Abstract A gyro-aerodynamic saucer shaped throwing or projecting implement. Consisting of a single or plurality of inter boundary rings projecting down from relative flat plateau upper outer surfaces, said rings may be accompanyed by raised dimples which make for more comfortable hand grip, and better control of the saucer as it is thrown with a wrist snaping action. Said rings also exert a controlled drag on the upper surface of the saucer to help prevent rolloff or rollover. Also consisting of an outer ring with a flatter cone-shaped lower foresurface to act as lift, simular to flaps on an aircraft, which also tends to prevent rollover, yet cause a more stable flight with a much thinner overall thickness of the saucer, thereby reducing the overall aerodynamic drag during flight. Saucer also having an optional hole in the center with downward projecting cone center shaped center section, for either catching it on the finger of the player, or used in games where stakes are used, thus throwing the saucer on the stake through the hole. Said cone may also have downward projecting hooks on its lower surface and be shot and whirled into flight with an elastic member. Saucer may contain a lower projecting ridge on the under surface of the plateau''s upper surface of the larger saucers. Said ridges may also be accompanied with raised dimples adjacent to them, being there to hook the finger tips of the thrower, for a more comfortable grip, and more controled flight while being thrown.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
An aerodynamically stable toy adapted to be hand-thrown and comprising inner and outer concentric integral flat center sections which are joined by a perpendicular section adapted to stabilize the toy against in-flight rollover, and a downwardly projecting rim perpendicular to said outer section and formed integrally with said outer section, said rim terminating in an inwardly tapering cross section portion which develops a conical section effecting in-flight lifting action.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
An aerodynamically stable toy adapted to be hand-thrown and comprising inner and outer concentric integral flat center sections which are joined by a perpendicular section adapted to stabilize the toy against in-flight rollover, and a downwardly projecting rim perpendicular to said outer section and formed integrally with said outer section, said rim terminating in an inwardly tapering cross section portion which develops a conical section effecting in-flight lifting action.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The toy in accordance with claim 1 wherein the inner section includes an apertured conical section whereby the toy can be caught.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The toy in accordance with claim 1 wherein said inner section includes a conical portion, said conical portion including a hook to launch the toy and resilient means for attaching said hook and for effecting toy-launch.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The toy in accordance with claim 1 wherein dimples, and an inner subsurface ridge are formed in said inner section to receive the fingertips of the thrower.
