Illuminated flying disk having balanced housing for split circuitry
First Claim
1. An illuminated flying disk, comprising:
- a disk having a perimeter, said disk further having a top and a bottom;
a lip disposed on said perimeter, said lip having an inside and outside;
an electronic housing and a switch housing symmetrically opposed on said disk at said lip, said electronic housing in electrical communication with said switch housing;
at least one light emitter mounted on said disk; and
said light emitter illuminated by control circuitry having at least one battery disposed in said electronic housing and a switch disposed in said switch housing, said control circuitry further including a capacitor, at least one transistor and at least one resistor, said switch manipulated to cause illumination of said light emitter;
said battery with said electronic housing and said switch with said switch housing constructed to provide approximately equal mass to enable balanced spinning of said illuminated flying disk during spinning flight.

Abstract
A flying disc with two lights located on or near the disk'"'"'s perimeter, with two symmetrically opposed housings on the underside of the disk near the disk'"'"'s outmost edge. The two housings store the batteries and the electrical components for illuminating the disk. The housings are placed on opposite sides of the disk, so that the bulk of the disk'"'"'s weight is on the disk'"'"'s outside edge. Aerodynamic stability in a flying disk is optimum when the bulk of the disk'"'"'s weight is distributed on it'"'"'s outside edge. Thus, the present invention has greater stability when set in rotational motion than existing disks which house electronic components and batteries in the center.
