pair of hook elements are configured to engage launching elements of the toy projectile launching assembly to stretch the launching elements therewith. The fletching includes arcuate fins extending along the shaft towards the front end. The arcuate fins include curved surfaces that curve outwardly from the shaft and generate spin in the toy arrow projectile during flight. The fletching includes a cross-sectional diameter having a distance that is less than the distance between the launching elements to allow passage of the toy arrow projectile through the launching elements without obstruction thereby.
