HANDHELD LAUNCHING DEVICE

摘要

A device is provided for launching an object (such as a football) in the air in a spiral fashion as if thrown by a professional football player. In one version, the launcher has a generally elongated body with a handle on the proximal end and a socket for holding the football on the distal end. The socket has two concave walls facing each other on each side of the socket. It has a rubber structure on the top and a finlike design flaring outward, which enables the football to spin in the air when it is launched there from. It is operated by properly fitting the football snugly in the socket of the device and swinging the device in a forward overhead motion
