Toy disc and method

Abstract

A disc spinning device centrally located/secured to a flexible soft flying disc encouraging/facilitating spinning a disc on one's finger for technique/amusement. While spinning a disc on one's finger can be difficult, the disc spinning device has recessed dimple(s) to place one's finger(s), greatly improving disc spin with less friction than surrounding flexible soft flyer disc material. A fingernail may damage desired flexible soft disc material. Utilizing more durable material in the disc spinning device reduces wear and improved disc spinning capabilities with less friction. The disc spinning device located around central disc axis area offers more safety features than previous relatively hard plastic flying discs by allowing the softer flexible molded disc preferred material composite to compress when being hit by or catching of disc. The disc spinning device offers faster and easier/unique disc spins giving user more advanced disc spin(s) for technique/easier disc spin play.

1 . A toy disc comprising a bottom-flight structure having a central assembly and a thickness, and an upstanding edge integrally coupled to the bottom-flight structure and having a thickness greater than the thickness of the bottom-flight structure. 
   
   
       2 . The toy disc of  claim 1  wherein said central assembly comprises a first coupling member and a second coupling member, at least one of which has a recess for receiving the tip of a finger. 
   
   
       3 . The toy disc of  claim 1  wherein said central assembly comprises a body having a pair of spaced end flanges and an intermediate flange. 
   
   
       4 . The toy disc of  claim 3  wherein at least one of said spaced end flanges has a recess for receiving the tip of a finger. 
   
   
       5 . The toy disc of  claim 2  wherein said first coupling member comprises a first support member and at least one arcuate wall. 
   
   
       6 . The toy disc of  claim 2  wherein said second coupling member comprises a second support member and at least one pair of spaced arcuate walls. 
   
   
       7 . The toy disc of  claim 5  wherein said second coupling member comprises a second support member and at least one pair of spaced arcuate walls, said arcuate wall of said first coupling member mates with said spaced arcuate walls of said second coupling member. 
   
   
       8 . A method for spinning a toy disc comprising providing a toy disc comprising a bottom-flight structure having a central assembly which includes at least one recess, and spinning the toy disc on a finger tip. 
   
   
       9 . A method for spinning a toy disc comprising providing a toy disc comprising a bottom-flight structure having a central assembly which includes a first recess on one side and a second recess on the other side, disposing a finger in the first and second recess, and spinning the toy disc on both finger tips.
