Toy top

A toy top for spinning on a surface, comprising:

• a shaft part having an axis that coincides with a center of rotation of the toy top, wherein the shaft part has a first end and a second end, a shaft tip at the first end, a body at the second end, a support member non-movably fixed to the shaft part and disposed on an upper end of the shaft tip, wherein the shaft tip is non-movably fixed to the support, and an annular member is positioned between the shaft tip and the second end to move along the axis between a first position contacting the shaft tip and a second position spaced from the shaft tip, while the toy top is spinning, in a normal state, when the axis is perpendicular to a contact surface, the shaft tip protrudes from the annular member downward, and only the shaft tip contacts the contact surface, but when the axis of the shaft part inclines with respect to the contact surface, the shaft tip and the annular member contact the contact surface, and when the annular member contacts the contact surface, the annular member moves up toward the support member along the axis of the shaft part.

A toy top for spinning on a surface and having a first end and a second end and an axis of rotation, comprising:

• a body at the first end, a projection extending from and non-movably fixed to the body toward the second end and having an axis that coincides with the axis of rotation, a top tip non-movably connected to the projection at the second end, an annular member positioned between the top tip and the body in sliding relation on the projection to move along the axis of the projection between a first position away from the body and toward the top tip and a second position closer to the body than the first position;
• while the toy top is spinning, in a normal state, when the axis of the projection is perpendicular to a contact surface, the top tip protrudes from the projection downward, and only the top tip contacts the contact surface, but when the axis of the projection inclines with respect to the contact surface, the top tip and the annular member contact the contact surface, and when the annular member contacts the contact surface, the annular member moves up along the projection along the axis of the projection.
