Abstract
A toy top that can repeatedly jump on a curved playing surface to attack an opponent toy top from above. The jumping toy top includes a toy main body, a spinning shaft body having a spinning shaft, and a shaft body supporting portion disposed on the toy main body to support the spinning shaft body. A distal end of the spinning shaft has one side projecting downward more than another diametrically opposite side to configure a portion to contact a playing surface of a playing board. When the jumping toy top spins on a central axis of the toy main body, the contact portion revolves around the central axis of the toy main body in a circular orbit.
Claims27
A jumping toy top that is played against an opponent toy top on a playing surface curved in an approximately concave-mirror-like shape of a playing board, comprising:
- a toy main body;
- a spinning shaft body having a spinning shaft;
- and
- a shaft body supporting portion disposed on the toy main body to support the spinning shaft body, wherein
- the spinning shaft of the spinning shaft body has a distal end formed such that one side thereof protrudes downward more than the other side thereof diametrically opposite to the one side to configure a contact portion for coming in contact with the playing surface of the playing board;
- and
- the contact portion revolves around a central axis of the toy main body in a circular orbit when the jumping toy top spins on the central axis of the toy main body.
A toy top, comprising:
- a main body;
- a contact portion body having a surface contact portion;
- and
- a shaft supporting portion disposed on the main body to support the contact portion body, wherein the contact portion has a distal end with one side thereof protruding more than another side;
- and
- the contact portion is spaced from a central axis of the main body and revolves around the central axis and in a circular orbit when the toy top spins on the central axis of the main body.
A jumping toy, comprising:
- a main body having a central axis;
- and
- a contact portion body having a surface contact portion;
- wherein the contact portion has a distal end with one side protruding more than another side, the contact portion can be moved from a first position at the central axis of the main body to a second position wherein the contact portion and the axis of the main body are spaced, and when the contact portion is in the second position, and the toy top spins on the central axis of the main body, the contact portion revolves around the central axis of the main body in a circular orbit.
