(Cl. 46-40) The invention relates to a top with a figure with a supporting pin and the figure with a holor figures pertaining thereto, the said figure or low spindle fitting loosely on the supporting pin.
figures representing a person or persons, animals The legs 6 of the figure are bent backwards and or objects of a different nature. are so long that when the supporting pin 3 is 5 The purpose of the invention is the construcplaced into the sleeve 2 of the top, they will touch 5 tion of a toy for children, which may also be used with their lower ends 1,;the surface on which as an advertising means. the top is spinning, before the round -part 5 According to the invention the top is provided touches the bottom of the hollow spindle 2.
with a detachable piece representing a figure (as As mentioned above the said lower ends 1 are for instance one or more persons, animals, etc.) bent backwards so that they are not in the plane 10 which piece may be placed with a great deal of of the drawing, but are to be imagined a. few cenplay and freely slidable in an axial direction by timetres back of the drawing, so that the line means of a support, into the spindle of the top, connecting the said lower ends crosses the axis the said figure having two legs, feet or similar of the top at right angles.
extending parts, the length of which is taken so, The figure may be made of a more or less re- 5 that when the detachable piece is placed on the silient material, as for instance thin paste board. spinning top, the lower ends of the said legs or When the topis spinning and the figure is similar extending parts will be continuously in placed with the pin 3 into the bore of the spintouch with thesurface on which the top is spindle '2, the figure will go through the motions ning. of askating or dancing person. 20
The line connecting the said lower ends is ly- I claimz' ing outside of any plane of symmetry of the top, 1. A top having a bore at the centre thereof, while the vertical line from the centre of gravity extending downwardly a substantial distance, a of the detachable piece passes between the said stem adapted to extend into said bore, a figure lower ends and is at an appreciable distance from attached to said stem and balanced with re- 25 the vertical line through the centre of gravity of spect to said stem in one plane and unbalanced the supporting member. in a plane perpendicular to said first plane.
The efiect of placing the detachable piece on 2. The device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the spinning top is that the tilting of the detachthe bore is of sufficiently greater diameter than able piece about its lower ends, thereby touching the stem to afford play therein and the figure 30 the top, will impart a forward movement to the has extensions downwardly of suificient length top, so that the figure will perform skating or to reach when assembled, the surface upon dancing motions. which the top is spun.
The friction of the lower ends of the figure on 3. The device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the surface on which the top is spinning will prethe bore is of sufficiently greater diameter than 35 vent the figure from spinning around with the top. the stem to afford play therein and the figure The invention is further explained by means has two diametrically opposed extensions downof the drawing. wardly of sufiicient length to reach when as- In the drawing Fig. 1 is front elevation partly sembled and in normal position, the surface upon 40 in section and Fig. 2 is a partial side view. which the top is spun. 40
In the embodiment represented in the drawing 4. A figureadapted to be used with a top and the p is provided with a hollow Spindle 2 having a body portion, a median longitudinally having a funnel p d pp end into which the extending stem and two diametrically opposite supp i p 3 of the-Figure 4 may be introlongitudinal extensions curved to the rear with v ducedrespect to-the frontal plane of the stem and body 45 The supp i p has a hi n' e portion and of greater length than said stem. ing in a rounded part 5. Of course this construction may be reversed, so that the top is provided BAREND L XANDER. CANTER.
