Feathered projectile toy

Abstract

A feathered projectile toy including a base having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion, the base being composed of stems of a plurality of feathers, a plurality of stacked elements disposed on the base with the longitudinal axis of the base extending through openings in each of the plurality of stacked elements, and a contact element disposed at the proximal end portion of the base that provides the feathered projectile toy with a striking surface.

         2 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of stacked elements are discs. 
     
     
         3 . The feathered projectile of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the stacked elements comprise a plurality of first stacked elements and a plurality of second stacked elements, each of the plurality of first stacked elements comprising a single disc and each of the plurality of second stacked elements comprising at least two discs that are adhered together. 
     
     
         4 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of stacked elements are curved discs. 
     
     
         5 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 4 , wherein the diameter of each of the plurality of stacked elements is between 30 mm and 40 mm. 
     
     
         6 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 1 , where the plurality of stacked elements are made of plastic. 
     
     
         7 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 6 , wherein the plurality of stacked elements are made of polyvinyl chloride. 
     
     
         8 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 1 , wherein the stems of the plurality of feathers are attached together. 
     
     
         9 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 1 , wherein the contact element is disc shaped. 
     
     
         10 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 1 , wherein the stems of the plurality of feathers comprise portions that are bent outwards at the proximal end portion of the base. 
     
     
         11 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 10 , wherein the bent portions of the stems are attached to the contact element. 
     
     
         12 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 11 , further comprising threading that attaches the bent portion of the stems to the contact element. 
     
     
         13 . A feathered projectile toy comprising:
 a base having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end;   a plurality of stacked elements disposed on the base with the longitudinal axis of the base extending through openings in each of the plurality of stacked elements; and   a plurality of feathers extending from the distal end of the base.   
     
     
         14 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 13 , wherein each of the plurality of stacked elements are discs. 
     
     
         15 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 14 , wherein each of the plurality of stacked elements are curved discs. 
     
     
         16 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 15 , wherein the diameter of each of the plurality of stacked elements is between 30 mm and 40 mm. 
     
     
         17 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 14 , wherein each of the plurality of stacked elements has a thickness between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm. 
     
     
         18 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 14 , wherein each of the plurality of stacked elements has a height between 5 mm and 7 mm. 
     
     
         19 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 14 , wherein the opening in each of the plurality of stacked elements has a diameter between 12 mm and 13 mm. 
     
     
         20 . The feathered projectile toy of  claim 13 , where the plurality of stacked elements are made of plastic.
