ABSTRACT:
A throwing toy is comprised of a spherical ball filled with foam rubber, and a long tether tail, one end of which is anchored within the center of the ball. The tail is preferably a light weight strong ribbon having visibly distinctive indicia. The tether is used to swing the toy prior to its release for airborne travel, and to catch the toy upon its descent. The ball includes a diametrically aligned slot and cylindrical channel. One end of the ribbon is anchored at the center of the ball, where the slot meets the channel. The ribbon is assembled to the ball by inserting a tool including a hook into the slot, then through the cylindrical channel, and then hooking a loop at the end of the ribbon, and then pulling the loop to the center of the ball. The loop containing end of the ribbon may be withdrawn from the ball through the slot, and a metal rod may be placed in the loop, which is then pulled into its anchoring position at the center of the ball.
