Aerodynamic flying disc with weighted insert

Claim 2

An aerodynamic flying disc comprising: a thin-walled annular rim containing central and perimeter portions, wherein the perimeter portion defines a central cavity situated within the central rim portion, in which upper and lower openings are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the perimeter portion of said annular rim curling downwardly to form a circumferential lip about the rim; and a rotatably removable insert, threadably engaged within the central cavity, comprising upper and lower circular surfaces whose diameters are slightly smaller than the corresponding openings of the central cavity, and which are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the height of which is substantially identical to the height of the central cavity, whereby the insert may be rotatably removed from the central cavity by rotating it about its axis thereby threadably disengaging it from said central cavity, and wherein the insert bears indicia, and wherein the circular sidewall of the insert comprises an inner surface along which runs a circumferential groove and within which is situated a removable circular plate, said plate having a chosen weight.

Claim 3

The insert of claim 1 wherein openings are provided on the surface of the insert thereby allowing air to rush through said openings during the flight of the aerodynamic flying disc whereby a whistling sound is created.

Claim 4

The insert of claim 1 wherein a substantially three (3) dimensional image is situated on the upper surface of the insert.

Claim 5

The insert of claim 1 wherein a substantially flat image is situated on the upper surface of the insert.

Claim 6

The insert of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said insert is constructed of a material impregnated with a fluorescent dye thereby permitting it to glow in the dark.

Claim 7

The insert of claim 1 wherein the surface of the insert is substantially conical.

Claim 8

The insert of claim 1 wherein gripping means are provided on the lower circular surface thereof.

Claim 9

The insert of claim 1 comprising a translucent material and wherein a light bulb powered by a battery is mounted by way of mounting means to the lower surface of the insert.

Claim 10

A thin-walled annular rim containing central and perimeter portions, wherein the perimeter portion defines a central cavity situated within the central rim portion, in which upper and lower openings are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the perimeter portion of said annular rim curling downwardly to form a circumferential lip about the rim; and a rotatably removable insert, threadably engaged within the central cavity, comprising upper and lower circular surfaces whose diameters are slightly smaller than the corresponding openings of the central cavity, and which are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the height of which is substantially identical to the height of the central cavity, whereby the insert may be rotatably removed from the central cavity by rotating it about its axis thereby threadably disengaging it from said central cavity, and wherein the insert bears indicia, and wherein the circular sidewall of the insert comprises an inner surface along which runs a circumferential groove and within which is situated a removable circular metal plate.

Claim 11

A thin-walled annular rim containing central and perimeter portions, wherein the perimeter portion defines a central cavity situated within the central rim portion, in which upper and lower openings are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the perimeter portion of said annular rim curling downwardly to form a circumferential lip about the rim; and a rotatably removable insert, threadably engaged within the central cavity, comprising upper and lower circular surfaces whose diameters are slightly smaller than the corresponding openings of the central cavity, and which are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the height of which is substantially identical to the height of the central cavity, whereby the insert may be rotatably removed from the central cavity by rotating it about its axis thereby threadably disengaging it from said central cavity, and wherein the insert bears indicia, and wherein the circular sidewall of the insert comprises an inner surface along which runs a circumferential groove and within which is situated a removable circular metal plate.

Claim 12

The insert of claim 9 wherein openings are provided on the surface of the insert thereby allowing air to rush through said openings during the flight of the aerodynamic flying disc whereby a whistling sound is created.

Claim 13

The insert of claim 9 wherein a substantially three (3) dimensional image is situated on the upper surface of the insert.

Claim 14

The insert of claim 9 wherein a substantially flat image is situated on the upper surface of the insert.

Claim 15

The insert of claim 9 wherein at least a portion of said insert is constructed of a material impregnated with a fluorescent dye thereby permitting it to glow in the dark.

Claim 16

The insert of claim 9 wherein the surface of the insert is substantially conical.

Claim 17

The insert of claim 9 wherein gripping means are provided on the lower circular surface thereof.

Claim 18

A thin-walled annular rim containing central and perimeter portions, wherein the perimeter portion defines a central cavity situated within the central rim portion, in which upper and lower openings are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the perimeter portion of said annular rim curling downwardly to form a circumferential lip about the rim; and a rotatably removable insert, threadably engaged within the central cavity, comprising upper and lower circular surfaces whose diameters are slightly smaller than the corresponding openings of the central cavity, and which are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the height of which is substantially identical to the height of the central cavity, whereby the insert may be rotatably removed from the central cavity by rotating it about its axis thereby threadably disengaging it from said central cavity, and wherein the insert bears indicia, and wherein the circular sidewall of the insert comprises an inner surface along which runs a circumferential groove and within which is situated a removable circular metal plate wherein the circular metal plate may be replaced with another circular metal plate of different weight whereby the flight path of the aerodynamic flying disc may be altered.

Claim 19

A thin-walled annular rim containing central and perimeter portions, wherein the perimeter portion defines a central cavity situated within the central rim portion, in which upper and lower openings are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the perimeter portion of said annular rim curling downwardly to form a circumferential lip about the rim; and a rotatably removable insert, threadably engaged within the central cavity, comprising upper and lower circular surfaces whose diameters are slightly smaller than the corresponding openings of the central cavity, and which are connected by a threaded circular sidewall, the height of which is substantially identical to the height of the central cavity, whereby the insert may be rotatably removed from the central cavity by rotating it about its axis thereby threadably disengaging it from said central cavity, and wherein the insert bears indicia, and wherein the circular sidewall of the insert comprises an inner surface along which runs a circumferential groove and within which is situated a removable circular metal plate wherein the circular metal plate may be replaced with another circular metal plate of different weight whereby the flight path of the aerodynamic flying disc may be altered.
