Abstract

The golfrisbee emulates the human throwing process to launch the disk to fly. The golfrisbeer swivels the club to launch the golfrisbee to fly. The golfrisbee is launched to fly with the waist force to swivel the club at very high speed. With the high-speed swiveling club, the golfrisbee flies much farther and higher than the hand-throwing flying disk does. The complicated throwing process of human brain and hand cooperation mechanism is emulated with the simple screw mechanism. With the screw mechanism, we make the technology breakthrough in the swivel-to-launch technology. As the golfrisbeer swivels the club, the golfrisbee disk automatically rotates due to the eccentric force. As the club reaches the designated launching point, the golfrisbee automatically takes off and launches to fly in the sky. With the integrated multimedia device, the rainbow-like shining light and whistling harmonic sound make the golfrisbee much more fun to play with. Furthermore, reverse the club and upside down of the golfrisbee, the golfrisbee can be pushed to skid into the hole as the ice hockey does. Therefore, without any new special facility, the golfrisbee sport is the combination of the golf, flying disk, baseball, ice hockey, etc. Golfrisbee is a market-pull product and technology—the market is already there and no proper product. Therefore, the golfrisbee is proposed to be and will be the standard of the disk-golf sport.

Description

BACKGROUND
• 1. Field of Invention[0001]
• The golfrisbee sport is to swivel the golfrisbee club to increase the throwing distance and flying height of the golfrisbee disk. The inventors make the technology breakthrough in the swivel-to-launch techniques to make the dream of Golfrisbee become true. To differentiate from the hand-throwing “disk-golf” game, we call this new game to be golfrisbee. The player of disk-golf is disk-golfer. The player of golfrisbee is golfrisbeer. In the golfrisbee sport, the golfrisbeer swivels the golfrisbee club to launch the golfrisbee disk to fly. For convenience, the golfrisbee disk is simply referred as golfrisbee. The golfrisbee club is simply referred as club. The sport of golfrisbee is also mentioned as golfrisbee.[0002]
• Golfrisbee is the hybrid game combining the sports of golf, flying disk, baseball, and hockey together to be a new game. The player swivels the golfrisbee club as the golfer or baseball player does. The golfrisbee disk is launched to fly as the flying disk does. The golfrisbee game rule is the same as golf. The disk can also be pushed to skid as the hockey.[0003]
• Being similar to golf history, originally, human uses the hand to throw the stone. To increase the throwing distance, people swivel the long pole/club to hit the stone/golf ball. Today, the disk-golfer still uses the hand to throw the flying disk to fly. To increase the flying distance, people should swivel the pole to launch the flying disk to fly. However, due to the technology barrier of swiveling to launch, the dream of disk-golf never becomes true. Instead of launching the flying disk with the long pole, the disk-golfer still uses the hand to throw the flying disk. The throwing distance is short. The disk-golf is only adopted the form of golf. However, there is no reality of golf, i.e., swiveling pole to launch the object to fly for a long distance.[0004]
• The golfrisbee combines the merits of golf, baseball, and flying disk. Even much better, it is safer and more fun to play. The golf and baseball are dangerous sports that they need special places to play, i.e., the golf court or baseball field. As the golf ball or baseball hits on the head of people, it will kill people. So, the dangerous golf sport is forbidden to play in the public park. However, you can play the flying disk in the park. The high fly disk is not dangerous. The flying disk drifts smoothly with soft-landing. It will not hurt anybody. You cannot see the golf ball as the golf ball flies high in the sky. However, for the golfrisbee player, you will enjoy seeing the flying disk drifting in the sky.[0005]
• Furthermore, the golfrisbee player no more throws and catches the golfrisbee disk with hand. Therefore, it is safe to add the advanced multimedia device and lifting blades to the golfrisbee disk. The golfrisbee disk can generate the high lift with harmonic sound and shiny rainbow light as the golfrisbee glides in the sky.[0006]
• 2. Description of Prior Art[0007]
• The name of disk-golf is very similar to the name of golfrisbee. However, the name of the disk-golf is not proper. The disk-golf is not any kind of golf sport at all. The disk-golf does not use the club. The disc golf only uses the form golf rule. Instead of swiveling club to increase the disk flying range, the disk-golfer still uses the hand to throw a disc from a tee pad to a basket on a pole. The disk-golf has to use the special nets to catch the flying disk. The score is based on the number of throws it takes to get the disc to land in the basket.[0008]
• No golf club, golf is no more a golf sport. It is a stone-golf. It just throws the golf ball with hand. Stone-golf has no fun. It is funny. The stone golf is an unfair game, either. For the stone-golf, the stone-golfer uses the hand to throw the stone to play golf. Whoever is stronger will win the game.[0009]
• Disk-golf is similar to stone-golf. No club, the disk-golf is no more disk-golf. The disk-golfer still throws the disk with hand. It has no fun, either. As our golfrisbee sport becomes popular, it is hardly believe that the disk-golf will survive any more.[0010]
• However, using key words “disk-golf” to search on the Internet, it is easily to find out millions of web sites addressing on disk-golf. It is a hot sport. Therefore, Golfrisbee is a market-pull product and technology. The market is already there. However, there is no proper product and suitable technology to fit for the requirements of the demanding market. Definitely, our golfrisbee is the right market-pull product for the demanding market. The consumers have waited for our golfrisbee for a long time. However, due to the technology barrier of swiveling-to-fly, until now, no body can invent such a simple mechanism to emulate the complicated process of human's throwing disk to fly. Therefore, people have to accept the disk-golf sport as a poor substitutive solution.[0011]
• Our first inventor had invented U.S. Pat. No. 6,193,620, the multi-media Frisbee-golf. It is the first patent to use the swivel techniques to launch a disk to fly. Comparing our patent with previous patents, our invention is to use a simple screw mechanism to emulate human's throwing disk process. We make the technology breakthrough in the emulation of human throwing flying disk to fly. It is the most efficient way to launch the flying disk with our golfrisbee club.[0012]
• Furthermore, we make the system integration of the swivel-to-launch technology with golf to be the sport of golfrisbee. The golfrisbee sport is similar to the golf. The golfer swivels the golf club to hit the ball to fly or push the ball to roll into the hole. The golfrisbeer swivels the golfrisbee club to launch the golfrisbee disk to fly or push the disk to skid with club into the hole.[0013]
OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES
• Swivel-to-launch with club increases the flying distance of the disk. A new golfrisbee and a new golfrisbee sport are invented. Golfrisbee is the combination of the baseball, golf, flying disk, and hockey together to be a new sport. The golfrisbee is similar to golf. The golfrisbeer swivels the club to launch the golfrisbee to fly. However, the safe golfrisbee sport can play in the park. Even one single player still can play and practice the golfrisbee sport in the park safely. It converts the conventional disk-golf to be the golfrisbee. The integrated multimedia device can be embedded in the golfrisbee to have the attracting and interesting multimedia effect.[0014]
• The inventors have built a prototype and made many experiments. As we expect, the golfrisbee disk flies much farther, much higher and much better than the hand-throwing flying disk. Furthermore, the flying performance of golfrisbee is steady and repetitive. The golfrisbee always makes the successful flight each time.[0015]
• It is well known that the human player cannot repeat the same performance every time. The golfrisbee does not have the unsteady problems as hand-throwing flying disk has. The reason is the launching parameters such as angle, speed, direction, etc. have been cast in the golfrisbee. These parameters have very narrow working ranges. The human cannot repeat all these narrowly ranged parameters all the time. However, all these narrowly ranged parameters are calibrated and cast in the basic golfrisbee club and disk. As the golfrisbeer swivels the club, these parameters repeat the same values all the time. Therefore, the golfrisbee has much better performance than the hand-throwing flying disk.[0016]
• Therefore, the adjustment of these parameters is very important. For the basic golfrisbee club and disk, the manufacture will use the model casting process to fix all the parameters to be the optimum values. The beginner golfrisbeer does not need to calibrate these parameters. For the customized golfrisbee, the expert golfrisbeer can make the fine tune and adjustment to his personal preference.[0017]
• Furthermore, the golfrisbee does not need the special net equipment as the disk-golf does. The only modification for the traditional golf course is to enlarge the hole of golf ball to be the hole of golfrisbee disk. However, even this tiny modification can be optional. The golfrisbee disk can play as either hockey disk or flying disk. Therefore, the golfrisbee can share the same golf course with golf. The golfrisbee sport uses many different kinds of golfrisbee clubs and many different kinds of golfrisbee disks. As the golfrisbee becomes popular, a new industry will emerge. We create new market chances for the manufacturers and the owners of the golf courses[0018]

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
• The flying disk is very difficult to launch to fly. The human throwing to fly is the only efficient way to launch the flying disk to fly. However, the human arm is short. The force of human arm is weak. Therefore, the flying distance is short. To increase force, we use the waist force. To increase speed, we swivel a long pole to launch the flying disk to fly. In other words, to increase the flying distance, as the golf does, we need swivel the club to launch the flying disk. It will increase both the swiveling force and speed.[0028]
• The most difficult challenge of the swivel-to-fly technology is to use the pole to emulate the human throwing-to-fly process. However, the human hand is the most complicated and delicate mechanism with the most sophisticated controller, brain. The combination of the human hand and brain, it is almost impossible to emulate such complicated human throwing process with a simple mechanism. The most important issue is the simple mechanism needing to grasp the disk tightly before the launch and suddenly release the disk at the designated launching position. Usually, the designated launching position is the club being swiveled at the highest speed. It is an impossible mission to emulate the human hand and brain with a simple mechanism. Furthermore, to be practical, the simple mechanism has no moving part. The simple mechanism is sturdy. Otherwise, it will be easily broken in the high-speed operation of the club. That is the reason why the conventional disk-golf sport still uses the hand-throwing flying disk to play the golf-disk sport. They cannot overcome the technology barrier to have a simple, efficient and practical way to swivel and launch the flying disk.[0029]
• So, until now, there is no disk-golfer using the pole to launch the disk to fly. We are the only team dedicating our efforts to make the golfrisbee dream to become true. After a lot of trials and tests, finally, we make a breakthrough in concept and we have built a prototype to launch the disk to fly with the club. We have verified the innovative idea with the prototype to make the golfrisbee dream to become true. The verified innovative ideas and efforts becomes the core of our invention.[0030]
• We have built many prototypes and made field tests for these prototypes successfully. The working principle of the swiveling-to-launch-to-fly golfrisbee is to use the simple screw mechanism to emulate the complex human throwing way to launch the flying disk. The screw mechanism is simple and having no moving part. The invention of screw was the most important invention in history. However, nobody think the screw mechanism has such kind an important application which can emulate the complex process of human throwing disk to fly.[0031]
• The golfrisbee sport includes two components, the golfrisbee disk, and the golfrisbee club. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 illustrate the operations of golfrisbee. FIG. 1 is the value-added universal golfrisbee. FIG. 2 is the basic golfrisbee; FIG. 3 is the customized golfrisbee disk, etc.[0032]
• From our experience, for a beginner golfrisbeer, he had better to start to play the basic golfrisbee first. For the basic golfrisbee, all the important parameters have been cast into the golfrisbee disk and club as an integrated unit. With these preset parameters, the beginner golfrisbeer can swivel and launch the golfrisbee successfully without any problem. However, these parameters are the results of our numerous tests. The calibration processes for these parameters are professional and very tedious. The beginner golfrisbeer had better not to go through these parameters calibration process. They should leave the calibration process to the manufacturer until they become the experts golfrisbeer. Then they can adjust the parameters with the value-added universal golfrisbee, adjustable golfrisbee as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, etc.[0033]
• Referring to FIG. 1, depending on the golfrisbeer is right-hand user or left-hand user; the golfrisbee club has the right[0034]hand golfrisbee club2 and the left-hand golfrisbee club7. The right-hand user will swivel thegolfrisbee club2 on the right side of his body; the left-hand user will swivel the golfrisbee club7 on the left side of his body.
• As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, for the right-hand golfrisbeer, he uses the right[0035]hand golfrisbee club2 together with the right handfitting cap11. Theright hand screw34 is notched on theclub head3. Theright hand screw32 is notched in the fit cap means11. Thefitting cap11 having the right-hand screw32 fits on thehead3 having theright hand screw34.
• As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1C, for the left-hand golfrisbeer, he uses the left-hand golfrisbee club[0036]7 together with the left-handfitting cap16. The left-hand screw84 is notched on the left-hand club head8. The left-hand screw62 is notched in the left-handfitting cap16. For the left-hand golfrisbee system, the screw84 is left-hand screw system. Accordingly, the fitting cap means16 having the left-hand screw62 fits on the head8 having the left-hand screw84.
• In the following description, we make a lot of discussion is based on the right-hand golfrisbee. However, the same principles can be applied to left-hand golfrisbee.[0037]
• Referring to FIG. 1, the[0038]golfrisbee1 is a special design disk to rotationally mount on theclub head3 with the screw mechanism. Thescrew32 of thefitting cap11 is rotationally fit on the right-hand screw34 of thegolfrisbee club head3. The club head is constituted of ascrew34 notched on apole36. Thepole36 can be locked not to rotate with the lockingscrew35. Releasing the lockingscrew35, thepole36 can rotate to adjust the designated launching point of thegolfrisbee1. Thefitting cap11 fitting on theclub head3 is mounted beneath theuniversal golfrisbee1. Thefitting cap11 is constituted of thetube wall31 and theright hand screw32. Thefitting cap11 can be fixed with the lockingscrew33. Releasing the lockingscrew33, the fitting cap means can rotate to change the designated launching point of thegolfrisbee1, too. However, to make the adjustment of the designated launching point, both thefitting cap11 and theclub head3 have to make the necessary adjustments together. The operation range is very narrow. It is easily out of range. Therefore, we strongly suggest the beginner golfrisbeer to start with the basic golfrisbee. As shown in FIG. 1C, theshield10 is the airflow guiding plate to reduce the air drag force.
• As shown in FIG. 2A, all the value-added components are removed from the universal golfrisbee to be the basic golfrisbee. The cap fitting[0039]11bis cast to be one unit with thebasic golfrisbee1b. The basic golfrisbee has only onefitting cap11bhaving the screw to be either right-hand screw or left-hand screw. Correspondingly, thegolfrisbee club2bhas theclub head3bhaving the notched screw to be either right-hand screw or left-hand screw.
• Just like the golf having many different clubs, the golfrisbee not only has many different kinds of clubs but also has many different kinds of golfrisbees. To understand the swivel-to-launch and push-to-skid working principle of the golfrisbee, the universal golfrisbee as shown in FIG. 1 is simplified to be the basic golfrisbee as shown in FIG. 2. It had better to understand the operation principle of golfrisbee principle with the basic golfrisbee. The operations of the basic golfrisbee are illustrated in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9. The golfrisbee is similar to the golf. The golfer swivels the golf club to hit the golf ball to fly or push the golf ball to roll into the hole. The golfrisbeer swivels the golfrisbee club to launch the golfrisbee disk to fly or push the golfrisbee to skid into the hole.[0040]
• As shown in FIG. 8, it shows the operations of the right-hand golfrisbee. In FIG. 8A, the disk[0041]fitting cap11bmounts on thehead3bwith thescrew32 engaging with thescrew34. As shown in FIG. 8B, rotates thebasic golfrisbee1babout ½ circle to ¾ circle in the right-hand screw direction, i.e., in the clockwise direction. Theclub head3bholds thebasic golfrisbee1bwith the screw mechanism. As shown in FIG. 8C, swiveling theclub2bbackward slowly as the golfer or baseball player does. As shown in FIG. 8D, swiveling theclub2bforward fast as the golfer or baseball player does. Due to the eccentric force, thegolfrisbee1brotates in the counterclockwise direction with theclub head3bbeing the pivotal center. As shown in FIG. 8E, as thegolfrisbee1bpoints forward and theclub2bis at the highest speed, it is the designated launching point set by the parameters of the golfrisbee. The cap fitting11bof thegolfrisbee1bautomatically takes off and thegolfrisbee1blaunches to fly in the sky.
• As the golfrisbee disk is in the neighborhood of the[0042]target flag121, as shown in FIG. 9, the golfrisbeer pushes thegolfrisbee1bto skid into thehole122 with theclub2b. Thehole122 is at the foot of theflag121.
• There are two kinds of flying styles: the airplane and the helicopter. Similarly, there are two kinds of flying style for the golfrisbee. As the fitting cap is located at the rim of the golfrisbee disk, the golfrisbee flies as the airplane; as the fitting cap position is at the center of the golfrisbee disk, the golfrisbee flies as helicopter. As shown in FIG. 2, the[0043]basic golfrisbee1bmainly flies as the airplane. As shown in FIG. 1, theuniversal golfrisbee1 can fly as either airplane or helicopter. Referring to FIG. 1B and FIG. 4B, as the fitting cap is located at the center of the golfrisbee, thegolfrisbee1 needs to use the motor enhancedclub2 or2a. For the club having screw mechanism, the launching point must be set at a designated launching point on the swiveling trajectory of the club. Referring to FIG. 1A, thefitting cap11 at the rim is for the airplane type golfrisbee; thefitting cap12 at the center is for the helicopter type golfrisbee. With the motor enhancedgolfrisbee club2, thefitting cap11 at the rim can be used to launch the golfrisbee to fly as the airplane or thefitting cap12 at the center can be used to launch the golfrisbee to fly as the helicopter.
• Different screws have different launching effects. Different weights have different launching and fly effects. Different people have different swiveling styles. Under different weather conditions, the golfrisbee has different optimum “weight to aspect ratio” for best performance. To meet the different requirements, we need to have an open platform to meet the different requirements of the versatile working conditions. To understand the open platform principle, the[0044]universal golfbrisbee1 is simplified to be the customizedgolfrisbee1cin FIG. 3G and the personal golfrisbee1pin FIG. 3H.
• As shown in FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B, and FIG. 3C, there are different screw systems. FIG. 3D and FIG. 3E show the different weight systems. FIG. 3F, FIG. 3G and FIG. 3H show the golfrisbees with the open platform for the different screw and weight systems.[0045]
• FIG. 3A is the linear screw system. The linear screw shown in FIG. 3A is the screw system shown in FIG. 1. The[0046]screw34 is notched on the pole ofclub head3. Thescrew32 notched on theinside wall31 ofcap fitting11. For the linear system, the vertical take-off speed of thegolfrisbee disk1 is only a fraction of the horizontal rotational speed.
• For the non-linear screw system, the screw notched on the[0047]fitting cap11 is different from the screw notched on theclub head3. To increase the vertical take-off speed of thedisk1, thenonlinear screw system340 is used. The horizontal rotation momentum will convert to the vertical take-off momentum. As shown in FIG. 3B, the jumpingtype screw340 is in parabolic shape notched on theclub head3. The correspondingnonlinear screw320 is a circle spot notched on thefitting cap11.
• FIG. 3C is the[0048]non-linear screw system341 designed for the throwing distance. As shown in FIG. 3C, the speeding type golfrisbeenonlinear screw341 is notched on the cap fitting means; the nonlinear screw is notched on the club head is only onecircular spot321, or vice versa. The golfrisbee1awill not start the take off process until theclub2aswiveling at very high speed. The momentum is transmitted from theclub2ato the golfrisbee1aeffectively. Thegolfrisbee2awith thenonlinear screw341 will fly farther than thegolfrisbee2awithlinear screw system34.
• In the windy day, we need to increase the weight of the golfrisbee. As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 3H, the[0049]universal golfrisbee disk1 and the personal golfrisbee disk1pare the open platform fordifferent weight package13. The adjustable weight package is fit in the centralfitting cap12.
• As shown in FIG. 3F, FIG. 3G and FIG. 3H, to fit for the different requirements in the versatile conditions, the[0050]fitting cap11cand theclub head3ccan be exchanged. The customized golfrisbee1cor the personal golfrisbee1pand the customized club2cprovide the open platform for the different screw and/or weight system. Releasing the lockingscrew33, thefitting cap1ccan be exchanged for different screws. Releasing thelock screw35, theclub head3ccan be exchanged for different screws. Exchanging thefitting cap11cor theclub head3c, thescrew34cneeds to match with thescrew32c. They should be changed in pair. Since it is difficult to calibrate, there is an alignment mark marked on thedisk1cto suggest the alignment of thefitting cap11c. There is an alignment mark marked on the club2cto suggest the alignment of theclub head3c, too.
• Referring to FIG. 3H, as the golfrisbeer uses cap fitting[0051]11cat the rim, theweight package13 is screwed in the centralfitting cap12. As shown in FIG. 3D and FIG. 3E, theweight package13 has two different types, packages13sand13t. As shown in FIG. 3D theadjustable weight13 is a sealed package.Different package13shas thedifferent weight130. Theweight130 is sealed inside the package. Depending on the wind condition, the golfrisbee player will selectdifferent weight package13s. Thenotch131 is to remove or install theweight package13s. If the golfrisbeer wants to have fine tune for the weight, he can use thepersonal weight package13t. Theweight plate133 can be added to thestud135. Thescrew134 locks the weight plates to thepackage13t.
• Referring to FIG. 1, to increase the lift, there are the[0052]blades101 attaching to the disk body. To increase the rotating angular momentum of thegolfrisbee1, themotor70 can be embedded in thehead3 ofgolfrisbee club2. In the motor enhanced swivel-to-launch mode, thelock screw35 will be released to let theaxle36 freely spin. The working principle of the motor enhanced golfrisbee is very smart. The screw mechanism has both driving and launching capabilities. Thepush button51 is the switch for themotor70. There is onelaunching point indicator71 which is the launching position and the rotating stop position indicator for the motor. On thelaunching point indicator71, there is a stopping position mark. The motor will stop at the position specified by the stopping position mark. As thepush button51 is pushed to run, the digital motor will continuously run; as thepush button51 is pushed again, the digital motor will stop at the position specified by the stoppingmark71. As themotor70 runs and drives thegolfrisbee disk1 to rotate, thegolfrisbee disk1 is engaged and held by thescrew34. As themotor70 suddenly stop running and holds theaxle36 still, thegolfrisbee disk1 continues rotating due to the angular momentum. Thegolfrisbee disk1 is released to launch to fly at the launching point specified by thelaunching point indicator71. Such kind of an operation can be easily implemented with the modification of the traditional stepping motor. Thebattery pack5 is to supply the electrical power to themotor70. It can be rechargeable battery pack or conventional battery pack or fast exchangeable battery pack.
• As shown in FIG. 4, it shows the adjustable golfrisbee[0053]1a. Depending on the position of the fitting cap11a, the golfrisbee disk can fly as an airplane or a helicopter. As the fitting cap11ais located at the center, the golfrisbee1aflies as the helicopter does. As the fitting cap11ais located at the rim, the golfrisbee1aflies as the airplane does. As shown in FIG. 4C, there is aslot17 guiding the adjustable fitting cap11ato change the position. As shown in FIG. 4A, releasing the lockingscrew171, the adjustable fitting cap11acan slide on theslot17. On the vertical wall of the guiding slot, there are the multimedia means9a. Theintegrated multimedia device9ahas the similar structure as theintegrated multimedia device9 as shown in FIG. 1. The opening on the vertical wall for the multimedia means9anot only reduces the aerodynamic drag but also has the multimedia effects. The adjustable golfrisbee1ais launched to fly with the motor enhancedclub2aas shown in FIG. 4B.
• As the[0054]golfrisbee1 flies into the bush or fall into the pond, the pick-and-throw club17 is needed. As shown in FIG. 5, the pick-and-throw club17 is constituted of thefinger135 and thepalm178 to grasp the rim of the golfrisbee to pick up the golfrisbee and throw the golfrisbee. Thefinger135 is pivotally mounted on theaxle171. Pressing on thehandle176, thesteel wire172 slides inside theguide tube173 to pull thefinger135 to grasp the golfrisbee disk. Theextension pole174 slides in thehandle pole175 to adjust the pole length. Thelocker176 is to lock theextension pole174. As thelocker176 is released, theextension pole174 can slide in thehandle pole175.
• As the golfrisbeer does not have enough room to swivel the golfrisbee club, the golfrisbee has to fly out of the limited space as the helicopter does. Referring to FIG. 6, the[0055]club2hhaving no screw, theclub2hmust be the motor enhanced club. The launching point can be at any point on the swiveling trajectory of theclub2h. As shown in FIG. 6A, thegolfrisbee1hhas thefitting cap275 locating at the center. Thefitting cap275 fits on thecone270 of theclub2h. Themotor232 slides on the pole of thegolfrisbee club2h. Themotor232 drives thesteel wire235 to rotate in the guidedtube234. Thesteel wire235 drives theflat key271 to rotate. The key271 is inside thecone270 to drive thecone270 to rotate. Attaching to theflat key271, there are twowires236 having the hooked ends to grasp theprotrude276 at the top of thecone275. First, mount thegolfrisbee1hwith thefitting cap275 fitting on thecone270. As themotor232 is pulled backward, thesteel wire235 pulls thewire236 downward. Under the constraint of thetube confinement237, the steel wire hooks236 close to grasp theprotrude235. Pressing on thebutton51h, themotor232 drives thesteel wire235 to rotate. Thesteel wire235 drives the key271 to rotate. The key271 drives thecone270 to rotate. Thecone270 drives thegolfrisbee1hto rotate. As themotor232 is pushed forward, thespring272 pushes the key271 upward. Thehooks236 will push thegolfrisbee1hto launch and release thegolfrisbee1hto fly. Under the lift force of theblade101, thehelicopter type golfrisbee1htakes off to fly.
• As shown in FIG. 1D, FIG. 4C or FIG. 4A, as the air passes the slot blowing on the[0056]integrated multimedia device9 or9a, it generates the multimedia effects. Themultimedia device9 can be as simple as the string91 tied to thepole92 or as complex as theintegrated multimedia device9mas shown in FIG. 7. For the simple string91, it can be string ties two ends ofpoles92. As the wind blows on it, it will generate sound. For the multimedia means9m, it is a flat tongue means has one free end to vibrate.
• As shown in FIG. 7, the[0057]integrated multimedia device9mis constituted of thevibration lighting LED83, themagnets801 and802, thevibration tongue90 and/or thevibration fork911. The principle of the vibration enlightenedLED83 has already fully disclosed in the FIG. 19 of U.S. Pat. No. 6,193,620. In this patent, we further integrate the harmonic vibration sound mechanism with the vibration enlightened mechanism to be anintegrated multimedia mechanism9m. As theair flow950 flows through the slot, it blows on thevibration tongue90 and/or thevibration fork911 to generate the harmonic vibration and sound. The vibration enlightenedLED83 can be either attached to the free end of thevibration tongue90 or attached to thevibration fork911. There are many different designs and alignments. As the wind95 blows on thetongue90, it generates the harmonic vibration of whistle sound. The vibration of thetongue90 will make thefork911 to have the harmonic resonance. The harmonic resonance of thefork911 causes the vibration enlightenedLED83 to shine light. As the vibration enlightenedLED83 vibrates in themagnetic field94 generated by themagnet poles801 and802, thecoil81 wrapping around theLED83 cuts themagnetic field line94 to generate the electrical voltage. Due to the harmonic oscillator circuit being constituted of the LED and the coil, the electrical voltage will build up and enlighten the LED. The vibration enlightenedLED83 have different colors. As the golfrisbee disk flies and rotates, it looks beautiful.
• While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.[0058]
