ABSTRACT:
A hand held device is provided for use in launching and catching a disc that is spun back and forth between players. The device includes a handle at one end of an elongated curved head having closely spaced parallel side walls on either side of a curved track to form a slot. The disc is placed in the slot near the handle end and is launched by a horizontal whipping motion causing the disc to roll down the track and spin away from the free end of the head towards the other player. To facilitate catching the disc, the sidewalls of the head may be flared outwardly to a certain extent at the mouth of the slot. The head may also be provided with a second elongated disc receiving receptacle which is located at the end of the track opposite the handle, and oriented perpendicular to the parallel side walls. In another embodiment, the launching device may include a storage chamber for a plurality of discs and a trigger control mechanism which permits the stored discs to be launched one at a time.
