  • Patent number: 4730595
    Abstract: A hand held disc launcher is constructed of one piece molded plastic material having a handle and a flat head portion having a symmetrical construction on opposite sides thereof whereby the launcher may be used by a left handed or right handed person. Projections extend on opposite sides of the head portion on one side of the axis of the handle and a flexible arm extends from the head portion on the opposite side of the axis of the handle whereby a disc may be held on the head portion between the projection and the arm. A projection is formed on the free end of the arm and a complementary recess is formed in the rim of the disc so that a spinning motion is imparted to the disc as it leaves the launcher under the influence of centrifugal force which overcomes the holding force of the flexible resilient arm.
