Illuminated flying disk with three concentric rings of controllable lights
First Claim
1. An illuminated flying disk, comprising:
- a disk, circular in shape, having a center and a periphery, a top surface and a bottom surface;
a plurality of individual light bulbs located on the top surface of the disk, the individual light bulbs arranged in at least one ring concentric with the periphery, the individual lights are powered by batteries located in a battery housing unit associated with the disk, and with an on/off switch for selectively illuminating the light bulbs wherein the individual light bulbs are arranged in more than one concentric ring, and wherein each of said rings is separately illuminable.

Abstract
An illuminated flying disk with three concentric rings located on its upper surface, each ring made up of a plurality of independently addressable individual light bulbs which enables it to be seen even under low ambient lighting conditions. The bottom surface of the disk has a centrally located battery housing unit for holding the batteries and a control unit. Adjacent to the battery storage unit is an on/off switch and a mode selector which allows a choice of three settings for the light display system. The first setting provides for constant emission of light from all bulbs at all times. The second setting provides for a lighting effect which entails sequential lighting of adjacent individual bulbs located on each ring, thereby imparting an illusion of moving light around the ring. The third setting allows for alternate flashing between successive rings. By choosing one of the three settings, the user determines which visual effect to enable.

a) a first setting which when selected illuminates all individual bulbs at the same time;
b) a second setting which when selected illuminates adjacent individual bulbs of each ring sequentially, thereby imparting an illusion of motion of light around the ring; and
c) a third setting which when selected allows for alternate flashing between the rings of lights.
