Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flying disc which can be thrown as a flying body.
- an upper blowing device including rotary blades for pressure-feeding air in an axial flow direction and a lower blowing device including rotary blades for pressure-feeding the pressure-fed air from the upper blowing device in a centrifugal direction are arranged on a same axis so as to be rotated in directions reverse to each other.
- a turbofan of the upper blowing device press-feeds the air, taken in from the centrifugal direction, in the axial flow direction through a through hole
- a turbofan of the lower blowing device press-feeds the air, taken in through the through hole, in the centrifugal direction.
- the disc described in Patent Document 2 is one of ordinary flying discs which are not powered.
- the disc can fly while making various trails according to a direction of throwing, the initial speed, a rotating speed, and the attitude.
- To horizontally fly the flying disc the disc is thrown at a certain initial speed according to a desired flight distance and therefore the disc is flying at a relatively high speed when the disc is caught.
- the propeller flying device described in Patent Document 4 is formed so that two propellers generate upward and horizontal propulsion forces.
- the propeller flying device is not intended to be thrown back and forth between people unlike the flying disc and there seems to be no flying disc intended to be thrown and mounted with such a propeller flying device.
- a flying disc which can be thrown back and force between players as a flying body, which can fly certain distance even by an unskilled person, and which can descend slowly after speed of horizontal movement reduces so that it can be caught easily by the other person.
- a structure which can increase buoyancy, stabilize an attitude, and maintain a drive force by rotation of the airframe utilizing a reaction force caused by rotation of the propeller.
- the invention is intended to achieve all of, any selected one of, or a combination of some of the above-described objects.

- a flying disc thrown by a hand of a player comprises:
- a disc main body comprising an upper wall portion having an opening at a middle thereof and a curved face or an inclined face formed downwardly at an outer periphery of the upper wall portion; a propeller and a driving device for rotating the propeller which are disposed at a central portion of the opening; and a wing-shaped member for receiving a descending air current generated by rotation of the propeller and applying a rotative force to the disc main body in a direction reverse to the propeller.
- the flying disc Since the flying disc has buoyancy due to the rotation of the propeller, it has flight duration longer than prior-art flying disc when thrown at the same initial speed, and slowly descends when it loses speed in a horizontal direction and reaches a receiving player.
- the wing-shaped member applies the rotative force to the disc main body by way of the air current generated by the propeller to thereby maintain the rotation of the disc main body given by user when the disc is thrown.
- the rotation of the disc main body has gyro effect which is effective to stabilize attitude during the flight and increasing flying distance.
- a flying disc thrown by a hand of a player comprises:
- a disc main body comprising an upper wall portion having an opening at the middle thereof and a curved face or an inclined face formed downwardly at an outer periphery of the upper wall portion; a propeller and a driving device for rotating the propeller which are disposed at a central portion of the opening; and a wing-shaped member mounted at an angle different from the propeller so as to receive a descending air current generated by rotation of the propeller and apply rotative force to the disc main body.
- the wing-shaped member receiving the air current generated by the propeller applies the rotative force to the disc main body, which has an effect to maintain the rotation of the disc main body applied by the user when the disc is thrown.
- the rotation of the disc main body has a gyro effect which contributes to the stabilization of the attitude during the flight and the increase in the flying distance and is effective to maintain long flight duration of the disc main body and slowly descending the disc main body when the disc loses speed in the horizontal direction.
- a flying disc thrown by a hand of a player comprises:
- a disc main body comprising an upper wall portion having an opening at the middle thereof and a curved face or an inclined face formed downwardly at an outer periphery of the upper wall portion; a propeller and a driving device for rotating the propeller which are disposed at a central portion of the opening; and a wing-shaped member mounted at a different angle from the propeller so as to receive a descending air current generated by rotation of the propeller and apply a rotative force to the disc main body, wherein the driving device is supported by an arm provided near the center of the opening and the wing-shaped member is mounted to the arm.
- the flying disc has the similar operation and effects to the above-described flying discs.
- the structure can be simplified and reduced in weight.
- a flying disc thrown by a hand of a player includes:
- a disc main body including an upper wall portion having an opening at the middle thereof and a curved face or an inclined face formed downwardly at an outer periphery of the upper wall portion; a propeller and a driving device for rotating the propeller which are disposed at a central portion of the opening; and a wing-shaped member mounted at an angle different from the propeller so as to receive a descending air current generated by rotation of the propeller and apply a rotative force to the disc main body, wherein the driving device is supported by an arm provided near the center of the opening and the wing-shaped member is formed by shaping the arm.
- the flying disc has the similar operation and effects to the above-described flying discs.
- the arm for supporting the driving device By forming the arm for supporting the driving device into such a shape as to function as the wing, the structure is simplified and the flying disc is reduced in weight.
- a flying disc thrown by a hand of a player comprises:
- a disc main body comprising an upper wall portion having an opening at the middle thereof and a curved face or an inclined face formed downwardly at an outer periphery of the upper wall portion; a propeller and a driving device for rotating the propeller which are disposed at a central portion of the opening and supported by an arm provided near the center of the opening; and a wing-shaped member provided to the arm for receiving a descending air current generated by rotation of the propeller and applying a rotative force to the disc main body, wherein a protecting member for covering an outer periphery or an upper portion of the propeller is provided to an upper face of the disc main body.
- the flying disc has the similar operation and effects to the above-described flying discs.
- the protecting member By providing the protecting member, the propeller is prevented from coming in contact with the user. If the protecting member for preventing the propeller from coming in contact with the user is made of material which allows air to pass through, it reduces air resistance during the flight.
- a flying disc thrown by a hand of a player comprises: a disc main body comprising an upper wall portion having an opening at the middle thereof and a curved face or an inclined face formed downwardly at an outer periphery of the upper wall portion; and a propeller and a driving device for rotating the propeller which are disposed at a central portion of the opening, wherein a reaction force generated in a direction different from rotating direction of the propeller is transmitted to the disc main body.
- the flying disc has the similar operation and effects to the above-described flying discs and can use the reaction force of the rotation of the propeller as power for assisting the rotation of the disc main body. If the wing-shaped member is provided, it assists the reaction force of the propeller in continuing the rotation of the disc main body for a longer time.
- a flying disc thrown by a hand of a player comprises a switch or a sensor for rotating the propeller connected to the driving device.
- the switch or the sensor detects start of flight and automatically rotates the propeller.
- the flying disc is preferably lightweight and therefore cannot mount a high-capacity battery. Therefore, in order to suppress electric power consumption during time other than the flight, the switch or the sensor for controlling driving of the propeller is required. If a sensor for detecting start and end of the flight is used to automatically control start and stop of the driving of the propeller, it is possible to further prevent wasting of the electric power.
- a flying disc thrown by a hand of a player comprises a centrifugal switch which is energized as the disc main body rotates and rotates the propeller connected to the driving device, wherein the propeller is rotated by the rotation of the disc main body as a result of a flight and the rotation of the propeller is stopped by reduction in a rotating speed of or a stop of the rotation of the disc main body as a result of an end of the flight.
- the invention includes a switch for sensing the centrifugal force to close a circuit as a means of a sensor for detecting the start and the end of the flight.
- the flying disc Since the flying disc has buoyancy due to the rotation of the propeller, it has flight duration longer than a prior-art flying disc when thrown at the same initial speed and slowly descends when it reaches a receiving-side player. Moreover, because the start and the stop of the rotation of the propeller can be synchronized with the flight, it is possible to remove the burden of operating the switch, the electric power consumption can be reduced, and consumption of the battery can be suppressed.
- the flying disc according to the invention has the propeller and flies in the substantially horizontal direction while generating the buoyancy with the rotation of the propeller.
- the flying distance increases in proportion to the flight duration. Since the flying disc according to the invention has the propeller, the flight duration is long and the flying disc can fly farther than the flying disc without the propeller.
- the flying disc according to the invention flies at a certain height until the last stage of the flight and slowly descends as the speed of the horizontal movement reduces. Therefore, it is easy to catch the approaching flying disc.
- the rotation of the disc main body is essential for maintaining the flying attitude in the air.
- the reaction force due to the rotation of the propeller and the wing-shaped member receiving the air current help the disc main body to continue to rotate.
- the disc main body continues to rotate until the flying disc substantially loses speed and descends. Therefore, the flying disc can maintain the attitude until end of the flight.
