Abstract

A hockey puck comprised of an annular member with a translucent member disposed interior to the annular member. The interface of the annular member and the translucent member is reflective. A light member is disposed in the translucent member to form a hockey puck having symmetrical contact surfaces. A plurality of raised nubs may be located on the first and second opposedly arranged surfaces (faces) of said annular member for playing on non-ice surfaces.

Claims (15)

1. A hockey puck comprising:

a. an annular member, said annular member having a first surface and a second surface, wherein said first and second annular member surfaces are oppositely positioned to form an annular member edge, said annular member edge having an interior and exterior, said annular member edge perpendicular to said first and second annular member surfaces;

b. a translucent member disposed interior to said annular member, wherein said translucent member has a first surface and a second surface, wherein said first and second translucent member surfaces are oppositely positioned to form a translucent member edge, wherein said translucent member edge is perpendicular to said first and second translucent member surfaces and is positioned adjacent said interior of said annular member edge, to form an interface between said annular member and said translucent member edge is light reflective,

c. a plurality of radial bores, said plurality of radial bores placed in and through said annular member into said translucent member;

d. at least one light channel, said at least one light channel positioned in at least one of said plurality of radial bores; and,

e. a light member disposed in at least of said radial bores to form a hockey puck having symmetrical contact surfaces.

2. The hockey puck of claim 1 wherein at least one said light channel is translucent and structurally supports and stabilizes the translucent member within the annular member.

3. The hockey puck of claim 2 wherein a plurality of raised nubs are located on said annular member edge.

4. The hockey puck of claim 1 wherein said light member includes a power switch, a power source and a light bulb.

5. The hockey puck of claim 1 wherein said light member includes a light emitting diode (LED).

6. The hockey puck of claim 1 wherein said annular member is formed of carbonized rubber.

7. The hockey puck of claim 1 wherein said translucent member is formed of a polycarbonate resin thermoplastic material.

8. The hockey puck of claim 1 wherein a plurality of raised nubs are located on said first and second annular member surfaces.

9. The hockey puck of claim 1 wherein said light member gives off colored light.

10. The hockey puck of claim 1 wherein the diameter of said plurality of radial bores varies.
