Abstract
Boomerang Flying Disc is a flying disc that is designed to return to the player like a boomerang after it is thrown. A rudder on the Boomerang Flying Disc guides it to fly in a circular route.
Description
- When thrown, a flying disc flies forward and does not fly back like a boomerang. The present invented Boomerang Flying Disc will fly back like a boomerang.
- The momentum of a flying disc is straight forward. If a side momentum is added to a flying disc, then the direction of a flying disc will change to a diagonal direction to the right or left according to the direction of the added side momentum. This will make the flying disc fly a circular route and return toward the person who threw the flying disc. This side momentum can be created by a rudder that is attached onto flying disc with a certain device.

detail numeral 10 ofFIG. 1 is a Boomerang Flying Disc. Numeral 11 ofFIG. 2 is the bottom view of Boomerang Flying Disc 10. Numeral 12 ofFIG. 3 is the dissection view of Boomerang Flying Disc 10. Numeral 13 ofFIGS. 1 , 4 and 5 is a rudder. Numeral 14 ofFIG. 4 is a thumb screw. Numeral 15 ofFIGS. 1 , 3, 4 and 5 is body ofrudder 13. Numeral 16 ofFIGS. 1 , 3, 4 and 5 is angled side-wing ofrudder 13. Numeral 17 ofFIGS. 1 , 3, 4 and 5 is threaded head-nut ofrudder 13. Numeral 18 ofFIGS. 1 , 2, 3, 4 and 5 is threaded pin ofthumb screw 14. Numeral 19 ofFIGS. 2 , 3 and 4 is cap ofthumb screw 14. Numeral 20 of 2, 3, 4 and 5 is spring coil. Numeral 21 ofFIGS. 1 , 2, 3, 4 and 5 is dome-shaped plate of Boomerang Flying Disc 10. Numeral 22 ofFIGS. 2 , 3, 4 and 5 is central hole of dome-shaped plate 21 of Boomerang Flying Disc 10. The way to assemble a Boomerang Flying Disc 10 is as follows: First step is to insert threadedpin 18 ofthumb screw 14 intospring coil 20. The second step is to insert threadedpin 18 from thebottom 11 of Boomerang Flying Disc 10 into thecentral hole 22 of dome-shaped plate 21. The third step is to screw threadedpin 18 ofthumb screw 14 into threaded head-nut 17 ofrudder 13 to fastenrudder 13 onto doom-shaped plate 21.FIG. 5 demonstrates another way to assemble Boomerang Flying Disc 10. Insert threadedpin 18 ofthumb screw 14 from thebottom 11 of doomed-shaped plate 21 into thecentral hole 22 of doomed-shaped plate 21. Threadedpin 18 then passes throughspring coil 20 and screwed into threaded head-nut 17 ofrudder 13 to fastenrudder 13 into doomed-shaped plate 21. The tension ofspring coil 20 should be adjusted so that when Boomerang Flying Disc 10 is thrown and the doom-shaped plate 21 is spinning, the tension ofspring coil 20 keepsrudder 13 at the tail side of flying doom-shaped plate 21. The tension ofspring coil 19 can be adjusted byscrewing thumb screw 14 clockwise or counter clockwise. The mechanism of action of Boomerang Flying Disc 10 is that when there is a certain degree of friction between doom-shaped plate 21 andrudder 13, the force of the front oncoming wind will counterbalance the spinning force of doom-shaped plate 21 and blow the angled side-wing 16 ofrudder 13 to the tail side of flying doom-shaped plate 21 to guide doom-shaped plate 21 to fly in a circular route. If there is no friction betweenrudder 13 and doom-shaped plate 21, thenrudder 13 will not guide the flying route of doom-shaped plate 21. On the other hand if the tension ofspring coil 19 is toohigh rudder 13 will spin simultaneously with flying doom-shaped plate 21 at the same speed andrudder 13 will not guide the flying route of doom-shaped plate 21. Therefore the tension ofspring coil 19 should be adjusted to the amount that allows the front oncoming wind to blow angled side-wing 16 to the tail side of doom-shaped plate 21 while doom-shaped plate 21 is flying and spinning in order for angled side-wing 16 to guide flying doom-shaped plate 21 to fly a circular route. The tension ofspring coil 20 should be high for a strong player because the stronger player throws and spins Boomerang Flying Disc 10 with more force. The tension ofspring coil 14 should be low for a weak player because the weak player throws and spins Boomerang Flying Disc 10 with less force. The tension ofspring coil 20 should be high for a strong front oncoming wind and low for a weak front oncoming wind. Rudder 13 can be turned upside down to change the direction of angled side-wing 16 in order to change the direction of the circular flight route. A player of Boomerang Flying Disc 10 has to practice to master the skill to play Boomerang Flying Disc 10 just like a boomerang player has to practice to throw a boomerang to become an expert boomer player. An alternative tospring coil 20 is a U-shaped spring plate which is fenestrated to allow passage of threadedpin 18. The fenestration can be a hole on each side of the spring plate or in the center of the spring plate.
