A sports racket having a handle portion and grip that is longer in length and equal to or smaller in diameter than a conventional racket so as to provide a racket which can be swung with a two-handed grip when hitting either a forehand or a backhand shot. The grip has an overall length equal to or greater than three hand widths of the player using the racket.

An aerodynamically-shaped flying disc comprised of two separate and distinct parts, a disc body portion and one or more separate rim portions. In one embodiment, the connection between the body and rim portions is permanent. In a second embodiment, the connection is disengageable to permit the use of interchangeable rim portions of different aerodynamic configurations, colors, dimensions and weights.

A water play toy shaped in the form of an animal or cartoon character in which the body is provided with an outlet section which has a plurality of flexible hollow tubes attached to water outlets spaced around the outlet section. A source of water under pressure is coupled to a conduit passing through the body and communicates with the outlet section for distributing water to the hollow tubes. When the water pressure is turned on, a plurality of individual jets of water are emitted by the individual tubes. Because the tubes are flexible they writhe and twist in a random motion pattern due to the action and reaction forces of the water acting on the tubes. In one embodiment a first enclosed chamber compresses the outlet section. A second enclosed chamber is built into the upper interior portion of the first chamber which communicates with a small pinhole-type outlet to provide a misting or fogging aspect to the overall water pattern emitted by the water play toy. As long as water pressure is uninterrupted water continues to flow through the flexible lines and the fogger creating a pattern of small waving streams of water within which a heavy mist pattern of water droplets is interspersed. The result is around 360.degree. pattern of water distribution around the toy.

Visual display apparatus

An article in the form of an open framework defining an oblong scoop for throwing, catching and cradling projectiles. The framework of the scoop includes a rim and projectile guide tracks located along the back of the interior of the scoop. The tracks and a top portion of the front face of the rim where the tracks terminate have an uneven surface to enable a user of the article to impart a spin to projectiles.
