Both of centers of gravity of the elastic body and the
disk body 1 are located on a common axis of gravity of a combination of the disk body and the elastic body. After the toy is rotatably thrown, lift is generated by accelerating upper airflow due to the space disposed at the bottom of the disk body so that a pressure difference gives rise to a lifting force, thereby making the toy flying and spinning in the air. After the disk body lands, the part of the elastic body that protrudes beyond the bottom plane would hit the ground and bounce. - According to an embodiment, an outer surface of the elastic body may further include at least one projected portion extended from one end or two ends of a central axis of the elastic body. The projected portion may be an integral part with or a separated part from the elastic body When the flying disk body lands and the projected portion contacts with the ground, the projected portion become the rotating axis of the spinning elastic body.
- According to another embodiment, the elastic body is a spherical member or a member shaped in other geometric shape.

Thedisk body 1 is preferred to be a circular concave disk and has aspace 10 disposed in a bottom thereof. Thedisk body 1 includes atop surface 11 located on a top thereof and abottom plane 12 defined on the bottom thereof. An axial throughhole 13 is located at a center of thedisk body 1 and penetrates through thetop surface 11. According to the first embodiment, thethrough hole 13 is a circular hole. The throughhole 13 may also be shaped in other geometric shapes, such as a triangle, a rectangle, a pentagon and a hexagon. According to the first embodiment, thedisk body 1 is made by plastic injection molding to form the circular concave disk which is similar to a regular frisbee. - The
elastic body 2 may be shaped in a sphere or any other geometric form. According to the first embodiment, theelastic body 2 is a spherical member. The spherical elastic body is made of an elastic material, such as polyurethane (PU). Theelastic body 2 may be a solid member or a hollow member having aninner space 20. When theelastic body 2 is a hollow member, theelastic body 2 further includes avalve 23 disposed at a wall thereof. Thevalve 23 is adapted for communicate theinner space 20 with an exterior of theelastic body 2, such that a fluid (water, oil or air) may be injected into theinner space 20 to inflate theelastic body 2. - The
elastic body 2 is assembled in the throughhole 13 of thedisk body 1, such that a top end of theelastic body 2 protrudes out of thetop surface 11 and a bottom end of theelastic body 2 protrudes beyond thebottom plane 12.

When theelastic body 2 is a hollow member, theelastic body 2 is placed in the throughhole 13 and then theelastic body 2 is inflated by injecting air or liquid through thevalve 23 into theelastic body 2. Because theelastic body 2 is inflated, the periphery of the throughhole 13 is engaged with thecircumferential groove 22 by interference fit as shown inFIG. 5 . - A user may rotatably throw the toy capable of flying and bouncing according to the present invention in the air just like playing a regular frisbee. After the toy is tossed, lift is generated by accelerating upper airflow so that a pressure difference gives rise to a lifting force, thereby making the toy flying and spinning in the air. Because the bottom end of the
elastic body 2 protrudes beyond thebottom plane 12, theelastic body 2 would bounce on the ground and even spin like a spinning top after landing. When theelastic body 2 spins, theelastic body 2 drives thedisk body 1 to rotate simultaneously. - Referring to

An axial throughhole 13 is located at a center of thedisk body 1 and penetrates through thedisk body 1. The throughhole 13 of thedisk body 1 according to the third embodiment is a circular hole. The same as previous embodiments, the throughhole 13 may also be shaped in other geometric shapes. According to the third embodiment, thedisk body 1 is made by plastic injection molding to form the circular concave disk. - The
elastic body 2 may be shaped in a sphere or any other geometric form. According to the third embodiment, theelastic body 2 is a spherical member. The sphericalelastic body 2 is made of an elastic material, such as polyurethane (PU). Theelastic body 2 may be a solid member or a hollow member having aninner space 20 disposed therein. When theelastic body 2 is a hollow member, avalve 23 is further provided at a wall of theelastic body 2. Thevalve 23 is adapted for communicate theinner space 20 with the exterior of theelastic body 2, such that a fluid (water, oil or air) may be injected into theinner space 20 to inflate theelastic body 2. An outer surface of theelastic body 2 according to the third embodiment includes two projectedportion 21 extended outward from two end of the central axes thereof, or includes only one projectedportion 21 extended outward from one end of the central axes thereof. The projectedportion 21 may be made of an elastic material the same as that of theelastic body 2, and be integrally formed with theelastic body 2 by plastic injection molding.
