SHUTTLECOCK LAUNCHER OF VARIOI IS USES
INVENTION
The invention is a flyincJ object coml)risecl of c~n ek~stic bocly. as a rule. where it
is possible to fit severai directional elements toJether. ancl accorclin~ to tilem.
5 its use may vary.
HISTORY OF THE INVENTION
Accordin~ to the ~chlal technique it is kllown a sort of l)ali made of feathers,10 which imitates the oriJinal macle ol cl small l)cl~3 of lealller. tull of llour.etc clnd
with feathers fastenecl with strin~s etc whicll has beell in use for a~es in
southamerica.
There is a smaller object, used to play Badmintom m~tde of feathers fastened
to a piece of corck~ which is a variant from atl Indian Jame called poonfl: the
15 present invention presents a body that is normaly elastic in orcler to admit t~lese
possibilities amon~ many others.
DESCRIPTION O~ THE INVENTION
20 This invention is a flyincJ object comprised of a normally elastic bocly. witl~ the
possibility lo fit several different pieces or directiollllal elements tocJetl~er to
help and influence its fli~ht and direction. d~lrincJ the flkJllt Ihese pieces are
aiways at the rear, there is no dan~er of impact injuries ( as it is elastic ) its use
can vary depending on these elements, such as a tuft of ribbons, threads etc. a
- 25 string to launch like a sling or fly like a kite. with fe~athers~ wincJs, etc. it m~y be
punched and handlaunched with racquets. etc. it may be h~ncllaunclled and
picked up with nothin~ but the feathers tuft ancl it ma.y be ~Ised by one or
several persons. It may have various possible uses either ~s a cJame. a toy or asport.
30 It is a novelty as for its desi~n characteristics. its sl~pe alld llle various
possible uses, with the advallta-Je lhat some of llle pieces may l~e usecl for
makin~ different products.
The elastic body may have multiple possibilities of sh~pes and sizes in order loreach functional and commercial purposes and adverlisincJ messaJes. all sorts

The Shuttlecock Launcher is Inac~e of an elastic ~oc~ will~ one l)o~ly or

that may vary in hei~ht ancl width ~ccorclin~ to its use. ~lensity of materials.5 distrib~tion of wei hts. etc. it mfly also chan~e illtO clifferent ShlpeS. such flS fl
sphere. etc. It is elastic ancl resistanl like rubber. foam rul)ber or foaln. Ils cavity
may have variflble sizes and ~oes through it totaly or p~rti~ly enablinJ to
couple to directional elements ( desicJnecl ) with fl support part. which may be a
cylinder. ( plastic or similar ) encirclecl by projection/s ( the shape of parallel
10 rincJs ) at suitable ~aps. The support part is crossed over longit~lc~inaly ( total
or partialy ) by a cavity. preferably conic-trunk or cylincler shaped etc.. its borcler
fits into the support part. This support p~rt couples and holds the elastic bocly
as well as the various directional elements desicJned th~nks to its projections or
rings and to the pressure prflcticecl by the elasticity ~ncl the strencJth of the
15 material itself when enlarcJed by the piece. ~Ctjl.lStill~ ttle sizes ( of botll the
piece ancl the cavity ). This sllpport part is able to carry all~ holcl several
directionfll elements ( which cooper~te anct inflllence ils lli~ht ~ncl ctirection )
as the cavity may have multiple shapes ancl/ or clklmeters. it is possil)le to vary
the elements coupled thereto flnd the uses. accorcling to tlle shape of l~e cavity
20 and to the position of the body.
So. whenever the hollow s~lpport part is introcl~lcec~ illtO the cavity of the elastic
body. its shape becomes a conic-trunk. the largest openin~ f lces llle exterior.the conic shape decreasincJ towards the exterior shall act as a top in order to
stop the flexible parts or elements from falling out . such as ribbons. threads.25 etc sticking to it with the help of fl simple knot or a washer a size big~er th~n

with the tuft and the thread acting as a tail. At the encl of this lhreacl it is possible
to fix and hold an hollow part . with or without a cover. to a central orifice ~ in
35 order to launch it accllrately ): the opposite encl. wllere the threflcl is introduced
with a knot. bigger than this orifice ~n~ smaller thclll the hollow part . so that

1 nothing prevents it from rotatincJ. fastens and is able to rolate on itself. The tuft
of rihbons or the l~uncllinJ thread. may be ltsed on its own allc1 may l)e
launched or hold b~ck with the hancls.
When the bigger opening of the hollow support part ( conic-trllnl< ) introduced
5 into lhe body faces the exterior~ the cone decreflsincJ towarcls the inside shall
enable the insertioll of: fl) all sort of s~litable directional elements s~lch ~s
wings. feathers. etc. which will fit and hold tocJetl~er according to a greater
penetration into this cone; bj directional elemenls generally designed with
projections ( the last ring helcl by the smaller openincJ. or not ). So. it may be
10 launched or hit with tlle llancis. racq~lets. etc.
In this position. the hollow part may be crossed from one en~t to the other
enabling to use the external part of the sm~ller openillg as a fastenil1cJ top. As
- well as the tuft knot and the launching thread. that micJht also be ~Ised as
described. with the smallest opening towards the exterior.The tuft ancl/or the
15 threacl knot~s. clip/s etc. can also be fixecl into the llollow of the s~lpport part ~(
that could be crossed from one end to the other or partially ~nd have different
s~hapes such as cylinder or conic-tr~ln~ etc.~ and have a f~stening piece): by its
shape with different diamelers.: by the external sicle of the openillJ fixect inside
the body; ~by the press~lre of the s~lpport part rrlcllerial whel1 expanded t~y this

fasténed by ~: topls; by an orifice/s; pressin~ it belween the wall/s of the cavity
and / or the support part. etc. Also the pressure of the rnaterial of the support

25 Also. the tuft and/or the thread knot/s may be~ placed ctirectly into the body
,

~; ~ various of the possible bodies comprised in the body with an orilice etc.; or by
the pressure of the body material in/ a~ainst this fasteninJ knot ancl a supportwedge part ( with possible projectio~ns. hole. etc) or without it.
30 Likewise. seueral pieces or elements have l)een c~esigned to couple to each
~ ~ other. and. once they are co~lpled. they may couple inlo the body like
- ~ directional elements: elther in the support part or directly into the body. The
external part of these piece is comprised of a central axle. with one or several, ~ ,
side wings; of fastening projections. male and female couplers ( or without
35 them ) on the base: on their internal part ( or their hypothetica! extensioll ) an

With some sort of rincJls or similar actincJ ~s br~ckets. These directional
elements without their base ancl with no more than their external part anci the

10 intervening elements appearinJ on the surface of the bociy work as their baseand fastening as they do not have one. These intervenin~ elements may be
coupled to themselves ( as well as the male. female or brackets. projections ...)
the same way the directional elements anc~ fit tocgether in the support piece that
fits into the body: or directly into the bocIy. For instance. 4 elements with a
15 coupler of 90 degrees ( similar or not ) collpleci into 4 intervenin~ elements
with an anJle ot 90 deJrees or 3 intervenincJ elements with 90 clegrees and 3
