Patent Images
1. An illuminated flying disk, comprising:
- a disk shaped body of a shape to provide lift when tossed;
at least one light emitter mounted in said disk shaped body;
at least one battery to provide power to said at least one light emitter;
a control circuit electrically connecting to said at least one light emitter and said at least one battery; and
a housing mounted on said disk shaped body and enclosing said control circuit and said at least one battery, said housing forming a switch movable between a first position and a second position to selectively complete said control circuit to supply power to said at least one light emitter,wherein said housing is of a cylindrical shape having a first portion rotatably mounted relative to a second portions aid first portion carrying a movable electrical contact, said movable contact being in contact with a terminal of said at least one battery when said first portion of said housing is in said first position and being free of contact with said terminal of said at least one battery when said first portion of said housing is in said second position.

Abstract
An illuminated flying disk includes a plurality of light emitters mounted in a flying disk toy as well as a control circuit mounted in a centrally disposed circuit housing on the underside of the disk. A cap for the control circuit housing is rotatable to provide a simple yet rugged switch for selectively supplying power to the light emitters.

10. An illuminated flying disk, comprising:
-
a disk shaped body of a resilient material having a convex upper side and a concave lower side, said disk shaped body having a plurality of first recesses formed in a perimeter edge and a plurality of second recesses formed in said convex upper side intermediate a center of said disk shaped body and said perimeter; a cup shaped receptacle formed on said concave underside of said disk shaped body; channels formed on said concave underside of said disk shaped body extending from said cup shaped receptacle to said first and second recesses; a corresponding plurality of light emitters mounted in said first and second recesses; a control circuit mounted in said cup shaped receptacle and having electrical wiring connected between said control circuit and said plurality of light emitters, said control circuit including a plurality of battery contacts; a plurality of batteries mounted in said cup shaped receptacle in contact with respective ones of said battery contacts; a switch mounted over said cup shaped receptacle, said switch including; a cup shaped cap mounted for rotation over said cup shaped receptacle, a resilient member of non-conductive material mounted in said cup shaped cap, a predetermined area of electrically conductive material formed on said resilient member for selective contact with a terminal of at least one of said batteries, detent means between said cup shaped cap and said disk shaped body for indicating a first rotation position of said cup shaped cap relative to said body wherein said area of electrically conductive material is in contact with said terminal of said at least one battery to complete said electrical circuit and for indicating a second rotation position of said cup shaped cap relative to said body wherein said area of electrical conductive material is free of contact with said terminal of said at least one battery to open said electrical circuit. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
