Abstract
A flying disc toy includes a cylindrical rim and a flat circular airfoil located within the rim. The centerline of the edge of the airfoil is positioned to bisect the side surface of the rim, resulting in a flying disc toy of increased stability and throwing ease. A cord, preferably of elastic material, is tethered to the symmetrical center of the circular airfoil.
Claims19
A flying toy comprising:
- a circular center airfoil having a fixed diameter, an outer edge, a top surface, and a bottom surface, the top surface being planar, the bottom surface being planar and spaced apart from the top surface;
- a cylindrical outer rim having a diameter equal to the diameter of the circular center airfoil fastened to the circular center airfoil at the outer edge of the circular center airfoil, the cylindrical rim having a vertical height that extends beyond the top surface and bottom surface of the circular center airfoil;
- a cord attached to the circular center airfoil;
- and
- weighting means for increasing the weight of the toy at the intersection of said circular center airfoil and said outer cylindrical rim.
