US20230364524A1 - Unique flying disk with a handle at the center downwards - Google Patents

Abstract

This is a flying disk with a handle at the center downwards. Having the handle at the center makes it easy to catch, makes it unique, and gives this flying disk better stability and makes it fun for everyone. The basic shape is a flying disk with a handle at the center downwards. But it can come in many sizes and shapes. It can be made out of different plastics and materials and in different colors. Also, the handle part can be used to put lights so it glows in the dark, it can make sounds, etc. This flying disk can be thrown like a regular flying disk or by the handle. The receiver can catch it like a regular flying disk or by the handle. You can even catch it and it will still keep spinning on your hand. It can spin on the grown like a top.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
• This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 13/362,855, filed February 27^th, 2012.
BACKGROUND HISTORY
• My invention is a type of flying disk. The flying disk was invented in the 20^th Century by a man of last name Frisbee. The shape of the disk is similar to a flying saucer. The disk was made out of plastic of the time. My flying disk has a handle at the center downwards which makes it unique. One time my brother in law threw me a piece of furniture which was a wood disk that had a stick at the bottom and a stick at the top like a wheel with two axels. I realized that something could be invented with this so I went to work. First I realized that the top stick had to be eliminated. Then I put the right handle that had to be smooth. Finally, I put a regular flying disk together with handle at the center downwards and it flew from my hands for the first time in Denver Colorado at Rosamond Park on Quincy and DTC Blvd. I was so happy and I (Evans Walter Abarzua) was the only inventor.
SUMMARY
• My inventions is a type of flying disk with the advantage of having a handle at the center pointing downwards, which gives it better stability, ability to do tricks, and has the tendency to recover and land up right. Also the handle makes it easy to catch. It can even be thrown by the handle. Also with this handle it can keep spinning on your hand and acts like a top. So it is very simple, it’s a flying disk with a handle at the center downwards.
DESCRIPTION OF VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS
• FIG. 1 Here is a front view of my flying disk. I called this one the flying mushroom but the name can change. This drawing shows dimensions, but the flying disk can come in many sizes and shapes. Here we can clearly see that it is a flying disk with a handle at the center downwards, this is what makes my invention unique. In this figure the handle is straight with a ball at the end. Also the handle can come in many sizes and shapes.
• FIG. 2 shows the top view of the flying disk. It is round like any other disk. Lines can be put on top for grip or for looks.
• FIG. 3 Here is a front view of my flying disk with a tapared handle. The handle can start narrower at the top and wider at the buttom, or it can even start wider at the top and narrower at the buttom. This figure clearly shows the unique feature of my invention (Evans W. Abarzua) of being a flying disk with a handle at the center downwards.
• FIG. 4 shows the inside view of my invention. The handle can be hollowed or not. Again here the dimensions shown are just for this drawing, but it can come in all sizes and shapes. What really matters is that my invention is a flying disk with a handle at the center downwards.
DETAILS OF INVENTION
• This is a flying disk with a handle at the center downwards; this feature is what makes it unique and my own invention (Evans Walter Abarzua). It can be made with all type of plastics and materials. It is composed of a flying disk part and a handle part, both fused together to create a one piece flying disk. The handle can come in different forms, straight handle, tapered handle (larger and smaller at either end), handle with a ball at the end or any other shape. Also the handle can come with curves (concaved in and/or concaved out), and it can come with grooves. Also the handle can come in all sizes. The handle can have lights, produce sounds and carry batteries, etc.

Claims (12)

I claim:

1. A disk toy comprising:

a solid circular disk body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a downwardly extending perimeter rim; and

an integral handle extending downwardly from a center of the disk body having a proximal end integrally coupled to the lower surface of the disk body;

wherein (i) a length of the handle is at least 47% a width of the solid circular disk body, and (ii) a width of the handle at the proximal end is smaller than a width of the handle at the distal end.

2. The disk toy of claim 1, the integral handle further having a light producing mechanism installed in the integral handle.

3. The disk toy of claim 1, the integral handle further having a sound producing mechanism installed in the handle.

4. The disk toy of claim 1, wherein the integral handle includes a cavity.

5. The disk toy of claim 4, wherein the integral handle has a greater thickness between an outside surface and an inside surface of the cavity at a bottom of the handle than at a midsection of the handle.

6. The disk toy of claim 4, the integral handle further having a battery located inside the cavity.

7. A disk toy comprising:

a solid circular disk body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a downwardly extending perimeter rim; and

an integral handle extending downwardly from a center of the disk body having:

a smooth outside surface;

an inside surface defining a hollow cavity within the handle; and

a proximal end integrally coupled to the lower surface of the disk body;

wherein (i) a thickness between the outside surface and the inside surface of the handle increases where the integral handle mates with the lower surface of the solid circular disk body; and (ii) a portion of the integral handle has a thickness between the outside surface and the inside surface bigger than the rest of the handle.

8. The disk toy of claim 7, the integral handle further having a light producing mechanism installed in the handle.

9. The disk toy of claim 7, the integral handle further having a sound producing mechanism installed in the handle.

10. The disk toy of claim 7, the integral handle having a greater thickness between the outside surface and the inside surface at the bottom of the handle than at a midsection of the handle.

11. The disk toy of claim 7, the integral handle further having a battery located inside the cavity.

12. A disk toy comprising:

a solid circular disk body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a downwardly extending perimeter rim; and

an integral handle extending downwardly from a center of the disk body having:

a proximal end integrally coupled to the lower surface of the disk body; and

a distal end having a larger width than the proximal end.
