Rubber stick throw toy

Abstract

A toy for throwing, bouncing, and catching has an elongate hollow cylindrical tube which extends at each end to and partially about respective high bounce cylindrical balls. The cylindrical balls each have a reduced diameter which extends partially into the hollow tube. A conforming collar or sleeve jointly extends outwardly and around the cylindrical tube and cylindrical high bounce balls to provide added security and support. Such design improves the stability and recovery of the overall toy during and after being impacted under striking load conditions, and thereby improves the interactivity between one or more players.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A thrown, caught, and bounced toy, comprising: 
 (a) an elongate hollow cylindrical tube having a length to be conveniently grasped by at least one hand of a person, and to extend about respective exteriors of specially formed high bounce cylindrical balls; and    (b) specially formed high bounce cylindrical balls having respective exteriors to fit partial into the respective ends of the cylindrical tube, thereby providing a frictionally fitting clearance diameter.    
     
     
         2 . A thrown, caught, and bounced toy, as claimed in  1 , wherein the high bounce cylindrical balls are made from a heated and compressed synthetic rubber.  
     
     
         3 . A thrown, caught, and bounced toy, as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the cylindrical tube is made from plastic tubing.  
     
     
         4 . A thrown, caught, bounced toy, comprising: 
 (a) an elongate hollow cylindrical tube having a length to be conveniently grasped by at least one hand of a person, and to extend around respective exteriors of specially formed high bounce cylindrical balls;    (b) specially formed high bounce cylindrical balls having respective exteriors to fit into the respective ends of the cylindrical tube; and    (c) a conforming exterior collar or sleeve jointly extending outwardly and around the cylindrical tube and the cylindrical high bounce balls.
