Abstract

An illuminated flying toy with an improved propeller that can bring the flying toy to high altitude. The illuminated flying toy provides a dazzling and fantastic effect when played at night. The illuminated flying toy mainly contains a propeller and a launcher. The propeller contains an outer ring, a transparent base plate, a cover and plural blades. The transparent base plate has an illuminating device thereon, a power device thereon for supplying electric power to the illuminating device. The cover is used for covering topside of the transparent base plate. The plural blades radially extend from edges of the transparent base plate to the outer ring. The launcher is adapted to the transparent base plate for launching the propeller. The illuminating device can alternatively be installed on the blades and controlled by a chip installed on the transparent base plate to display various patterns shown at night.

Claims (25)

1. An illuminated flying toy comprising:

a propeller comprising:

an outer ring;

a transparent base plate having:

an illuminating device thereon; and

a power device thereon for supplying electric power to said illuminating device;

a cover for covering topside of said transparent base plate;

plural blades radially extending from edges of said transparent base plate to said outer ring; and

a launcher adapted to said transparent base plate for launching said propeller;

wherein said cover, said outer ring and said plural blades are transparent and said transparent base plate has a flange on surroundings of said transparent base plate, said flange has plural engaging slots, each of said engaging slots comprises an inward opening and a channel, said channel extends from said inward opening along said flange to a distant position and said cover has plural protrusions on the bottom, wherein each of said protrusions is adapted to engage said transparent base plate through said inward opening and being rotated to an end of said channel correspondingly.

2. An illuminated flying toy comprising:

a propeller comprising:

an outer ring;

a transparent base plate having:

a circuit thereon; and

a power device thereon electrically connected to said circuit;

a cover for covering topside of said transparent base plate; and plural blades radially extending from edges of said transparent base plate to said outer ring, wherein at least one of said blades comprise plural illuminating elements controlled by said circuit; and

a launcher adapted to said transparent base plate for launching said propeller;

wherein said transparent base plate has a flange on surroundings of said transparent base plate, said flange has plural engaging slots, each of said engaging slots comprises an inward opening and a channel, said channel extends from said inward opening along said flange to a distant position and said cover has plural protrusions on the bottom, wherein each of said protrusions is adapted to engage said transparent base plate through said inward opening and being rotated to an end of said channel correspondingly.

3. The illuminated flying toy of claim 2 wherein said power device comprises:

a battery having a positive electrode and a negative electrode, said positive electrode electrically connected to said illuminating device;

a first conductive plate mounted at inside of said cover;

a second conductive plate electrically connected to said illuminating device;

wherein said first conductive plate electrically connects to said second conductive plate when said cover is tightened.

4. The illuminated flying toy of claim 3 wherein said transparent base plate comprises a battery holder thereon for holding said battery and a plate holder thereon for holding said second conductive plate.
