ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to weapons and more particularly pertains to a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly for providing a visual display of light when using the invention.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of weapons is known in the prior art. More specifically, weapons heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,547,190; 4,586,715; Des. 382,608; U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,454,274; 791,376; and 4,168,588.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly. The inventive device includes first and second elongated handle portions that each have a first and second end portion. A substantially non-elastic cord has opposite ends. Each of the opposite ends is coupled to an associated first end of the first and second elongated handle portions. Each second end portion of the first and second elongated handle portions includes an opening extending into the second end portion.
The invention further comprises a pair of laser pointer assemblies. Each laser pointer assembly is insertable into the opening of an associated one of the second end portions of the first and second elongated handle portions. Each of the pair of laser pointer assemblies is selectively engageable to the associated second end portion such that the laser pointer assembly directs a coherent beam of light outwardly from the associated second end portion.
In these respects, the laser pointing nunchaku assembly according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing a visual display of light when using the invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of weapons now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly construction wherein the same can be utilized for providing a visual display of light when using the invention.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the weapons mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art weapons, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises first and second elongated handle portions that each have a first and second end portion. A substantially non-elastic cord has opposite ends. Each of the opposite ends is coupled to an associated first end of the first and second elongated handle portions. Each second end portion of the first and second elongated handle portions includes an opening extending into the second end portion. The invention further comprises a pair of laser pointer assemblies. Each laser pointer assembly is insertable into the opening of an associated one of the second end portions of the first and second elongated handle portions. Each of the pair of laser pointer assemblies is selectively engageable to the associated second end portion such that the laser pointer assembly directs a coherent beam of light outwardly from the associated second end portion.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly and method which has many of the advantages of the weapons mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art weapons, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such laser pointing nunchaku assembly economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly for providing a visual display of light when using the invention.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new laser pointing nunchaku assembly which includes first and second elongated handle portions that each have a first and second end portion. The assembly includes a substantially non-elastic cord that has opposite ends. Each of the opposite ends is coupled to an associated first end of the first and second elongated handle portions. Each second end portion of the first and second elongated handle portions includes an opening extending into the second end portion. The invention further includes a pair of laser pointer assemblies. Each laser pointer assembly is insertable into the opening of an associated one of the second end portions of the first and second elongated handle portions. Each of the pair of laser pointer assemblies is s
