ABSTRACT:
A projectile launcher for launching toy airplanes, darts, and the like. An elongated rigid member has a handle portion on one end and has a resiliently flexible member extending from the handle in close adjacent parallel relationship to the rigid member. At the end opposite the handle, the rigid member has a forward projection directed towards the flexibly resilient member to form a pocket between the two. The projectile or a weighted portion thereof is inserted within the pocket. When the launcher is swung by the handle, the pocket is maintained closed by the pushing force of the rigid member. Upon reaching the end of the launching stroke, the flexible member continues its motion by flexing to thereby open the pocket and release the projectile.
