Abstract

A flying disc is disclosed that can be used in recreational activities. The flying disc includes a body having an aerodynamic design. A sound reproduction device housing is attached to the body. A sound reproduction device is positioned in the sound reproduction device housing that is configured to generate audible music via an audio transducer when the sound reproduction device is activated.

Claims

1. A flying disc, comprising:

a body having an aerodynamic design;

a sound reproduction device housing attached to said body; and

a sound reproduction device positioned in said sound reproduction device housing configured to generate audible music via an audio transducer when said sound reproduction device is activated.

2. The flying disc of claim 1, wherein said sound reproduction device includes a controller connected with a transceiver.

3. The flying disc of claim 2, wherein said controller is configured to utilize said transceiver to sync said controller in radio communication with an external device.

4. The flying disc of claim 3, wherein once synced with said external device said controller is operable to receive radio transmissions from said external device in the form of one or more music files, wherein the sound reproduction device is operable to convert said one or more music files into audible music played by said audio transducer.

5. The flying disc of claim 4, wherein said controller uses Bluetooth protocol to communicate with said external device.

6. The flying disc of claim 1, wherein said sound reproduction device includes a controller connected with a memory unit, wherein said memory unit includes one or more music files, wherein said controller is configured to play said one or more music files using said audio transducer.

7. The flying disc of claim 1, wherein said sound reproduction device includes a volume control.

8. The flying disc of claim 1, wherein said sound reproduction device includes a power source connected with a controller via a switch, where said power source comprises a rechargeable battery.

9. The flying disc of claim 1, wherein said sound reproduction device includes a controller connected with a transceiver, wherein said controller is operable to sync said controller with an external device using said transceiver such that said controller is in wireless communication with said external device, wherein said controller is configured to receive radio signals from said external device in the form of one or more audio files, wherein said controller is configured to play said one or more audio files using said speaker.

10. The flying disc of claim 9, wherein said controller is connected with a converter, wherein said converter is operable to convert a digital output signal from said controller to an analog output signal.

11. The flying disc of claim 10, wherein said converter is connected with an amplifier, wherein said analog output signal from said converter is directed to said amplifier, wherein said amplifier is configured to generate an amplified output signal, wherein said amplifier is connected with said audio transducer, wherein said amplified output signal is directed to said audio transducer.

12. The flying disc of claim 11, further comprising a volume control connected with said amplifier for controlling a volume associated with said audible music.

13. The flying disc of claim 1, further comprising a light source protruding from said sound reproduction device housing for generating a light when said flying disc is activated.

14. A flying disc, comprising:

a body having an aerodynamic design;

a sound reproduction device housing connected with said body;

a controller positioned in said housing;

a transceiver connected with said controller, wherein said transceiver is operable to sync said controller in wireless communication with an external media device;

an audio transducer connected with said controller;

a power source connected with said controller; and

wherein said controller is operable to receive audio content transmitted wirelessly by said external media device; and

wherein said controller is operable to play said audio content with said audio transducer.

15. The flying disc of claim 14, further comprising a switch electrically connected between said power source and said controller for allowing a user to turn the flying disc on and off.

16. The flying disc of claim 14, further comprising a input port electrically connected with said power source, wherein said power source comprises a rechargeable battery and said input port is used to recharge said power source.

17. The flying disc of claim 16, further comprising a memory unit associated with said controller, wherein said input port is connected with said controller, wherein said controller is configured to upload audio files via said input port to said memory unit.

18. The flying disc of claim 14, further comprising a light source connected between said switch and said controller, wherein when said flying disc is in an activated state said light source is operable to generate a light.

19. The flying disc of claim 14, wherein said flying reproductive disc housing includes a plurality of apertures for emitting sound generated by said audio transducer.
