Abstract: A combined type toy top separated through induction control, includes a main top, an auxiliary top and an elastic part. When the combined type toy top is in a first state, the main top is limited and fixed by the auxiliary top, above the auxiliary top, and meanwhile the main top compresses the elastic part so that the elastic part is compressed. The combined type toy top is characterized in that a sensing mechanism is arranged in the auxiliary top. The sensing mechanism can controllably relieve limiting fixation of the main top from the auxiliary top under a second state through induction control. The main top pops up under an elasticity action of the elastic part, and, accordingly, the main top and the auxiliary top rotate independently.

Abstract: A portable ice skating rink structure kit that includes a liner, sidewall, a wicket or slotted anchor block for supporting the sidewall, and sidewall connectors and liner clips. The skating rink may be used on hard or soft surfaces. The sidewall is supported by wickets for use with soft surfaces, such as ground, and slotted anchor blocks for use with hard surfaces, such as pavement. The slotted blocks may have slots of different depths to compensate for uneven ground underneath the skating surface and maintain a sidewall of even height. Once the sidewall is supported, a liner is draped over the playing surface and the sidewalls create a pool of water. The liner may be held in place with liner clips and staples. When temperatures fall below freezing, a smooth sheet of surface ice is created.
