Details
Inventors: Lombard, Paul W.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Yu; Mickey
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A circular rotating aerodynamic toy for launching by hand with a spinning motion and which may be caught in flight by hand, has an outer peripheral rim or skirt with a free lower portion and an upper portion that connects to the circular body of the toy, the skirt being segmented and attached to the body at a multitude of discrete points around the outer periphery of the body so that between the discrete points of connection the body is free to bend and flex about diametric lines passing through any position on the periphery of the toy, whereby the toy is substantially more flexible than it would be if the attachment of the skirt to the periphery of the body were continuous around the periphery, and so impact forces of the toy upon colliding in flight with another body are minimized.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A circular rotating aerodynamic toy for launching by hand in an upright position in which a spinning motion is imparted to the toy as it is launched causing the toy to spin on its axis comprising parts as follows when the toy is oriented in its upright position with its spin axis vertical, (a) a thin-walled circular body having an outer perimeter, (b) a rim attached to said outer perimeter and extending therefrom generally downward, (c) said rim is formed in a multitude of individual segments arranged about said outer perimeter of said thin-walled body, (d) said individual segments are separated from each other around said outer perimeter, (e) said individual segments each have an upper portion that attaches to said body outer perimeter and a lower portion that attaches to and extends downward from said upper portion and (f) said segments upper portions are narrower in the circumferential direction than said segments lower portions, (g) whereby the toy may readily flex and bend about diametrical lines and between said segments.
2.
A circular rotating toy as in claim 1 wherein, (a) the circumferential dimension between adjacent ones of said segments upper portions is substantially greater than the circumferential dimension of said segments upper portions.
3.
A circular rotating toy as in claim 1 wherein, (a) the circumferential dimension between adjacent ones of said segments upper portions is substantially greater than the circumferential dimension between said adjacent segments lower portions.
4.
A circular rotating toy as in claim 1 wherein, (a) said segments lower portions are displaced axially downward and radially outward from said body outer perimeter by said segments upper portions, (b) whereby impact forces imparted to said segments lower portions are transmitted to said body by said upper portions producing a torque thereon tending to bend said body.
5.
A circular rotating toy as in claim 4 wherein, (a) the circumferential dimension between adjacent ones of said segments upper portions is substantially greater than the circumferential dimension of said segments upper portions
