However, since both the height of the base member and the shape of the distal end of the rotating shaft are set in advance, selection from a broad range of rotating characteristics and/or moving characteristics cannot be performed. Further, since when the upper layer member is fitted to the base member, they are coupled to each other in a state where the intermediate layer member is sandwiched therebetween, a problem arises in that backlash or play between these members occurs.

FIGS. 8A to 8D are front views showing a process of assembling the toy top. -
FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a toy top according to the present invention. A toy top A includes anupper layer member 1 for attacking an opponent toy top, anintermediate layer member 2 for determining a height of the toy top, alower layer member 3 for determining a manner of moving of the toy top on a playing board, and a screw-like coupling member 4 for coupling theupper layer member 1 and theintermediate layer member 2. - The
upper layer member 1 can be formed in a circular disc shape including anopening 5 through which thecoupling member 4 is inserted at a central portion thereof, and attackingportions 6 which contact an opponent toy top to attack the same are formed on an outer peripheral surface of theupper layer member 1 so as to project outwardly. A pair offit projections 7 is formed on a bottom of theupper layer member 1 symmetrically regarding theopening 5 so as to project downwardly (seeFIG. 3 ). By fitting thefit projections 7 intofit recesses 11 of theintermediate layer member 2 described later, assembling of theupper layer member 1 with theintermediate member 2 is made easy, and backlash or play between theupper layer member 1 and theintermediate layer member 2 in a circumferential direction of the toy top is eliminated. - The
intermediate layer member 2 can be formed in a cylindrical shape, an inner wall surface thereof being formed with athread 8 to configure ascrew hole 9 in which a screw 4 a of thecoupling member 4 described later is screwed. An upper outer peripheral surface of theintermediate layer member 2 bulges outwardly to form a bulgingportion 10 and a pair of thefit recesses 11 is symmetrically formed on the bulging portion 10 (seeFIG. 4A ). - A part of the
cylindrical portion 12 downwardly extending from the bulgingportion 10 configures anadjustment portion 13 functioning so as to determine a height of the toy top based upon a different length L for eachintermediate layer member 2, where anintermediate layer member 2 including anadjustment portion 13 having three stages, anintermediate layer member 2 including anadjustment portion 13 having two stages, anintermediate layer member 2 including anadjustment portion 13 having one stage, and anintermediate layer member 2 including noadjustment portion 13 are provided (seeFIGS. 6A and 6B , 6C and 6D, 6E and 6F, and 6G and 6H). By selecting anintermediate layer member 2 from theseintermediate layer members 2 each including theadjustment portion 13 having a different length L, the total height of the assembled toy top A can be changed, so that an attacking pattern such as whether the toy top A attacks an opponent toy top from below, from above, or from a right angle can be set. A pair ofengagement projections 14 engageable with a pair of arc-shaped openings 16 formed in thelower layer member 3 described later is formed on a lower end lateral surface of the cylindrical portion 12 (seeFIG. 4B ). - The
lower layer member 3 can be formed in an inverted circular-truncated conical shape. An approximately circular opening, in which thecylindrical portion 12 of theintermediate layer member 2 is inserted, is formed on an upper side of thelower layer member 3, and ashaft portion 15 is formed on a lower part of thelower layer member 3 so as to project downwardly. Thelower layer member 3 determines movement of the toy top on the playing board based upon a shape of theshaft portion 15. A moving state of the toy top A can be changed according to alower layer member 3 to be selected. When a distal end 15 a of theshaft portion 15 is flat as shown inFIGS. 7A to 7D , a peripheral edge of the distal end 15 a contacts a top of the playing board so that the degree of movement of the toy top A on the playing board changes in proportion to a size of a diameter of the distal end 15 a, and the degree of movement of the toy top A on the playing board becomes large in accordance with the increase of a diameter of the flat distal end 15 a. When the distal end is formed in a semi-spherical shape (seeFIG. 7E ), the distal end and the playing board configure a point contact so that the toy top A does not move around on the playing board and it remains in one place while waiting for the attack of an opponent toy top. - The pair of arc-
shaped openings 16 is formed outside theshaft portion 15 symmetrically regarding theshaft portion 15. An inner wall of each arc-shapedopening 16 partially protrudes toward theshaft portion 15 to form aprotrusion 17 so that theengagement projections 14 of theintermediate layer member 2 are engaged with theprotrusions 17, whereby thelower layer member 3 can be fixed to the intermediate layer member 2 (seeFIG. 5 ). - When the toy top having the abovementioned configuration is assembled, the
upper layer member 1, theintermediate layer member 2, and thelower layer member 3 are selected in accordance with the attacking characteristic and the rotating characteristic of the toy top to be assembled (seeFIG. 8A ). After the respective members are selected, thefit projections 7 of theupper layer member 1 are fitted into the fit recesses 11 of theintermediate layer 2, respectively (seeFIG. 8B ). - Next, the screw 4 a of the
coupling member 4 is inserted through theopening 5 of theupper layer member 1 from above to be screwed into thescrew hole 9 of theintermediate layer member 2, so that theupper layer member 1 is fixed to theintermediate layer member 2. In this state, theupper layer member 1 is brought into pressure-contact with theintermediate layer member 2 and fixed thereto by thecoupling member 4 without allowing for play (seeFIG. 8C ). - Next, the
cylindrical portion 12 of theintermediate layer member 2 is fitted into the approximately circular opening of thelower layer member 3 in a state where the arc-shapedopenings 16 of thelower layer member 3 are caused to face theengagement projections 14 formed on thecylindrical portion 12 of theintermediate layer member 2, and thelower layer member 3 is rotated in a circumferential direction to cause theengagement projections 14 to engage the lower sides of the protrusions 17 (seeFIG. 8D ), so that the toy top A comprising theupper layer member 1, theintermediate layer member 2, and thelower layer member 3 such as shown inFIG. 1 can be assembled. - In the assembled state of the toy top A, when the
lower layer member 3 should be replaced by another one, thelower layer member 3 is rotated in a direction reverse to the rotating direction at the time of mounting the lower layer member to disengage theengagement projections 14 from theprotrusions 17 so that thelower layer member 3 is detached from theintermediate layer member 2, and a newlower layer member 3 can be attached to theintermediate layer member 2 after the detachment. When theupper layer member 1 should be replaced by another one, since thecoupling member 4 is rotated reversely to undo the screw 4 a and disengage it from theintermediate layer member 2 so that theupper layer member 1 can be detached from theintermediate layer member 2, a newupper layer member 1 and theintermediate layer member 2 can be coupled to each other by fittingfit projections 7 of the newupper layer member 1 into the fit recesses 11 of theintermediate layer member 2 and fastening thecoupling member 4. Thus, the combination of the respective members can be changed easily. - Incidentally, when the intermediate layer member is replaced by another one, it is necessary to disassemble all of the upper layer member, the intermediate layer member, and the lower layer member once and perform a new assembling thereof.
