  • Patent number: 4521015
    Abstract: A toy baseball bat comprising an elongated member having an exterior configuration in the form of a baseball bat. The hitting end portion forms an interior chamber for housing a plurality of ball elements and has a radially disposed ejection aperture adapted to allow the ejection of a ball radially outwardly from the interior chamber. A ball support element within the interior of the chamber supports an individual ball at a predetermined position in alignment with the ejection aperture. A guide channel guides balls within the chamber to the ball support element. A striker element is pivotally mounted within the chamber for pivotal movement between first and second positions so as to strike a ball mounted on the support element as the striker element pivots towards the first position to drive the ball radially outwardly through the ejection aperture.
