Patent ID: 7389774

Claim:
A device for projecting an object comprising: a frame having an aperture therethrough and an inner portion grippable by a human hand; a projectile pouch comprising opposed sides, each side having an inner face and an outer face, gripping means adjacent a proximal end, and a distal opening vertically defined by distal edges of the opposed inner faces, wherein the gripping means comprises an elongated generally cylindrical element disposed through and generally perpendicular to the pouch sides adjacent the proximal edge and having a length extending from each outer face of the pouch sufficient to generally span a width of a human finger; a plurality of elongated elastic elements affixed at distal ends in spaced relation around the frame and at proximal ends to the pouch, each of the elastic elements threaded through the pouch along upper and lower edges thereof and positioned to horizontally define the pouch opening; an elongated first support affixed at a distal end generally perpendicular to the frame and extending in a proximal direction therefrom, the first support adapted for being positioned along an inside of a human arm; and an elongated second support movably affixed at an outer end generally perpendicular to the first support and to the frame, the second support adapted for being positioned under a human arm; wherein the pouch is movable between a stretched position wherein the elastic elements are biased via the pouch gripping means in a proximal direction and a projecting position wherein the pouch gripping means is released, the elastic elements urging the pouch in a distal direction toward the frame aperture and permitting a projectile positioned in the pouch to be released in a proximal direction through the pouch opening and the frame aperture.
