Abstract

A disk shaped flight toy which is illuminated for night flying. An included dome, with the rest of the toy, simulates artists'"'"''"'"' conceptions of flying saucers. The dome encases suitable light means that can be selectively activated so that the object can be illuminated as desired for night flying, retrieval, and so forth. Rays from the central light object of the toy are deflected outwardly and radially so illuminate either the material of the toy itself, internally, or to reflect light from one or both opposite surfaces thereof.

Claims

1. A hand-throwable, inverted-saucer configured flight object including, in combination, a downwardly concave member having an underside, and light means affixed to said downwardly concave member for illuminating the same, wherein said flight object includes a dome encasing said light means, said dome having interior light reflecting means for reflecting light emanating from said light means radially outwardly, and wherein said light reflecting means is configured as an inverted cone the apex of which depends toward said light means.
