Abstract
Abstract A saucer shaped throwing toy adapted to mount a self-contained chemi-luminescent light source thereto. The saucer includes a pair of dual-arm gripping members on the concave side thereof for mounting the light source therein. The central light source is nested on the toy in a central position which does not disturb the balance or aerodynamics of the toy. The light source illuminates the toy, without generating heat, such that playing time during which the toy can be utilized is expanded into the night-time hours.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
An illuminated aerodynamic toy comprising in combination: a circular disc made of a moldable plastic material including a generally flat circular central portion having two opposing sides thereto; an annular rim surrounding said central portion and integrally formed therewith, said rim extending symmetrically outwardly of the plane of said central portion, said central portion and rim including a convex surface on one side of said central portion and defining an outer side of said disc, and a concave surface on the opposing side of said central portion and defining an inner side of said disc; a pair of bifurcated members extending from said inner side of said disc and positioned in equally spaced relation to an axis thereof extending perpendicularly to the plane of said central portion; and a self-contained device for providing chemiluminescent light and adapted for fastening to said pair of bifurcated members, said device having an outer flexible, cylindrical, light transmitting container for one reactive composition, and an inner rigid, brittle container for another reactive composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
169 words
An illuminated aerodynamic toy comprising in combination: a circular disc made of a moldable plastic material including a generally flat circular central portion having two opposing sides thereto; an annular rim surrounding said central portion and integrally formed therewith, said rim extending symmetrically outwardly of the plane of said central portion, said central portion and rim including a convex surface on one side of said central portion and defining an outer side of said disc, and a concave surface on the opposing side of said central portion and defining an inner side of said disc; a pair of bifurcated members extending from said inner side of said disc and positioned in equally spaced relation to an axis thereof extending perpendicularly to the plane of said central portion; and a self-contained device for providing chemiluminescent light and adapted for fastening to said pair of bifurcated members, said device having an outer flexible, cylindrical, light transmitting container for one reactive composition, and an inner rigid, brittle container for another reactive composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The combination called for in claim 1 wherein said self-contained device is balanced as said device is rotated around said axis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
The combination called for in claim 2 wherein said outer container of said self-contained device includes a pair of radially expanded opposed ends, and the length of said cylindrical container between said expanded opposed ends is greater than the spatial distance between said pair of bifurcated members and coacts therewith to properly position said device at a balanced position on said disc.
