Abstract
A spinning toy includes a main body provided with blades, each of which can be provided with weight modules. The weight modules are provided with counter-weight members, of which the positions are adjustable. A bearing having an upper finger cover and a bottom finger cover is mounted in the center of the main body. By pinching the two finger covers via fingers, a user can hold the toy and suspend the main body between the fingers, and then slightly flick the blades with the other hand to enable the blades to spin; when the positions of the counter-weight members of the weight modules are adjusted, as the gravity center is no longer evenly distributed, the user can make the blades spin for a long time by swinging the toy in a proper rhythm.
Claims11
A spinning toy, comprising:
- a main body, which is provided with blades, each of which can be provided with weight modules;
- a bearing, which is disposed in a center of the main body;
- an upper and bottom part of the bearing is provided with an upper finger cover and a bottom finger cover respectively;
- and
- weight modules, which are disposed on the blades to balance the weight of the spinning toy, wherein at least one weight module may move to render gravity centers of the blades unevenly distributed and, in conjunction with the spinning toy being swung in a proper rhythm, twisting forces being adjusted and thereby momentums of the blades being changed, causing the blades to spin for a long time.
