ABSTRACT:
A piece throwable toy is disclosed that combines the features of a disk-shaped flying toy with the features of a ball or rounded toy. Specifically, the toy comprises a disk-shaped portion circumscribed by a rim, with the rim having a topside lying in a first plane and a bottom side lying in a second plane that is substantially parallel to the first plane. The ball-like feature of the toy is provided by a pair of like-shaped convexities that protrude from the first and second planes in an opposing fashion and that join the disk-shaped portion. Each of the convexities is concentric to the circular rim of the toy. The resulting toy has the appearance of a "flying saucer" and may be thrown like a Frisbee.TM. or kicked like a ball, thereby offering a unique play experience.
