ABSTRACT:
A construction for compact catapults is described. An elastic cord is mounted and placed in tension by threading it through a number of grooved reels. The reels are rotatably fastened to capstans and thereby to a handle-equipped base. When a U-shaped pellet is hooked over a portion of the elastic cord, drawn back and then released, high acceleration forces are transferred to the pellet which then issues from the catapult.
