CASTING DART Filed Aug. 5, 1945 [fro/ways Patented Feb. 28, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CASTING DART Robert M. McElroy, East Gadsden, Ala.
Application August 3, 1945, Serial No. 608,625
1 Claim.
This invention relates to toy dart structures, and more particularly to a dart device adapted to be attached to the line of a casting rod to be cast at targets and to be used in games devised therefor.
A main object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved toy dart structure of simple design which is readily adapted to be attached to a casting line.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved toy dart which is sturdy in construction and which may be easily manufactured.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description and claim, and from the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view, partly in section, of a dart structure in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a rear end View of the dart structure of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings, I designates a toy dart comprising a pointed metal tip 2 and a streamlined body portion 3 formed with three rear vanes 4 and being provided with a rear eye lug 5 for securement to a casting line. The body portion 3 may be made of either wood or plastic, and in the embodiment of Figure 1, said body portion is moulded of plastic, the metal tip 2 being formed with an integral rear extension 6 formed with a bulbous rear head 1 for providing a secure bond in the moulded plastic. Where body portion 3 is made of wood the bulbous head I is omitted and extension 6 is formed as a wood screw, or otherwise shaped, to be secured firmly to the body portion. Where the body portion 3 is of plastic, as in Figure 1, eye lug 5 is embedded in the rear end of the body portion in the same manner as the metal tip. For a wooden body portion, eye lug 5 may be formed with threads for securement to said body portion.
The vanes t may be made integral with body portion 3 or may be feathers appropriately secured to said body portion.
In use, the dart is tied to a casting line at eye lug 5, said line being secured to a casting rod 2 for hand casting. The dart is cast at a target, the object of the game being to hit the target. Besides providing an interesting game device, the above structure may be used to promote accuracy in bait or fly casting.
As shown in Figure 2, the stabilizing vane members 4 are spaced at equal angles around the periphery of the rear portion of body portion 3.
While a specific embodiment of a casting dart has been disclosed in the foregoing description, it will be understood that various modifications within the spirit of the invention may occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore it is intended that no limitations be placed on the invention other than as defined by the scope of the appended claim.
What is claimed is:
A casting dart adapted to be secured to a casting line comprising an elongated streamlined body, a sharpened, heavy metal tip secured to the forward end of said body, the rear of said tip completely covering said forward end and defining the contour thereof, a line engaging screw eye secured to the rear end of said body, said body being integrally formed with longitudinally extending vane members adjacent its rear end.
ROBERT M. McELROY.
