  • Toy top
    Patent number: 10118103
    Abstract: A toy top includes a body and a shaft unit. The body includes rotating components which are attached to be rotatable relative to each other. At least two of the rotating components include respective contact portions which come in contact with each other to regulate a rotation range between the two rotating components. The contact portions are configured such that contact between the contact portions gradually become loose as the contact portions repeatedly come in contact with each other due to relative rotation of the two rotating components, and capability of regulating rotation is eventually lost so that the rotation range is expanded.

  • TOY TOP
    Publication number: 20180229111
    Abstract: A toy top includes a shaft part having, as a shaft center, an axis that coincides with a center of rotation. A lower end portion of the shaft part includes a shaft tip part and an annular member. The shaft tip part includes a contact member. The annular member is movably disposed around the shaft tip part in an extending direction of the axis. In a normal state in which the axis is perpendicular to a contact surface, the contact member protrudes from the annular member downward, and only the contact member contacts the contact surface. When the axis of the shaft part inclines with respect to the contact surface, the contact member and the annular member contact the contact surface.
