A device for launching an article 6, the device including a handle 1, a release means 3 and a linking means 2. The device being arranged such that a co-operating means 4 on the article 6 is engaged with the release means 3, which is linked by the linking means 2 to the handle 1. The article 6 can be launched by swinging the handle 1, the path of the article 6 being guided by the path swept by the handle 1, until the impetus of the article 6 is sufficient to part the release means 3 from the co-operating means 4. The article is then released with substantial forward momentum. The release means and co-operating means part gradually backwards from their leading edges. The release and co-operating means may be formed from strips of a two component releasable fastening system for contact engagement. The initial engagement between the release and co-operating means may be changed to vary the impetus of the launch. <IMAGE>
