Abstract
A toy top includes a toy body having a main spring power device therein, the main spring power device being rotatively linked with a revolving shaft provided on a center of a bottom surface of the toy body. The main spring power device includes latch means for maintaining a winding-up position when a main spring is wound up and a button for releasing the latch means so as to release a revolving force of the main spring. The toy body is provided with a press mechanism for pressing the button according to a rise or a reduction in a centrifugal force during the revolution of the toy body.

3. The toy top according to claim 2, wherein said press member is arranged so as to be movable in a direction where said press member presses or separates from said button, and is urged by a spring in a direction where said press member separates from said button, to thereby press said button against a force of said spring due to a rise of the centrifugal force during the revolution of said toy body.

4. The toy top according to claim 2, wherein said press member is arranged so as to be movable in a direction where said press member presses or separates from said button, and is urged by a first spring in the direction where said press member presses said button;
- and
said press mechanism further includes a holding member which is arranged so as to be movable between a position where said holding member is engaged with said press member and a position where said holding member is disengaged from said press member, and which is urged by a second spring so as to be engaged with said press member in a state that said press member separates from said button, and which is moved to the position where said holding member is disengaged from said press member against the force of said second spring due to the centrifugal force during the revolution of said toy body, whereby said press member disengages from said holding member and presses said button with the force of said first spring due to a reduction in the centrifugal force during the revolution of said toy body.
