Throw and Catch Toy

Abstract

A throw and catch toy having a head section and a long tail section. The head section is weight such that the weight of the toy is distributed more towards the head end of the toy. The head is affixed to the tail by means of a tube which can whistle when the toy is thrown.

         2 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 1  wherein the ratio weight of said head assembly to said tail is in the range of approximately 3 to 6. 
     
     
         3 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 2  wherein the ratio weight of said head assembly to said tail is in the range of approximately 4 to 5. 
     
     
         4 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 3  wherein the ratio weight of said head assembly to said tail is approximately 4.8. 
     
     
         5 . A throw and catch toy comprising:
 a head, said head defining a head cavity having an aperture;   a tail with a proximal end and a distal end, a portion of said proximal end situated inside said head cavity via said aperture;   said proximal end of said tail defining a mass cavity; and   a mass positioned in said mass cavity.   
     
     
         6 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 5 , further comprising a fixation means for fixating said head to said tail. 
     
     
         7 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 6  wherein
 said tail defines a second cavity therethrough in said proximal end, said second cavity having a pair of apertures positioned on opposite sides of said tail; 
 said head defines a pair of apertures, said apertures aligning with said apertures in said tail when said tail is positioned in said head cavity; 
 said fixation means comprises a tube sized to fit in said second cavity in said tail and a pair of caps sized to fit in said tube, said caps each having a face, each of said faces having a diameter larger than the diameter of said apertures in said head. 
 
     
     
         8 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 7  wherein each of said caps has a slit formed therethrough. 
     
     
         9 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 5 , further comprising a sleeve positioned on said proximal end of said tail. 
     
     
         10 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 9 , further comprising a fixation means for fixating said head to said tail. 
     
     
         11 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 10  wherein
 said tail defines a second cavity therethrough in said proximal end, said second cavity having a pair of apertures positioned on opposite sides of said tail; 
 said head defines a pair of apertures, said apertures aligning with said apertures in said tail when said tail is positioned in said head cavity; 
 said sleeve defines a pair of apertures, said apertures aligning with said apertures in said tail when said sleeve is positioned on said tail; 
 said fixation means comprises a tube sized to fit in said second cavity in said tail and a pair of caps sized to fit in said tube, said caps each having a face, each of said faces having a diameter larger than the diameter of said apertures in said head. 
 
     
     
         12 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 11  wherein each of said caps has a slit formed therethrough. 
     
     
         13 . A throw and catch toy comprising:
 a head assembly comprising a head and a mass, said head defining a head cavity having an aperture;   a tail with a proximal end and a distal end, a portion of said proximal end situated inside said head cavity via said aperture; and   said proximal end of said tail defining a mass cavity for receiving said mass;   wherein the ratio weight of said head assembly to said tail is in the range of approximately 4 to 5.   
     
     
         14 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 13 , wherein said head assembly further comprising a fixation means for fixating said head to said tail. 
     
     
         15 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 14  wherein
 said tail defines a second cavity therethrough in said proximal end, said second cavity having a pair of apertures positioned on opposite sides of said tail; 
 said head defines a pair of apertures, said apertures aligning with said apertures in said tail when said tail is positioned in said head cavity; 
 said fixation means comprises a tube sized to fit in said second cavity in said tail and a pair of caps sized to fit in said tube, said caps each having a face, each of said faces having a diameter larger than the diameter of said apertures in said head. 
 
     
     
         16 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 15  wherein each of said caps has a slit formed therethrough. 
     
     
         17 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 13 , wherein said head assembly further comprises a sleeve for receiving said proximal end of said tail. 
     
     
         18 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 17 , wherein said head assembly further comprises a fixation means for fixating said head to said tail. 
     
     
         19 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 18  wherein
 said tail defines a second cavity therethrough in said proximal end, said second cavity having a pair of apertures positioned on opposite sides of said tail; 
 said head defines a pair of apertures, said apertures aligning with said apertures in said tail when said tail is positioned in said head cavity; 
 said sleeve defines a pair of apertures, said apertures aligning with said apertures in said tail when said sleeve is positioned on said tail; 
 said fixation means comprises a tube sized to fit in said second cavity in said tail and a pair of caps sized to fit in said tube, said caps each having a face, each of said faces having a diameter larger than the diameter of said apertures in said head. 
 
     
     
         20 . The throw and catch toy of  claim 19  wherein each of said caps has a slit formed therethrough.
