Abstract

A flying disk device has a substantially circular, thin-walled body having a dome structure providing curvature to provide lift as the body passes through air, and defining an interior volume, a latching structure joined to an inner wall of the body at a central location within the interior volume, and two or more flexible retainer clips joined to the latching structure in a spaced pattern to retain an article within the interior volume.

1 . A flying disk device, comprising:
 a substantially circular, thin-walled body having a dome structure providing curvature to provide lift as the body passes through air, and defining an interior volume;   a latching structure joined to an inner wall of the body at a central location within the interior volume; and   two or more flexible retainer clips joined to the latching structure in a spaced pattern to retain an article within the interior volume.   
     
     
         2 . The flying disk of  claim 1  wherein the pattern is a rectangular pattern and the spacing is to hold a CD case. 
     
     
         3 . The flying disk of  claim 1  wherein the pattern and spacing are to retain a thumb drive. 
     
     
         4 . The flying disk of  claim 1  wherein the pattern and spacing are to retain a book or pamphlet. 
     
     
         5 . The flying disk of  claim 1  further comprising a flexible bumper element around the periphery of the disk. 
     
     
         6 . The flying disk of  claim 1  wherein the thin-walled body and the latching structure are molded from a polymer material in a single molding operation. 
     
     
         7 . The flying disk of  claim 1  wherein the thin-walled body and the latching structure are separately manufactured, and the two are joined by adhesive material. 
     
     
         8 . A method for delivering an article to persons in an audience, comprising the steps of:
 (a) providing a latching structure having two or more flexible retainer clips spaced in a pattern to retain the article;   (b) joining the latching structure to an inner wall of a body of a flying disk defining an inner volume at a central location within the interior volume;   (c) inserting the article into the latching structure; and   (d) sailing the flying disk carrying the article over an audience.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the pattern is a rectangular pattern and the spacing is to hold a CD case. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the pattern and spacing are to retain a thumb drive. 
     
     
         11 . The flying disk of  claim 8  wherein the pattern and spacing are to retain a book or pamphlet. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8  further comprising a step for providing a flexible bumper element around the periphery of the disk. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the thin-walled body and the latching structure are molded from a polymer material in a single molding operation. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8  wherein the thin-walled body and the latching structure are separately manufactured, and the two are joined by adhesive material.
