Abstract: A spinner for a toy top enables a launching position of a toy top to be easily set and held in place even when a rack belt is vigorously pulled out. The spinner includes an elongated rack belt having a rack gear, and a spinner main body formed with an insertion hole through which the rack belt is inserted. The spinner main body includes a toy top mounting part rotatably provided on one surface thereof. Inside the spinner main body, a rotating mechanism that is actuated by pulling out the rack belt to impart a rotational force to the toy top mounting part is provided. The rack belt can be inserted into and pulled out from the insertion hole in a same direction an axis of rotation of the toy top mounting part.

Abstract: A safe spinner for a toy top which ensures that a rack gear formed on a rack belt will not directly contact a user's body during a pulling operation of the rack belt is provided. A spinner for a toy top includes a rotation imparting mechanism for imparting rotation to a toy top, having a rack gear and a pinion gear. The rack gear is formed on one surface of a belt body of an elongated plate-shape in such a manner that teeth of the rack gear protrude from the surface of the belt body and are arrayed in a longitudinal direction of the belt body. The belt body includes a pair of protection plates which is disposed on the surface thereof so that the plates face each other across the teeth of the rack gear, the pair of protection plates each being formed to have a height from the surface of the belt body equal to or greater than a height of the teeth of the rack gear.

Abstract: A racing toy including: a running body including, a driving mechanism for automatic running, and a running control section to enhance running ability of the running body and to reduce running ability of a competing running body; a signal storing section to store a plurality of running control signals regarding the running ability of the running body; and a selection control section to randomly select a running control signal from among the running control signals stored in the signal storing section, wherein the running control section enhances the running ability of the running body and/or reduces the running ability of the competing running body according to the running control signal selected by the selection control section.

Abstract: A racing toy including: at least one first running body; and at least one second running body which competes with the first running body for speed, wherein the first running body includes: a driving mechanism for automatic running; and a first obstructing signal transmitting section to transmit an obstructing signal at least forward and/or backward by radio, the obstructing signal which obstructs the running of the second running body, and the second running body includes: a driving mechanism for automatic running; an obstructing signal receiving section to receive the obstructing signal; and an obstruction control section to control an obstructing operation of the driving mechanism of the second running body according to the obstructing signal received at the obstructing signal receiving section.

Abstract: A running toy system includes running toys and a running path on which the running toys run. The running path includes a first running path portion with a width allowing running of one running toy, a second running path portion with a width allowing parallel running of at least two running toys, and a third running path portion whose width increases from one end thereof toward the other end to connect the one end thereof to the first running path portion and the other end thereof to the second running path portion.

Abstract: A game piece and game board assembly includes a game piece body having a weight mounting section. A weight member can be mounted at various locations on the weight mounting section to vary the center of gravity. The game piece can strike an opponent's game piece on a game board to score points. A cover can obscure the location of the weight member on the game piece.

Abstract: A toy dump arranged so as to be suitably applied to children of today. The toy dump includes a dump body and a weight member detachably mounted on the dump body. The dump body is formed into a plate-like shape and provided with at least one mounting section for detachably mounting the weight member therein.
