Gyrating flying disc

Abstract

A gyrating disc is disclosed having a circular and flat shape with an edge extending perpendicularly around its circumference. The gyrating disc has a weight on the interior or exterior of the edge, or between the center and the edge. When the gyrating disc is launched in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner, the disc achieves a gyrating flight, moving on its horizontal plane and stable at the vertical axis established in the center of the disc.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A gyrating disc, comprising:
 a substantially circular disc having a center and an edge, the edge further comprising a weighted portion with a weight and wherein when the disc is launched with a counterclockwise or clockwise spin, the gyrating disc will gyrate on a horizontal plane, a vertical axis being in a center of the disc, the vertical axis remaining stable during flight.   
     
     
         2 . The gyrating disc of  claim 1 , wherein the weight comprises between 16.5 and 21% of the total weight of the gyrating disc. 
     
     
         3 . The gyrating disc of  claim 1 , wherein the weighted portion is between 8-20% of the circumference of the disc at the edge. 
     
     
         4 . The gyrating disc of  claim 3 , wherein the weighted portion is 16% of the circumference of the disc at the edge. 
     
     
         5 . The gyrating disc of  claim 1 , wherein the disc is substantially uniform in thickness from the center to the edge. 
     
     
         6 . The gyrating disc of  claim 1 , wherein the edge is a curved lip that is substantially perpendicular to the center of the disc, and extending between 0.5 and 1.5 inches. 
     
     
         7 . The gyrating disc of  claim 6 , wherein the edge extends approximately 1 inch. 
     
     
         8 . A gyrating disc, comprising:
 a circular and flat center with an edge, the edge being curved and substantially perpendicular to the center; and a weight, the weight located on an interior portion of the edge, the weight comprising between 16.5 and 21 percent of a total weight of the gyrating disc, and wherein the weight is distributed around 8-20% of an inner circumference of the disc, wherein when the disc is launched with a counterclockwise or clockwise spin, the gyrating disc will gyrate on a horizontal plane, a vertical axis being in a center of the disc, and the vertical axis remaining stable during flight.   
     
     
         9 . The gyrating disc of  claim 7 , wherein the weight comprises 20% of the total weight of the gyrating disc. 
     
     
         10 . The gyrating disc of  claim 7 , wherein the inner portion of the edge is 16% of the circumference of the disc at the edge. 
     
     
         11 . The gyrating disc of  claim 7 , wherein the disc is substantially uniform in thickness from the center to the edge. 
     
     
         12 . The gyrating disc of  claim 7 , wherein the edge is a curved lip that is substantially perpendicular to the circular and flat center, and extends between 0.5 and 1.5 inches. 
     
     
         13 . The gyrating disc of  claim 12 , wherein the edge extends approximately 1 inch. 
     
     
         14 . The gyrating disc of  claim 7 , wherein the gyrating disc is substantially rigid. 
     
     
         15 . A gyrating disc, comprising:
 a rigid circular and flat center with a rigid edge of uniform thickness, the edge being curved and substantially perpendicular to the center and extending between 0.5 and 1.5 inches; and a weight, the weight located on an interior side of the edge and comprising between 16.5 and 21 percent of the total weight of the gyrating disc, and wherein the weight is distributed around 8-20% of an inner circumference of the disc, wherein when the disc is launched with a counterclockwise or clockwise spin, the gyrating disc will gyrate on a horizontal plane, a vertical axis being in a center of the disc, and the vertical axis remaining stable during flight.   
     
     
         16 . The gyrating disc of  claim 15 , wherein the weight comprises 20% of the total weight of the gyrating disc. 
     
     
         17 . The gyrating disc of  claim 15 , wherein the weight is distributed around 16% of the circumference of the disc at the edge. 
     
     
         18 . The gyrating disc of  claim 15 , wherein the edge extends approximately 1 inch. 
     
     
         19 . The gyrating disc of  claim 15 , wherein the gyrating disc is made in one piece. 
     
     
         20 . The gyrating disc of  claim 15 , wherein the weight is an ergonomic shape to facilitate launch with the counterclockwise or clockwise spin.
