Benefits of technology

"The present invention is an improvement on a flying saucer to make it more challenging and interesting for players. The flying saucer has a soft and hollow main body with a soft shape-maintaining ring and many pellet-shaped loads inside. When it flies, the loads will gather near the edge of the main body due to centrifugal force, which causes the gravity center of the flying saucer to shift constantly. This results in an unpredictable flying path and makes the game more challenging. Additionally, the flying saucer is soft, so it doesn't cause pain or injury to the catcher's hand."

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the flying path of the flying saucer is changeable, the landing position more difficult to predict, and the game is more challenging.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a first preferred embodiment of a flying saucer 1 of the invention includes a main body 11, a shape-maintaining ring 12, and many pellet-shaped loads 13.

[0015] The main body 11 is made of soft materials such as non-woven fabrics, and it has a ring shape with a through hole 111 on a middle portion thereof. Furthermore, the main body 11 is hollow, having a holding room therein. The shape-maintaining ring 12 is soft, and it is positioned around and joined to an outward edge of the main body 11 for maintaining the shape of the main body 11. The pellet-shaped loads 13 are held in the holding room of the main body 11.

[0016] To play with the flying saucer 1, referring to FIG. 3, the user should hold the flying saucer 1 with one hand, and move the hand in a curved path to make the flying saucer 1 fly away; the flying saucer 1 will rotate when flying along. And, the pellet-shaped loads 13 will move close to one side of the flying saucer 1 owing to the cen...

Abstract

A flying saucer includes a soft and hollow main body, a soft shape-maintaining ring positioned around and joined to an outward edge of the main body for maintaining the shape of the main body, and many pellet-shaped loads held inside the main body; the flying saucer is flying, the pellet-shaped loads will gather near the outward edge of the main body owing to centrifugal force, and the gravity center of the flying saucer will shift constantly; consequently, the flying path of the flying saucer is changeable, and the landing position more difficult to predict; in addition, the flying saucer won't cause pain or injury to the catcher's hand because the main body and the shape-maintaining ring are made of soft materials.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a flying saucer, more particularly one, which is more interesting and safer to play with. [0003] 2. Brief Description of the Prior Art [0004] Conventional flying saucers are made of plastic materials, and in single part by means of injection molding therefore their gravity centers are fixed, and they will fly along a straight path after thrown into the air. Such conventional flying saucers have the following disadvantages: Although the flying saucers are made of hard plastic, the edges thereof are prone to become hairy owing to rubbing of the flying saucers against the ground and other hard objects. Consequently, the flying saucers will cause injury to the throwers' and the catchers' hands owing to the hairy edges. Second, because the flying saucers are relative hard, they can cause pain to the catchers' hands. And, if the flying saucers hit people's eyes, they will cause serious inj...
