Toy top

Abstract

A toy top capable of continuing to spin without its spinning being abruptly stopped by contacting a playing surface when the toy top wobbles with a reduction in rotational speed so as to spin longer than an opponent toy top. A toy top includes a shaft portion having a circular shape in cross-section and adapted to come into contact with a playing surface of the playing board for serving as a center of rotation when the toy top spins; a rotating plate having an insertion hole of an inner diameter greater than an outer diameter of the shaft portion, the rotating plate being attached to the shaft portion so as to freely rotate around the shaft portion while the shaft portion is inserted through the insertion hole; and an engagement for permitting the rotating plate to freely rotate and preventing the rotating plate from detaching from the shaft portion when the rotating plate is attached to the shaft portion.
