CA 2490814

A recreational or competitive flying disc (100) includes an illumination system employing an array of flexible optical fibers (118) to distribute the light of a single light emitting diode (LED)(116) from the rotational center of the disc (100) to its outside periphery. A small water-resistant compartment (114) centered on the underside of the disc houses the LED (116), battery, and the illumination control. The leads (120, 122) of the LED (116) also serve as the contacts of the battery (142). One end of each of the optical fibers (118) is embedded in the LED (116), and the other end extends radially from the central housing (114) on the underside surface of the disc (100) to the rim of the disc. The flying disc (100) is illuminated without altering the aerodynamic properties of the disc (100).

Un disque volant (100) de jeu ou de compétition comprend un système d'éclairage qui utilise un réseau de fibres optiques souples (118) pour distribuer la lumière d'une unique diode électroluminescente (DEL) (116) depuis le centre de rotation du disque (100) jusqu'à son pourtour externe. Un petit compartiment (114) résistant à l'eau centré sur le dessous du disque contient la DEL (116), la pile et la commande d'éclairage. Les fils (120, 122) de la DEL (116) constituent également les contacts de la pile (142). Une extrémité de chacune des fibres optiques (118) est noyée dans la DEL (116) et l'autre extrémité s'étend radialement depuis le logement central (114) sur la surface de dessous du disque (100) jusqu'au bord du disque. Le disque volant (100) est éclairé sans que soient altérées les propriétés aérodynamiques dudit disque (100).
