Spinning Disk Game

Abstract

A disk game featuring a spinning disk for balancing on a rod or for tossing between players or for fetching by an animal is provided. The game features a disk configured with a circular recess configured to balance on the rod when spinning. The disk also includes an annular wall angled to improve balance and provide lift when tossed in a linear trajectory by users. Light and sound emitters can also be included which can be activated by rotational speed of the disk while spinning.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A disk game featuring a spinning disk for balancing or tossing, comprising:
 a disk having a first surface opposite a second surface converging at a circumferential edge of said disk;   a frustoconical configuration circular recess depending into said first surface to a focal point of said recess;   said first surface having a lowered central portion surrounded by an annular wall portion of said disk extending at a downward angle from said central portion of said disk, to said circumferential edge of said disk;   an annular sidewall in an engagement with said first surface at a position surrounding said circular recess, said sidewall extending a distance to a distal edge;   said distal end of said sidewall forming a contact surface for support of said disk adapted for positioning on a support surface; and   a gap formed between said circumferential edge and said support surface during positioning of said distal end of said sidewall upon a said support surface.   
     
     
         2 . The disk game of  claim 1 , wherein said sidewall angles toward a center of said disk from said engagement with said first surface. 
     
     
         3 . The disk game of  claim 1 , wherein said sidewall has a diameter sized between 30 to 70 percent of a diameter of said circumferential edge. 
     
     
         4 . The disk game of  claim 2 , wherein said sidewall has a diameter sized between 30 to 70 percent of a diameter of said circumferential edge. 
     
     
         5 . The disk game of  claim 1 , wherein said sidewall has a diameter sized between 45 to 55 percent of a diameter of said circumferential edge. 
     
     
         6 . The disk game of  claim 2 , wherein said sidewall has a diameter sized between 30 to 70 percent of a diameter of said circumferential edge. 
     
     
         7 . The disk game of  claim 1 , additionally comprising:
 at least one light emitter positioned on said disk;   an electric power source; and   a switch, said switch activated by rotation of said disk to connect said electric power source to said light emitter.   
     
     
         8 . The disk game of  claim 2 , additionally comprising:
 at least one light emitter positioned on said disk;   an electric power source; and   a switch, said switch activated by rotation of said disk to connect said electric power source to said light emitter.   
     
     
         9 . The disk game of  claim 5 , additionally comprising:
 at least one light emitter positioned on said disk;   an electric power source; and   a switch, said switch activated by rotation of said disk to connect said electric power source to said light emitter.   
     
     
         10 . The disk game of  claim 6 , additionally comprising:
 at least one light emitter positioned on said disk;   an electric power source; and   a switch, said switch activated by rotation of said disk to connect said electric power source to said light emitter.   
     
     
         11 . The disk game of  claim 1 , additionally comprising:
 at least one sound emitter positioned on said disk;   an electric power source; and   a switch, said switch activated by rotation of said disk to connect said electric power source to said energize said sound emitter to emit sound.   
     
     
         12 . The disk game of  claim 7 , additionally comprising:
 at least one sound emitter positioned on said disk;   an electric power source; and   a switch, said switch activated by rotation of said disk to connect said electric power source to said energize said sound emitter to emit sound.   
     
     
         13 . The disk game of  claim 8 , additionally comprising:
 at least one sound emitter positioned on said disk;   an electric power source; and   a switch, said switch activated by rotation of said disk to connect said electric power source to said energize said sound emitter to emit sound.   
     
     
         14 . The disk game of  claim 7  wherein said light emitter, said electric power source, and said switch, are engaged with a housing; and
 cooperative connectors positioned on said disk and said housing; 
 said cooperative connectors removably engageable to connect said housing to said disk. 
 
     
     
         15 . The disk game of  claim 11  wherein said light emitter, said electric power source, said sound emitter, and said switch, are engaged with a housing; and
 cooperative connectors positioned on said disk and said housing; 
 said cooperative connectors removably engageable to connect said housing to said disk. 
 
     
     
         16 . The disk game of  claim 12  wherein said light emitter, said electric power source, said sound emitter, and said switch, are engaged with a housing; and
 cooperative connectors positioned on said disk and said housing; 
 said cooperative connectors removably engageable to connect said housing to said disk. 
 
     
     
         17 . The disk game of  claim 1  additionally including a rod having a distal end configured to engage said focal point of said recess and support said disk while spinning thereon.
