Interlocking Flying Discs with Optional Spacer Ring

Abstract

The present disclosure deals generally with flying discs, often referred to as “Frisbees,” more particularly, interlocking flying discs of various shapes that may be temporarily affixed together along their open bottom cavities to form a portable, substantially waterproof storage container. One or more spacer rings may be interposed between the two flying discs before they are interlocked to provide an expanded volume storage container.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Interlocking flying discs with an optional spacer ring comprising:
 a) a first interlocking flying disc comprising a circular body with a generally dished shape wherein the outward facing aspect of the lower circumferential periphery of said first interlocking flying disc has an outwardly protruding continuous locking lip;   b) a second interlocking flying disc comprising a circular body with a generally dished shape wherein the inward facing aspect of the lower circumferential periphery of said second interlocking flying disc has an inwardly protruding continuous locking lip;   c) wherein said first interlocking flying disc and said second interlocking flying disc are configured such that said locking lip of said first interlocking flying disc may be inserted through said locking lip of said second interlocking flying disc thus securing said first interlocking flying disc and said second interlocking flying disc together and forming a closed storage space between them.   
     
     
         2 . Interlocking flying discs with an optional spacer ring of  claim 1  such that when said first interlocking flying disc and said second interlocking flying disc are locked together to form a closed storage space said first interlocking flying disc and said second interlocking flying disc may be separated by pulling them apart. 
     
     
         3 . Interlocking flying discs with an optional spacer ring of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a) a spacer ring generally cylindrical in shape with an open top and bottom wherein:
 i. the inward facing aspect of the upper circumferential periphery of the spacer ring further comprises an inwardly protruding continuous locking lip; and 
 ii. the outward facing aspect of the lower circumferential periphery of the spacer ring further comprises an outwardly protruding continuous locking lip; 
 
 b) wherein said outwardly protruding concentric continuous locking lip of said first interlocking flying disc may be inserted through said inwardly protruding continuous locking lip of said spacer ring thus securing said first interlocking flying disc and said spacer ring together and forming a partially closed storage space; and, 
 c) wherein said outwardly protruding concentric continuous locking lip of said spacer ring may be inserted through said inwardly protruding continuous locking lip of said second interlocking flying disc thus securing said spacer ring to said second interlocking flying disc and forming a closed storage space. 
 
     
     
         4 . Interlocking flying discs with an optional spacer ring of  claim 3  such that said spacer ring is rigid. 
     
     
         5 . Interlocking flying discs with an optional spacer ring of  claim 3  such that said spacer ring is collapsible. 
     
     
         6 . Interlocking flying discs with an optional spacer ring of  claim 5  such that said spacer ring is constructed of fabric. 
     
     
         7 . Interlocking flying discs with an optional spacer ring of  claim 6  such that said spacer ring is constructed of nylon. 
     
     
         8 . A method of using interlocking flying discs with an optional spacer ring to store and retrieve personal effects comprising the steps of:
 a) placing personal effects in the cavity of said second interlocking flying disc;   b) inserting said outwardly protruding continuous locking lip of said first interlocking flying disc through said inwardly protruding locking lip of said second interlocking flying disc thus locking them together and forming a closed storage space containing said personal effects;   c) subsequently pulling said first interlocking flying disc and said second interlocking flying disc apart to unlock and separate them and allowing the retrieval of said personal effects.   
     
     
         9 . A method of using interlocking flying discs and with an optional spacer ring to store and retrieve personal effects comprising the steps of:
 a) placing personal effects in the cavity of said second interlocking flying disc;   b) inserting the said outwardly protruding continuous locking lip of said spacer ring through said inwardly protruding continuous locking lip of said second interlocking flying disc thus securing said spacer ring to said second interlocking flying disc and forming a partially closed storage space containing said personal effects;   c) inserting said outwardly protruding continuous locking lip of said first interlocking flying disc through said inwardly protruding continuous locking lip of said spacer ring thus securing said first interlocking flying disc and said spacer ring and forming a closed storage space containing said personal effects;   d) subsequently pulling said first interlocking flying disc and said spacer ring apart to unlock and separate them and allowing the retrieval of said personal effects.
