Claims3
A toy comprising a circular loop and a rod, said rod having a handle at one end and a hook at the opposite end for engaging the loop to propel and guide said loop over a surface, said circular loop including a balancing means, said balancing means including a weight supported by rollers on the loop periphery including suspension means for suspending said weight below the top of said loop, said weight being symmetrically aligned with the center of gravity of said loop, whereby the weight will act as a counterbalance to assist in maintaining the loop substantially in a verticle position as it travels over a surface.
