(under subclass 569) Subject matter wherein the projectile comprises a body having a configuration such that, when it is lying upon a flat surface, one edge portion thereof is capable of being raised into the air whenever the opposite edge is forcibly struck or pressed upon (often the body is elongated and tapered at one or both ends thereof or simply tapered in configuration), which projectile is intended to be used in the play of the game commonly known as tipcat in which the projectile, while lying upon a support surface, is intended to be forcibly struck from above on an end or edge portion thereof by a bat, club, or other handheld striking implement so that it is flipped end-over-end or edge-over-edge into the air and either (a) thereby projected directly toward one or more distantly located targets or fielders, or (b) subsequently reprojected toward one or more distantly located targets or fielders by being again batted by the bat, club, or other handheld striking implement while it is still in the air.
