  • Patent number: 5149117
    Abstract: A saucer-shaped toy is designed to be utilized alternatively as a swing, a water slide and a snow slide. The saucer may be hung from a support when functioning as a swing, while it may be towed behind a boat when operable as a water slide. The saucer shape permits the toy to be used as a sled up on a snow covered surface, and removable runners can be employed to improve its steering capability over snow. When used as a water slide, a removable rudder can be used as well as water spray jets or enhanced aesthetic appeal. An upright steering pole can be attached to the saucer with a stiff spring so as to permit the pole to flexibly move to lessen the likelihood of injury to a user under certain situations.
