Abstract

A toy includes a generally disk-shaped body, a periphery of which includes a bottom which lies generally on a plane. The disk-shaped body further includes a series of protrusions on an undersurface of the disk, disposed radially inward of the periphery, which extend beyond the plane on which the periphery lies, such that the disk is supported by the protrusions when resting on a support surface, such as the ground, leaving the periphery elevated from the support surface.

Claims

1. A flying disk, comprising:

a generally disk-shaped body having a periphery; and

at least one projection which extends downward of the body beyond a plane generally coincident with a lower edge of the periphery such that when the body is received on a support surface, the lower edge of the periphery is elevated above the support surface and spaced apart therefrom.

2. A flying disk according to claim 1, wherein the at least one projection is formed so as to leave an opening or indentation above the projection having a size sufficient to allow a top mold half, during molded production with top and bottom mold halves being brought together and then released, to clear the opening or indentation and form a top surface of the at least one projection within the opening or indentation.

3. A flying disk according to claim 1, wherein the at least one projection includes multiple circumferentially spaced-apart protrusions.

4. A flying disk according to claim 1, wherein said generally disk-shaped body includes small openings for accommodating packaging loop fasteners or other mounting elements therethrough.

5. A flying disk according to claim 1, wherein said generally disk-shaped body is comprised of an elastomeric material.

6. A flying disk according to claim 3, wherein said multiple circumferentially spaced-apart protrusions are spaced radially inward of said periphery.
