Abstract
A flying disk toy includes an annular inner ring centered on the axis and connected with an outer ring, and a flexible material secured to the inner ring and creating a trampoline surface. The inner ring is detachably received in a groove in the outer ring. The groove has an undercut, and the inner ring has a portion including relatively movable flanges that engage in the undercut in the groove to resist removal of the inner ring from the groove.
Claims15
A sports activity device adapted to be both a flying disc and a racquet-like apparatus, comprising:
- an annular outer ring having an outer surface and an annular groove in the outer surface;
- an annular inner ring detachably connectable with the outer ring and defining a central opening in the inner ring;
- and
- a flexible material secured to the inner ring and extending across the central opening of the inner ring and creating a trampoline surface that stretches across the central opening of the inner ring;
- the inner ring being received in the groove of the outer ring, to detachably connect the inner ring and thereby the flexible material to the outer ring;
- the groove having an irregular configuration defined by a series of side surfaces intersecting with each other and with the outer surface of the outer ring;
- the inner ring having an irregular configuration including a plurality of relatively movable flanges that engage at least one of the side surfaces of the groove to resist removal of the ring from the groove thereby to resist disconnection of the inner ring from the outer ring.
