Abstract
In one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a toy disk wheel. The disk wheel is defined to include a housing having first and second housing members, each housing member is substantially shaped as a half disk such that assembly of the first and second housing members forms a disk with a rounded outer surface to permit the housing to roll on a surface and a pair of outer sections. A transparent side portion is positioned along each outer surface of the pair of outer sections. Each transparent side portion includes a protuberance positioned about the center of the transparent side portion with a notch positioned thereon. The notch is used to accommodate an axle having ends which transverse the housing to rotatably position in the notches of both side portions.
Claims7
A toy disk wheel comprising:
- a housing having first and second housing members, each housing member is substantially shaped as a half disk such that assembly of the first and second housing members forms a disk with a rounded outer surface to permit the housing to roll on a surface and a pair of outer sections;
- a transparent side portion positioned along each outer surface of the pair of outer sections, each transparent side portion includes a protuberance positioned about the center of the transparent side portion with a notch positioned thereon;
- an axle having ends which transverse the housing to rotatably position in the notches of both side portions;
- and
- an object having a bottom portion heavier then a top portion and having an opening therethrough to receive the axle such that the object is freely pivotal about the axle, whereas when the housing is rolling on a surface, gravity cause the object to rock back and forth on the axle, the object being further defined as having
- a two piece middle section having edges positioned on either end, and
- a pair of outer sections separately positioned on either side of the two piece middle section, each outer section of the pair includes an armature extending to the axle and includes a ledge facing towards and resting on the edges of the two piece middle section.
In combination therewith:
- a toy disk wheel comprising:
- a housing shaped as a disk with a rounded outer surface to permit the housing to roll on a surface, transparent side portions positioned along opposing sides defined by the housing, each transparent side portion includes a notch positioned thereon to accommodate an axle having ends which transverse the housing to rotatably position in the notches, and
- an object having a bottom portion heavier then a top portion and having an opening therethrough to receive the axle such that the object is freely pivotal about the axle, whereas when the housing is rolling on a surface, gravity cause the object to rock back and forth on the axle, the object being further defined as having a two piece middle section having edges positioned on either end, and a pair of outer sections separately positioned on either side of the two piece middle section, each outer section of the pair includes an armature extending to the axle and includes a ledge facing towards and resting on the edges of the two piece middle section;
- and
- a curved tack comprising:
- a curved bottom element having outside edges and ends, a pair of curved side walls connected to the outside edges of the curved bottom, the side walls extending between the ends of the curved bottom element, and end stops secured at each of the ends of the curved bottom element;
- whereby when the curved bottom element is rocking along its curved bottom element and a disk wheel is placed between the curved side walls the disk wheel is able to roll between the end stops with the object rocking about the axle.
