Hipp skip

Abstract

Accordingly, the objects and advantages of the flexible skipping disc are: (a) The external surface is soft and flexible, creating a low impact when struck. (b) The rubber weight used for momentum flexes upon impact displacing its energy and is concealed between two pieces of soft foam. (c) The aerodynamic shape allows for lift on the leading edge of the disc reducing drag and dramatically increasing it's range. (d) Closed cell foam inhibits absorption of water. (e) The closed cell foam of the Hipp Skip lets it float for easy recovery.

1 . FIGS. 1A and 1B are two pound close cell foam, this is unique in it's role for this invention to work: 
 Close-celled foam stops absorption of water.    Close-celled foam allows the toy to float, providing easy user recovery for game continuation.    Smooth texture surface of the disc reduces drag, increasing range when thrown (IE skipped) across the surface of the water.    Flexible composition allows for its energy to be displaced upon impact, therefore, greatly reducing personal injury.    
     
     
         2 . Soft foam alone is not heavy enough for a disc to skip across the surface of the water which is why, as FIG. 2 depicts, rubber in the shape of a disc is included in the design for the momentum needed to propel the disc across the surface of the water. Most importantly it remains flexible upon impact for safety.  
     
     
         3 . FIG. 3 depicts that the rigid rubber is completely encased in the center of the soft foam, this is for safety, leaving only a soft flexible disc shaped toy.  
     
     
         4 . FIG. 5 depicts the tapered edges, which allow for the lift of the leading edge when the disc is skipped across the surface of the water.
