  • Patent number: 4207702
    Abstract: A saucer-shaped toy having a generally planar central portion, a relatively thick, downwardly depending rim and a mid-portion having a textured outer surface containing a series of spaced apart portholes or windows extending between the rim and central portion. A diametrically positioned, cylindrical cradle formed in the central portion is adapted to receive a chemical light-stick, and the light-stick is releasably secured in place by resilient retaining fingers. In use, illumination from the light-stick propagates through the toy to cause the toy to dramatically simulate fictionalized flying saucers and allows the toy to be used in low light conditions.
