Launching device using pinching force

摘要

A toy device for launching a disk, a ring or a similar circular-shaped toy missile. A pair of opposed, dog-legged arms are pivoted together in an uncrossed relationship. Each of the opposed arms has a first elongated portion with an open channel for engaging the rim of the disk, ring or similar circular-shaped toy missile to be launched and a second elongated portion with a handle for grasping by the user of the toy device. All of the interior surfaces of one of the open channels are relatively smooth. One of the interior surfaces of the other open channel is textured to increase friction when it engages the rim of the disk, ring or similar circular-shaped toy missile to be launched. The coaction of the textured interior surface of one of the open channels and the opposed smooth interior surface of the other open channel on the rim of the circular-shaped toy missile imparts rotational motion to the toy missile as it is impelled forward in the open channels prior to launching.
