ABSTRACT:
An inexpensive mechanical launcher for launching certain toy disks consists of two predominantly planar pieces of pre-formed plastic material joined together forming a slotted receptor and a handle portion. A toy disk is inserted in the slotted receptor and engages a catch with its outside rim. A spring for biasing the disk against the catch is preloaded during insertion and is engaged with a notch on the disk rim. A plunger having a manually engageable trigger retracts the catch and allows the spring to return to its released position, thus flinging the disk in an outwardly spinning trajectory which can be influenced and altered by varying the axial position of the launcher before release.
