Abstract

A disc spinning device centrally located/secured to a flexible soft flying disc encouraging/facilitating spinning a disc on one's finger for technique/amusement. Spinning a disc on one's finger is difficult however the device has recessed dimple(s) to place one's finger(s), greatly improving disc spin with less friction than surrounding flexible soft flyer disc material. A fingernail may damage desired flexible soft disc material, utilizing more durable material in disc spinning device reduces wear and improved disc spinning capabilities with less friction. The disc spinning device located around central disc axis area offers more safety features than previous relatively hard plastic flying discs by allowing the softer flexible molded disc preferred material composite to compress when being hit by or catching of disc. The disc spinning device offers faster and easier/unique disc spins giving user more advanced disc spin(s) for technique/easier disc spin play.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An aerodynamic toy for throwing and device to assist in spinning of the disc on a finger tip comprising, in combination, a body molded of a soft, flexible, homogeneous, thermoplastic, resilient, foam material having a peripheral edge generally circular outer perimeter defining a disc; and 
 a recessed lower surface creating a rim throughout said central lower region adjacent said peripheral edge defining a rim; and    the disc spinning device centrally located containing a bottom or top recessed dimple area extending about said central axis to facilitate faster spinning of disc and improved durability.    
   
   
       2 . In an aerodynamic toy as in  claim 1  wherein said disc spinning device centrally located containing both a bottom and top recessed dimple area extending about said central axis to facilitate simultaneous spinning of disc to obtain gyroscopic disc effects when both finger tip placements are done simultaneously.  
   
   
       3 . An aerodynamic toy for throwing and device to assist in spinning of the disc on a finger tip comprising, in combination, a body molded of plastic, resilient, material having a peripheral edge generally circular outer perimeter defining a disc; and a recessed lower surface creating a rim throughout said central lower region adjacent said peripheral edge defining a rim; and centrally located bottom and top recessed dimple area extending about said central axis to facilitate simultaneous spinning of disc to obtain gyroscopic disc effects when both finger tip placements are done simultaneously.  
   
   
       4 . In an aerodynamic toy as in  claim 3  wherein said aerodynamic toy has a peripheral edge of softer flexible disc material for better cushion impact while catching.  
   
   
       5 . In an aerodynamic toy as in  claim 3  wherein said aerodynamic toy has a softer flexible disc material on bottom surface area of disc for improved cushion impact while tipping/tapping of the disc.
