Abstract
A sports activity device playable, for example, as a device for launching and catching objects and as a tossable flying disc. Embodiments of the sports activity device includes an outer annular ring member and an inner annular ring assembly detachably engaged to the outer annular ring member. The inner annular ring assembly may include an inner annular ring member and an engagement assembly configured and operable to facilitate detachable engagement of the inner annular ring assembly with the outer annular ring member.
Claims12
A sports activity device, adapted to be both a flying disc and a racquet-like apparatus, comprising:
- an outer annular ring member having a continuous outer surface and a continuous inner surface;
- and
- an inner annular ring assembly detachably engaged to said outer annular ring member, said inner annular ring assembly including:
- an inner annular ring member having a continuous outer surface and a continuous inner surface;
- an engagement assembly provided on said continuous outer surface of said inner annular ring member configured and operable to facilitate said detachable engagement of said inner annular ring assembly with said outer annular ring member;
- and
- a flexible material creating a substantially uninterrupted planar trampoline surface that stretches across an annular cavity defined by said continuous inner surface of said inner ring member, wherein said flexible material is attached to said continuous inner surface of said inner ring member;
- wherein said engagement assembly includes said inner ring member to have a cross-section forming a substantially cross-sectionally symmetrical open cavity along its continuous outer surface configured and operable to detachably engage with a portion of said continuous inner surface of said outer annular ring member but to not separate when a load is applied substantially perpendicular to said planar trampoline surface so as to enable the user to launch or receive objects as a racquet-like apparatus.

A sports activity device, adapted to be both a flying disc and a racquet-like apparatus, comprising:
- an outer annular ring member having a continuous outer surface and a continuous inner surface;
- an inner annular ring assembly including an inner ring member having a continuous outer surface and a continuous inner surface, said continuous outer surface of said inner ring member having a cross-section forming a substantially cross-sectionally symmetrical open cavity, said inner ring assembly further including a flexible material, attached to said continuous inner surface of said inner ring member, creating a substantially uninterrupted planar trampoline surface that stretches across an annular cavity defined by said continuous inner surface of said inner ring member;
- and
- an engagement member affixed to said continuous inner surface of said outer annular ring member having an engagement projection extending inwardly from said continuous inner surface of said outer annular ring member configured and operable to detachably engage with said open cavity of said continuous outer surface of said inner annular ring member but to not separate when a load is applied substantially perpendicular to said planar trampoline surface so as to enable the user to launch or receive objects as a racquet-like apparatus.

A sports activity device, adapted to be both a flying disc and a racquet-like apparatus, comprising:
- an outer annular ring member having a continuous outer surface and a continuous inner surface;
- and
- an inner annular ring assembly detachably engaged to said outer annular ring member, said inner annular ring assembly including:
- an inner annular ring member having a continuous outer surface and a continuous inner surface with said continuous inner surface defining an annular cavity
- an engagement assembly provided on said continuous outer surface of said inner annular ring member configured and operable to facilitate said detachable engagement of said inner annular ring assembly with said outer annular ring member, said engagement assembly including said inner ring member to have a cross-section forming a substantially cross-sectionally symmetrical open cavity along its continuous outer surface configured and operable to detachably engage with said continuous inner surface of said outer annular ring member;
- and
- a flexible material creating a substantially uninterrupted planar trampoline surface that stretches across said annular cavity of said inner ring member, said flexible material being attached to said continuous inner surface of said inner ring member,
- wherein said substantially cross-sectionally symmetrical open cavity does not separate from said continuous inner surface of said outer annular ring member when a load is applied substantially perpendicular to said planar trampoline surface so as to enable the user to launch or receive objects as a racquet-like apparatus.
