ABSTRACT:
A hand-held hollow toy implement such as a toy baseball bat, adapted to store as well as to strike a play ball. To manufacture this implement, it is molded from a single piece of light-weight material to define a hollow shank section having a cavity therein, the shank section being provided with a handle at its lower end and a neck at its upper end functioning as one element of a two-element coupler, and a head section whose configuration is dictated by the end use of the implement, the head section being provided at its lower end with the complementary second element of the coupler. In the manufactured piece, the upper end of the shank section is joined by a collar integral therewith to the lower end of the head section. The manufactured piece is converted into the toy implement by cutting off the collar to separate the head section from the shank section, thereby exposing the cavity and making it possible to intercouple the sections. The cavity is usable to store one or more playballs, a weighted insert to impart heft to the implement, or other small articles.
