A toy device for use in entrapping an object including a handheld implement exhibiting at least a barrel which supports a propelling mechanism and a trigger which, further upon depressing, actuates the propelling mechanism. A projectile includes a stem and a pair of mutually hingedly supported and opposingly actuation pads, the stem being supported upon the barrel and in contact with the propelling mechanism. Upon being discharged, the pads are actuated from a first position to a second rotated position, such as through the action of a lanyard extending from the handheld implement to a release plate associated with the projectile, and in order to entrap the object such as a winged insect. |

The spherical rolling explosive ordnance is a bomb having a substantially spherical shaped structure that includes a hard outer shell and a shock absorbing outer layer. The spherical shaped structure has a hollow inner core that is symmetrically disposed about an axial center of the structure. Within the hollow inner core are a plurality of mutually orthogonal motion sensors and a computing device. The sensors are electrically coupled to the computing device which accepts sensor outputs to process a plurality of motion profile samples. An explosive charge is distributed between the shell and the core. A fuse mechanism within the explosive charge is electrically coupled to a primary arming device. The primary arming device is armed responsive to the predetermined criteria of the motion profile samples. Arming the arming device causes the fuse to be ignited to provide detonation of the ordnance device. |

A medical application system and method for animals for delivering topical medication to the skin of an animal includes a propulsion device and a frangible capsule containing topical medication in liquid form. In a preferred embodiment the medication is an insecticide and is mixed with an oil based paint. In an alternate embodiment for medicating sheep the liquid is preferably a water based paint to prevent staining of the wool. It is also preferred that the propulsion device be a pump style pellet gun for allowing adjustment of the propulsion force provided to the capsule such that the capsule will impact the animal with sufficient force to break the capsule without harming the animal. In a most preferred embodiment, the capsule further contains a pellet for facilitating breakage of the capsule when the capsule impacts the animal. |

A device for placing a work line into a space that is normally difficult-to-reach, comprising a tubular handle having a locally terminated distal end and a hand-gripped slingshot attached to a butt end of the handle. A spool of a pull line attaches to the handle. The spool is selectively operated for freely releasing the pull line from the spool and for rewinding the pull line onto the spool for pulling a work line into a remote space which is difficult to reach. A weight attached to the free end of the pull line is fired by the slingshot into the difficult-to-reach space to move the pull line thereinto. A work line is secured to the pull line and pulled into the difficult-to-reach space. Embodiments of a traveller for connecting the pull line to the work line and for guiding the engagement of the pull line and the work line upwardly into and through an upper portion of a tree. A method of placing a work line into an upper portion of a tree for use by tree climbers in performing tree maintenance services is disclosed. |

An elongated guide member is positioned on a bow and extends longitudinally in a direction of shooting motion of the bow's bowstring. The guide member includes elongated parallel portions for guiding both short projectiles and arrows. A short projectile is provided which slidably engages the parallel portions. The guide member also includes projections which engage recesses in the support. The guide member also includes a resilient element to allow passage of oversized or deformed projectiles. A projectile includes a groove or slot extending longitudinally along the body portion of the projectile. Another projectile has elongated ridges positioned at the base of its wings. Another embodiment of the guide employs rod-like parallel portions. |

An elongated horizontal barrel, transfer tube and cylinder are provided in vertically laterally stacked relation with the barrel disposed uppermost and the cylinder disposed lowermost. Closure structure is provided for the rear end of the barrel and the rear end of the barrel and transfer tube are in closed communication with each other while the forward ends of the transfer tube and cylinder are in closed communication with each other. The closure structure is shiftable to a position opening the rear end of the barrel and the rear end of the barrel may receive a blow dart therein after which the rear end of the barrel is closed. A piston is freely slidable within the cylinder and elastic tubing structure is provided for yieldingly biasing the piston forwardly within the cylinder and cocking structure is provided whereby the piston may be manually displaced rearwardly in the cylinder against the biasing action of the force structure. Finally, trigger actuatable retaining structure is provided for releasably retaining the piston in a rearmost displaced position within the cylinder. |

A blow dart game comprises a tube having an abutment therein for abutting against a dart which is inserted into the tube, thereby preventing the dart from coming out of the tube and being ingested or swallowed by a user. The abutment may be provided directly on the tube, or on a mouthpiece which is connected to the tube at one end of the tube. The darts have suction cups at the front ends thereof and a seal for providing a substantial air seal against the inner surface of the tube. The dart further has a shock absorbing section at the forward portion thereof to enhance its adherence to non-flat and/or non-perpendicular target surfaces. An impact member is provided in some of the darts to improve adherence to the target surface. |

A blowgun assembly and associated darts capable of long range accurate target application, comprising an elongate launching tube of exceptionally light weight, high rigidity, and dimensional stability along with an associated mouthpiece and a dart quiver affixed to the tube. The darts comprise a metallic wire shaft with an affixed bulbous member at the rear end which serves as an air piston for dart propulsion and also as a stabilizing member during flight of the dart. The blowgun is proportioned so that the dart is propelled by a brief comfortable puff of air into the mouthpiece by the user, without significant strain. Therefore the blowgun assembly is extremely comfortable to use and very accurate so that its sporting use in very enjoyable. |
