Abstract
A sheet of resiliently bendable but relatively stiff material has a hole from which slits radiate to define a circular series of stiff but resiliently bendable tabs. When the sheet is pressed downwardly over a fairly hard ball the tabs are flexed to pass over the diameter of the ball and they then snap back to normal position projecting the ball upwardly by cam action on its lower hemisphere. In one form of the invention a flexible magazine is secured to one side of the projector permitting sequential forcing of balls through the projector in rapid fire fashion.
