Abstract
A toy holding adapter for removably attaching a fidget spinner to an article. The article may include an airplane; a helicopter, or a cycle, such as a motorcycle or a bicycle. The fidget spinner is mounted to the article to provide the article with a visual appearance of a rotating body associated with the article to which it is applied. The holding adapter has a stem extending from a back face that is operatively coupled to a receiver in the article. A central cavity in the front face receives a cylindrical adapter cup that is dimensioned to receive a holding disk of the fidget spinner.
