Spinner toy and method of rotating same

A spinner toy comprising:

• a rotating element, having a top surface and a central hole,
• a means of rotation which is mounted in the central hole of the rotating element, wherein an outer surface of a body of the means of rotation is attached to the rotating element,
• a top button cover,
• a lower button cover which is connected to the top button cover through the means of rotation, and the top button cover and the lower button cover may be held between a user's fingers,
• wherein the rotating element is equipped with symmetrically placed a plurality of weight elements, and the rotating element and the means of rotation are capable of rotation about a central vertical axis that runs perpendicular to the top surface of the rotating element, and the rotating element is made centrally balanced with respect to the central vertical axis,
• wherein the means of rotation comprises a ball bearing and screw converter of reciprocating motion into unidirectional rotational motion of the rotating element,
• wherein a housing of the ball bearing and screw converter comprises a hollow sleeve, having an inner surface and an outer surface,
• the inner surface of the housing comprises a helical groove of a selected profile,
• wherein a rotation bearing is mounted at a lower end of the hollow sleeve, with the lower button cover being attached to the lower end of the hollow sleeve,
• wherein an inner ring of the rotation bearing is mounted on a guide rod, with an upper end of the guide rod having a cavity and being movably connected to a pusher, which is located on an upper end of the hollow sleeve and is designed to slide along the guide rod, wherein the pusher is in a form of a hollow cylinder, with a first bearing installed in a lower end of the pusher,
• wherein the top button cover is mounted at the upper end of the pusher cylinder, with a spring positioned under the top button cover, which is removable,
• Wherein a top end of the spring is recessed into the cavity of the guide rod, and a lower end of the spring rests against the top button cover, while the spring is capable of returning the pusher from a lower position to an initial upper position after the user has removed pressure from the top button cover when the rotating element rotates.
