  • Patent number: 10434401
    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.

  • Publication number: 20190262735
    Abstract: A form changing toy includes a power source, an operation part, a movable part, a switch, and an operation mechanism. The operation part is connected to the power source to perform a predetermined movement by power from the power source. The switch is configured to be reversibly moved between a first position and a second position manually. The operation mechanism is configured to move, by the power, the movable part by making the movable part abut the power source or by making the movable part abut the operation part when the switch is at the second position, and is configured to separate the movable part from the power source or the movable part from the operation part when the switch is at the first position.
