  • Patent number: 5429359
    Abstract: An axial or centrifugal fan is motor mounted and the motor in turn is mounted within the central portion of a preferably low density or light weight annular or orientation free structure. Fan driven air is delivered downwardly through the central portion of the structure and is efficiently diffused underneath thereof. The air exits to atmosphere through an air bearing or a peripheral nozzle, both of which provide a strong stabilizing moment to the craft. The annular structure simulates a hockey puck to be used in a game similar to ice or field hockey. The Puck can be motivated from player to player and subsequently toward a goal by the players feet or by other desirable instruments. The preferred goal is comprised of a horizontal bar to encourage players to keep the toy on the playing surface. The puck is provided with a resilient outer periphery to prevent damage to itself and the playing environment.
