  • Patent number: 12343655
    Abstract: Described herein are novel technologies that improve various aspects of flying discs. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a disc having a bottom structure and an upstanding edge included with and circumscribing the bottom structure to form a recess. And, the apparatus also includes an inner central structure underneath the bottom structure at a central portion of the disc. The apparatus or at least part of the apparatus can be plastic or foam and can include rubber components that make it easier to grip. The apparatus can include a thumb ring underneath the bottom structure and within the inner central structure. And, for example, the thumb ring can include rubber to make the apparatus easier to grip.

  • Publication number: 20040166764
    Abstract: A flexible soft flying disc toy that is molded and having a recessed and/or raised and recessed centrally located region on the center bottom of the disc to encourage and facilitate the spinning of the disc on one's finger and give the illusion of being a professional type player in technique for amusement. The general nature of the spinning of the disc on one's finger in a flexible soft flying disc has the potential to wear into the disc material and having a raised center bottom allows for increased thickness in the disc in that area to improve firmness and durability with this function. The flexible soft flying foam material offers the users more safety features than previous relatively hard plastic flying disc type products by now allowing the molded material composite to compress when being hit by the disc or when used for catching of the disc. The compression allows the disc to conform more to the hand allowing for the disc to be caught easier and without the fear of being hurt.
