ABSTRACT:
A manually propellable dart for propelling toward a target or like member, and which dart comprises a pin section having an elongate shaft with one pointed end for impact into a target or like member. The dart includes an elongate main body with a fore body section and an aft body section. The shaft of the pin section has a hub mounted thereon and the shaft has an enlarged end opposite the pointed end which is removably retained in a recess formed within the aft body section. The main body is designed so that it is capable of being engaged by a user for projection toward the target or like member. A tail fin member is secured to the end of the elongate body opposite the pointed end. A forward end of the fore body section is provided with a sleeve portion which extends over the hub and has a rear abutment surface which engages a forward abutment surface on the aft body section. Moreover, a reduced boss on the rearward end of the fore body section removably engages the side wall of the recess in the aft end. Thus, when the pointed end of the pin section engages a target or like member, the enlarged head will engage the rear wall of the recess to cause an initial separation between the elongate fore section and the aft body section. In this way, the forward movement of the dart will cause a forward inertial movement of the fore body section causing removal of the boss from the recess, and thereby permitting complete separation between the fore section and the aft body section.
