Sound-emitting toy flying saucer

Abstract

Abstract An improvement relating to a toy flying saucer having a double skinned body defining lower and upper wall portions joined proximate the rim of the toy flying saucer body. The upper and lower walls, in one embodiment, are normally urged in close proximity and may be manually separated so as to form a variable volume air chamber therebetween. An orifice in one of the walls is provided with a noise-making element such as a whistle or a siren. Prior to launching the flying saucer, the upper and lower walls are manually separated so as to fill the chamber therebetween with air which is allowed to escape during flight through the orifice provided with a noise emitting element. Alternatively, the double skinned body is constructed such that the upper and lower walls are normally urged away from each other such as to form an air chamber therebetween which can be manually collapsed prior to launching of the toy flying saucer. Air entering the chamber passes through the noise emitting element inserted in an orifice in one of the walls. The improvement of the invention consists in at least one biasing element disposed between the upper and lower walls in the air chamber which normally urges the walls away from each other such as to expand the air chamber, or towards each other such as to collapse the air chamber. The biasing element greatly improves the functioning of the variable capacity air chamber, and renders the sound-emitting toy flying saucer foolproof in operation.
