Benefits of technology

The invention is a device that helps to launch clay pigeons with a smooth trajectory and high speed. It uses a swinging motion that generates a centrifugal force to cause the clay pigeon to rotate or roll on its edge until it is released into the air. The speed and length of the swing have a corresponding effect on the speed at which the clay pigeon leaves the thrower and travels away from it. The device has no moving parts, making it more affordable, durable, and easy to use. Overall, the invention helps to improve the performance of clay pigeons in hunting and other sports activities.

Problems solved by technology

There are a few hand held devices on the market with each presenting a number of problems such as breaking of the clay pigeon upon loading, failing to release the clay pigeon, inaccuracy in throwing, inconsistency in throwing, etc.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]The thrower as illustrated in the figures consists of a straight circular handle 1 which is twelve inches in length and one and one-half inches in diameter. The end of the handle 2 flares out a half-inch to provide better grip and prevent slipping. The handle divides and separates into two straight arms 4. The point of separation 3 is in the shape of an arc or crescent conducive to the shape of the clay pigeon and is where the clay pigeon 8 is seated and cradled preparatory to launching the clay pigeon. Each arm 4 is sixteen inches in length.

[0016]The distance between the arms at the open point of the thrower 5 is four and three-eighths inches, wide enough to allow the clay pigeon to freely release during the swing of the thrower. The distance between the arms tapers slightly towards the handle such that at the point of the cradle 6 the distance between the arms is four and one-quarter inches. The tapered distance between the arms allows the clay pigeon to stay in place in the...

Abstract

A symmetrical, single piece, hand held clay pigeon thrower, made of durable plastic, consisting of a handle at one end which then separates into parallel arms. The internal side of each arm contains a recessed channel along the lengths of the arms whereby a clay pigeon can be loaded into the channel at the end of the arms and slid towards the handle. The swinging of the thrower causes the clay pigeon to rotate along the length of the arms and channels and then launch. The arms are of such a length to accommodate up to two clay pigeons. The device may be used by both right-handed and left-handed individuals.
