The classroom would become a more dangerous place if every student were wearing the Catapult Boy ring. The Catapult Boy ring is a playful piece of jewelery designed primarily to shoot rubber bands.
The Catapult Boy ring was designed by Appliance Studio. The band is all-black and looks to be made of plastic. The device has a simple design with a raised fin being used to shoot the rubber bands. I doubt that teachers would be very receptive to the idea of rings that shoot rubber bands, but it is nice to see such a playful jewelery concept. Here’s hoping that Appliance Studio creates a whole line of jewelery and accessories designed to remind people of the carefree days of childhood.
