ABSTRACT:
A safety lawn dart for use in lawn games has an elongated shaft, a cushioned, shock-absorbing head and a plurality of feathers or fins mounted for imparting rotational motion during flight. The shaft defines an axis, and one end of the shaft provides a hand grip. The cushioned head is mounted at the other end of the shaft, and has a hub and a wall creating a chamber cushioned to absorb the forces of impact of the dart with a target. The wall has a lower surface disposed to engage a target surface, and may have outwardly extending protrusions. The feathers or fins may be mounted on a sleeve which in turn is mounted for axial and/or rotational movement relative to the shaft.
