Abstract

A toy projectile that has a shaft with a head end and a tail end is described herein. A head is associated with the head end of the shaft. Fins are associated with the tail end of the shaft. Extending hooks extend outward from the sides of the head.

Claims (46)

1. A toy arrow comprising:

(a) a shaft having a head end and a tail end, said shaft having a shaft diameter;

(b) a head is associated with said head end of said shaft, said head having sides, at least the majority of said head having a head diameter that is greater in length than said shaft diameter;

(c) fins are associated with said tail end of said shaft; and

(d) extending nocking hooks extend outward from said sides of said head;

(e) wherein said toy arrow is a safety-tipped arrow designed for use in children's play.

2. The toy arrow of claim 1 , said head being a distinct head.

3. The toy arrow of claim 1 , said head being an enlarged head.

4. The toy arrow of claim 1 , said extending nocking hooks being a pair of extending nocking hooks extending outward from opposite sides of said head.

5. The toy arrow of claim 1 , a first end of each said extending nocking hook being associated with said head.

6. The toy arrow of claim 1 , a first end of each said extending nocking hook being associated with said head, a second end of each said extending nocking hook being distal from said head.

7. The toy arrow of claim 1 , a first end of each said extending nocking hook being associated with said head, a second end of each said extending nocking hook being distal from said head, said second end extending towards said shaft and said fins.

8. The toy arrow of claim 1 , said extending nocking hooks being a first extending nocking hook and a second extending nocking hook, said first extending nocking hook configured to engage a first bow element that provides half the force used to propel the toy arrow, and said second extending nocking hook configured to engage a second bow element that provides half the force used to propel the toy arrow.

9. The toy arrow of claim 1 , said head having a head maximum diameter, said shaft diameter being less than 50% of the length of said head maximum diameter.

10. A toy arrow comprising:

(a) a shaft having a head end and a tail end;

(b) a distinct enlarged head is associated with said head end of said shaft, said enlarged head having two opposite sides;

(c) fins are associated with said tail end of said shaft; and

(d) extending nocking hooks extend outward from said opposite sides of said enlarged head;

(e) wherein said toy arrow is a safety-tipped arrow designed for use in children's play.

11. The toy arrow of claim 10 , said shaft having a shaft diameter, at least the majority of said enlarged head having a head diameter that is greater than said shaft diameter.

12. The toy arrow of claim 10 , a first end of each said extending nocking hook being associated with one of said opposite sides of said enlarged head.

13. The toy arrow of claim 10 , a first end of each said extending nocking hook being associated with one of said opposite sides of said enlarged head, a second end of each said extending nocking hook being distal from said enlarged head.

14. The toy arrow of claim 10 , a first end of each said extending nocking hook being associated with one of said opposite sides of said enlarged head, a second end of each said extending nocking hook being distal from said enlarged head, said second end extending towards said shaft and said fins.

15. The toy arrow of claim 10 , said extending nocking hooks being a first extending nocking hook and a second extending nocking hook, said first extending nocking hook configured to engage a first bow element that provides half the force used to propel the toy arrow, and said second extending nocking hook configured to engage a second bow element that provides half the force used to propel the toy arrow.

16. The toy arrow of claim 10 , said shaft having a shaft diameter, said head having a head maximum diameter, said shaft diameter being less than 50% of the length of said head maximum diameter.

17. A toy arrow comprising:

(a) a shaft having a head end and a tail end, said shaft having a shaft diameter;

(b) a distinct enlarged head is associated with said head end of said shaft, said enlarged head having two opposite sides, at least the majority of said enlarged head having a head diameter that is greater in length than said shaft diameter;

(c) fins are associated with said tail end of said shaft;

(d) extending nocking hooks extend outward from said opposite sides of said enlarged head, a first end of each said extending nocking hook being associated with one of said opposite sides of said enlarged head, a second end of each said extending nocking hook being distal from said enlarged head, said second end extending towards said shaft and said fins; and

(e) said extending nocking hooks being a first extending nocking hook and a second extending nocking hook, said first extending nocking hook configured to engage a first bow element that provides half the force used to propel the toy arrow, and said second extending nocking hook configured to engage a second bow element that provides half the force used to propel the toy arrow;

(f) wherein said toy arrow is a safety-tipped arrow designed for use in children's play.

18. The toy arrow of claim 17 , said head having a head maximum diameter, said shaft diameter being less than 50% of the length of said head maximum diameter.

19. A toy arrow comprising:

(a) a shaft having a head end and a tail end, said shaft having a shaft diameter;

(b) a head is associated with said head end of said shaft, said head having sides, at least the majority of said head having a head diameter that is greater in length than said shaft diameter, said head having a head maximum diameter, said shaft diameter being less than 50% of the length of said head maximum diameter;

(c) fins are associated with said tail end of said shaft; and

(d) extending nocking hooks extend outward from said sides of said head.

20. The toy arrow of claim 19 , said head being a distinct head.

21. The toy arrow of claim 19 , said head being an enlarged head.

22. The toy arrow of claim 19 , said extending nocking hooks being a pair of extending nocking hooks extending outward from opposite sides of said head.

23. The toy arrow of claim 19 , a first end of each said extending nocking hook being associated with said head.
