Spinner for toy top
First Claim
1. A spinner for a toy top for launching the toy top while imparting a rotational force to the toy top, comprising:
- an elongated plate-shaped rack belt having a rack gear formed thereon; and
a spinner main body having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an insertion hole therein through which the rack belt is inserted, the spinner main body including a toy top mounting part to rotate about a first axis of rotation provided on the bottom surface for mounting the toy top thereon and a rotating mechanism provided inside the spinner main body, the rotating mechanism being actuated by pulling out the rack belt to impart a rotational force to the toy top mounting part, whereinthe spinner main body is so constructed that the rack belt can be inserted in and pulled out from the insertion hole in a same direction as a direction of the first axis of rotation.

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 as an axis of rotation of the toy top mounting part.

14. A spinner for imparting a rotational force to a toy top, comprising:
-
a rack gear; and a spinner main body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first axis of rotation and a second axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the first axis, and an insertion hole to receive the rack gear, the spinner main body including an external toy top mounting part to rotate about the first axis of rotation on the bottom surface for receiving the toy top and an internal rotating mechanism, the rotating mechanism being rotated by pulling out the rack gear which rotates the toy top mounting part, wherein the rack gear can be inserted in and pulled out from the insertion hole along an axis substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A spinner for imparting a rotational force to a toy top, comprising:
-
a rack gear; and a spinner main body having a first axis of rotation and a second axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the first axis of rotation and an insertion hole therein to receive the rack gear, the spinner main body including an external toy top mounting part rotatable about the first axis of rotation on a bottom surface of the spinner main body for receiving the toy top and an internal rotating mechanism, the rotating mechanism being rotated by pulling out the rack gear which rotates the toy top mounting part, wherein the spinner main body includes a base section in which the toy top mounting part is arranged and a rotary section provided to be rotatable about the second axis, and the insertion hole is formed in the rotary section so that a direction in which the insertion hole extends can be changed to be substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation by rotating the rotary section with respect to the base section about the second axis of rotation. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
