Recreational flying disk apparatus for enhanced flight enabling and traversing land and water surfaces
First Claim
1. A recreational flying disk comprising a top surface and a bottom surface;
- a fastener comprising a head and a threaded shank with a free end;
a threaded nut;
an auxiliary threaded nut; and
a reservoir bladder with a threaded portion;
wherein the flying disc can be any new or old flying disk;
wherein the disk is provided with a hole at its center;
wherein the shank is inserted in the hole with the fastener head resting on the top surface of the disk;
wherein both the threaded nut and auxiliary nuts are threaded on the shank;
wherein the free end of the shank is threaded into the threaded portion of the bladder; and
wherein the threaded nut is positioned against the bottom surface of the disk and the auxiliary nut is threaded to rest against a top surface of the bladder.

Abstract
An accessory for affixmentation to a recreational flying disk is disclosed in the form of a separate apparatus that is readily compatible and adaptable to any flying disk that will greatly enhance the flight distance length and the other flight characteristics of that retrofitted disk because of the centrifugal power, ballast stabilization and lift capability that the disclosed invention apparatus transmutes to the said flying disk. The disclosed apparatus, in conjunction with it being the aforementioned aerodynamic catalyst that it becomes once it is affixed to the said thrown flying disk, also can transform the said disk into a flying disk that can skip across the surface of a body of water not unlike a flat stone used for centuries for the same results—that same body of water that would render an ordinary flying disk as immobile upon contact with it now can be considered as just another obstacle to cross just as easily as flying aerially. The many variations of embodiments that are possible and probable are capable of being manufactured in an inexpensive method or manner such as by plastic molding or injection in and as a lightweight composite, which is a proven material both in the durability and safety factorage in the art of recreational flying disks.
