Abstract
A spinner for a toy top enables a launching position of a toy top to be easily set and held in place even when a rack belt is vigorously pulled out. The spinner includes an elongated rack belt having a rack gear, and a spinner main body formed with an insertion hole through which the rack belt is inserted. The spinner main body includes a toy top mounting part rotatably provided on one surface thereof. Inside the spinner main body, a rotating mechanism that is actuated by pulling out the rack belt to impart a rotational force to the toy top mounting part is provided. The rack belt can be inserted into and pulled out from the insertion hole in a same direction an axis of rotation of the toy top mounting part.
Claims35
A spinner for a toy top for launching the toy top while imparting a rotational force to the toy top, comprising:
- an elongated plate-shaped rack belt having a rack gear formed thereon;
- and
- a spinner main body having an insertion hole therein through which the rack belt is inserted, the spinner main body including a toy top mounting part rotatably provided on a lower surface side thereof for mounting the toy top thereon and a rotating mechanism provided inside thereof, the rotating mechanism being actuated by pulling out the rack belt to impart a rotational force to the toy top mounting part, wherein
- the spinner main body is so constructed that the rack belt can be inserted in and pulled out from the insertion hole in a direction the same as a direction of an axis of rotation of the toy top mounting part.
A spinner for imparting a rotational force to a toy top, comprising:
- a rack gear;
- and
- a spinner main body with an insertion hole therein to receive the rack gear, the spinner main body including an external rotatable toy top mounting part on one surface thereof for receiving the toy top and an internal rotating mechanism, the rotating mechanism being rotated by pulling out the rack gear which rotates the toy top mounting part,
- wherein the rack gear can be inserted in and pulled out from the insertion hole in a same direction as an axis of rotation of the toy top mounting part.
A spinner for imparting a rotational force to a toy top, comprising:
- a rack gear;
- and
- a spinner main body with an insertion hole therein to receive the rack gear, the spinner main body including an external rotatable toy top mounting part on one surface thereof for receiving the toy top and an internal rotating mechanism, the rotating mechanism being rotated by pulling out the rack gear which rotates the toy top mounting part,
- wherein the spinner main body includes a base section in which the toy top mounting part is arranged and a rotary section rotatably provided with respect to the base section, and
- the insertion hole is formed in the rotary section so that a direction in which the insertion hole extends can be changed by rotating the rotary section with respect to the base section.
