Extreme Distance/Velocity Disc Projectile Throwing Toy
First Claim
1. A disc projectile throwing toy, comprising:
- a handle section holdable by a user; and
a launching section having a proximal end and a distal end, said proximal end hingedly attached to and whippably rotatable with respect to said handle section, and said distal end including a disc holder adapted to releasably hold a disc projectile, said disc holder having a proximal disc gripper and a distal disc gripper, said distal disc gripper gripping a disc projectile independently of said proximal disc gripper,wherein when a disc is inserted into said disc holder and said launching section is whipped with respect to said handle section, said disc holder releases the disc.

Abstract
A disc projectile throwing toy includes a disc placeable in and throwable from the toy, a handle section, and a launching section hingedly attached to and whippably rotatable with respect to the handle section. The distal end of the launching section includes a disc holder adapted to releasably hold the disc. The disc holder has a proximal disc gripper and a distal disc gripper each gripping the disc independently of the other. When the disc is inserted into the disc holder and the launching section is whipped with respect to the handle section, the disc holder releases the disc. The distal disc gripper has a greater gripping force on the disc than the proximal disc gripper, causing the disc to leave the proximal gripper first and then the distal gripper when thrown. This sequential release of the disc imparts rotational motion to the disc.
