  • Patent number: 10245518
    Abstract: A toy top includes a shaft portion, a body and an attacking member. The body is rotatable relative to the shaft portion in response to an impact applied to the body. The attacking member is movably connected to the body to move in a predetermined direction relative to the body between first and second positions. In the second position, the attacking member protrudes from the body a variable protruding distance which varies according to the rotating position of the body relative to the shaft portion.

  • Publication number: 20180339236
    Abstract: A toy top includes a shaft portion and a body that includes a first body part which is rotatable relative to the shaft portion in response to an impact applied to the main component and a second body part which is rotatable relative to the first body part. First spaced extensions extend radially outward from a circumference of the first body. Second spaced extensions extend radially outward from a circumference of the second body. The second extensions stepwise vary their positions relative to the first extensions when the first body part rotates relative to the shaft portion. The second extensions move into the spaces between the first extensions when the first body part rotates relative to the second body part.

  • Publication number: 20180339235
    Abstract: A toy top includes a body, a shaft portion, a movable component and a biasing member. The movable component includes at least a portion of the body and is movable upward and downward along the rotational axis of the toy top. The biasing member urges the movable component upward or downward. The movable component has a circumferential face that flares away from the biasing direction of the biasing member as the circumferential face recedes from the rotational axis. When the circumferential face collides with an opponent toy top, the movable component moves against a biasing force of the biasing member in a direction opposite to the biasing direction, and then the movable component is urged by resilience of the biasing member, so that the opponent toy top is moved in the biasing direction.
