Abstract
A toy top capable of continuing to spin without its spinning being abruptly stopped by contacting a playing surface when the toy top wobbles with a reduction in rotational speed so as to spin longer than an opponent toy top. A toy top (A) includes a shaft portion (41) having a circular shape in cross-section and adapted to come into contact with a playing surface (b) of the playing board (B) for serving as a center of, rotation when the toy top (A) spins; a rotating plate (5) having an insertion hole (51) of an inner diameter greater than an outer diameter of the shaft portion the rotating plate (5) being attached to the shaft portion (4l) so as to freely rotate around the shaft portion (41) while the shaft portion (41) is inserted through the insertion hole (51} and an engagement means (44, 53) for permitting the rotating plate (5) to freely rotate and preventing the rotating plate (5) from detaching from the shaft portion (41) when the rotating plate (5) is attached to the shaft portion (41).
