Abstract

A rigid, hand-held disc launcher for launching small cardboard discs, having a handle (1) attached to a head (2) which is curved in a substantially semi-circular arc of approximately 180.degree.. An open-ended slot runs through the entire arc of the curved head with one slot opening (4) in the head being located near the handle and the other slot opening (5) being located at the other end of the head. A disc inserted in the slot opening near the handle is launched from the other slot opening when accelerated by centrifugal forces caused by the disc launcher being swung forward by the handle.
