Fidget-Spinner Toy And Methods Of Using A Fidget-Spinner Toy

A fidget-spinner toy, comprising:

• (a) a gyroscopic rotor,
• (b) means for rotating said gyroscopic rotor further comprised of a reciprocating actuator rod, and
• (c) a finger-holding apparatus for receiving said tip end of a finger attached to one end of said reciprocating actuator rod and which spins independently of said gyroscopic rotor, and
• (d) a tip apparatus for resting on a thumb or on any smooth surface and which spins independently of said gyroscopic rotor,
• whereby said fidget-spinner toy can be comfortably and conveniently held in one hand while said tip apparatus rests on said thumb of said hand and as said gyroscopic rotor is rotated by said means for rotating said gyroscopic rotor when moving said thumb and said tip end of a finger closer together and then farther apart again repeatedly so motion of said finger does not impede the motion of rotating said gyroscopic rotor, and
• whereby smooth reciprocating motion of said tip end of a finger moving said reciprocating actuator rod comprising said means for rotating said gyroscopic rotor replaces awkward flicking motion of said finger to rotate said gyroscopic rotor.

A method of using a fidget-spinner toy, comprising:

• (a) first providing a fidget-spinner toy capable of being held in one hand between the thumb and the tip end of another finger comprised of a gyroscopic rotor, means for rotating said gyroscopic rotor which is further comprised of a reciprocating actuator rod, and a tip apparatus, then
• (b) placing said tip apparatus of provided said fidget-spinner toy so it rests on a thumb and so entire provided said fidget-spinner toy rests between said thumb and the tip end of another finger, then
• (c) rotating said gyroscopic rotor around its spin axis in one direction only by moving said reciprocating actuator rod with bidirectional linear motion of said tip end of another finger as said thumb and said tip end of another finger move closer together and then farther apart again repeatedly, or alternatively
• (d) placing said tip apparatus on any smooth surface, then
• (e) rotating said gyroscopic rotor unidirectional by moving said reciprocating actuator rod linearly into and out of the center of said gyroscopic rotor.
