Abstract
A detachable combined toy top is disclosed. The toy top includes a main top and a subsidiary top, wherein the main top has a complete top structure including a top cap, a main top piece, a top axle sleeve and a top tip, and the subsidiary top includes a subsidiary top piece, an axle sleeve structure and a top tip. The subsidiary top has an elastic structure on its top, and the main top is actively connected to the top of the subsidiary top; by the elastic structure, when obstructed during spinning, the main top can be detached from the subsidiary top and ejected out, such that the two tops can spin on themselves separately. As a result, the top can divide into two in a game, which substantially improves its attack capability and the chance to win.

4 As shown in Fig, 3, in this embodiment, the elastic structure above is a spring base 7 provided on the axle sleeve structure 6 of the subsidiary top wherein the axle sleeve structure 6 has a cavity 61 to contain the spring base 7, with the upper end of the spring base 7 protruding above the axle sleeve structure 6 so that the spring base 7 IS compressed when the main top is Connected to the subsidiary top.
The assembled structure is shown in Fig. 2. The spring base 7 in this embodiment, includes a ring base 71 and a spring 72, wherein snap-fit tabs 73 is formed in downward extension of the ring base 71, while the wall of the cavity 61 is provided with strip snap-fit grooves 62; snag-fitting of the: snap-fit tabs 73 into the =
strip snap-fit grooves 62 allows the movement of the ring base 71 in the strip snap groove 6'2; the spring 72 is installed between the ring base 71 and the cavity 64 so that the ring base 71 can move elastically. The moveable connection between the main top and the subsidiary top in this embodiment is realized by linking the main top piece 2 and the subsidiary top piece 5, the two of which can be combined into =
one by pushing the main top onto the subsidiary top and compressing the spring base 7 until the adapting pieces of the main top piece 2: and subsidiary top piece 5 are connected together,:
= As shown in Fig 4, the: subsidiffly top piece 5 is designed to be a torus, wherein the adapting pieces of the subsidiary top piece 5 are the upper:
holders 51 at the upper edge of the inner surface of the torus of the subsidiary top piece 5. In this embodiment the junction plates 54 is provided on the inner ring of the =
subsidiary top piece 5: four junction plates 54 in total, evenly distributed in a ring.
Each of the left and tight ends of each junction plate 54 has an upper holder 51õ
=
which forms a shape with the junction plate 54 and has:
hemispherical bumps 52 on its lower surface. The outer surface of the: torus of the subsidiary top piece 5 adopts a bumpy texture, which promotes the aesthetics and attack capacity of the top at the same time; As shown in Fig. 5, in this embodiment, the main top piece 2 is also a torus, with another small torus in the middle, and the two: tortiscs are connected by four bracing bars 23. The adapting piece of the main top: are designed to be lower holders 21 for cooperating with the upper holders 51, wherein the lower holders 21 bulge on the edge of the inner surface Of the torus, one on. each of the left and right ends of each bracing, bar 21 There are two hemispherical pits 22 on the upper surface of each lower holder 21,, corresponding to a hemispherical bump 52. In this embodiment, there are a plurality of attack portions 24 on the outer surface of the main top piece 2 which protrude out from the edge: of the main top piece 2. The attack portions are cone-shape attaching blocks, six in total, with bumpy texture: between each two units, making the main top piece 2 the attacking top piece of the combined top. To ,a8Semble the two top pieces in thi5 embodiment, first stagged), align the lower holder 21 of the main top piece 2 and the upper holder 51 of the subsidiary piece 5, he, the lower holders 21 =
=
are aligned with the gaps in between the upper holders 51 of the subsidiary toy piece 5, and close up. Now, the lower holders: 21 of the main top piece 2 pass through the gaps and locate beneath the upper holders 51 of the subsidiary top piece 5. Then, turn the main top to fasten it onto the subsidiary top according to the desired direction to eject and spin the top. If a clockwise spin is desired, then turn the, main top counter-clockwise against the subsidiary top, so that the lower holders 21 on the right end of the bracing bars 23 fasten onto the upper holders 51 on the left side of the subsidiary top, meanwhile matching the 'interior hemispherical pits 22 to the hemispherical bumps 52 on the upper holder 51. If a counter-clockwise spin is desired, then turn the main top clockwise against the subsidiary top, so that the lower holders 21 on the left end of the bracing bars 23 fasten onto the upper holders 51 on the right side of the subsidiary top, meanwhile, matching the interior hemispherical pits 22 to the hemispherical bumps 52 on the =
upper holder Si. Therefore during a game, When the toy top is clashed for the first time by an impact force that is large enough to turn the main top piece 2, the main top will not. unlock immediately from the subsidiary top; instead, the hemispherical bumps 52 move to match with the exterior hemispherical pits 22 of the main top piece 2. When another clash occurs that turns the main top piece again, the hemispherical bumps 52 will slide out of the hemispherical pits 22, and the upper holders 51 and the lower holders 11 are completely dislocated. At this time, the spring base, 7 recovers its elasticity and ejects out the main top, so that the main top and the subsidiary top disengage and spin separately:
As shown in Fig. 3, in this embodiment, the axle sleeve structure: 6 of the subsidiary top has an enveloping edge 62 on the outward extension of its the upper edge, wherein the enveloping edge 62 has snap holes 63, The subsidiary top piece =
3 has a:snap block 53 on its lower part and a stop block on its upper part, Wherein =
the vertical distance between the snap block 53 and the stop block is equal to the thickness of the enveloping edge 62. The subsidiary toy piece 5 can be fastened onto the axle sleeve structure 6 by pushing the snap blocks 53 through the snap boles 63 and turning, The stop blocks in this embodiment are the junction plates 54 that connect the upper holders 51. The main top piece 2o1' the main top has a weight stack 8 connected to its top, which is fastened: between the Op cap 1 and top axle sleeve 3 by connection of the: top cap I and top axle sleeve 3. The main top piece 2 is fastened on the top of the top axle sleeve: 3, while the top tip 4 of the =
main top is installed on the lower tip of the top axle sleeve 3.
=
The top disclosed herein can be applied to top duel games. Many kinds of =
main top piece 2 can be derived from this design with different attacking = capaCities. The players can assemble the :main top according to their choices, =
assemble the subsidiary top, and decide whether the top should spin clockwise or counter-clockwise, Afterwards, the main top can be fastened onto the subsidiary = top by the movable connection between the main top piece 2 and the subsidiary top piece 5. At the start of the game, the dueling players can eject their tops onto the playground, where the two tops clash against each other; during the clashing, the main top of the combined top will turn in an opposite direction relative to the subsidiary top, until the hemispherical pits 22 on the main top piece 2: and the hemispheric:al bumps 52 on the subsidiary top piece 5 completely disengage, Then, the main top will jump up as ejected by the spring 72 of the spring base 7 on the subsidiary top, deviate from the subsidiary top as affected by the rotational inertia force, and land on the ground on its tip 4 to continue spinning; meanwhile, the subsidiary top also continues spinning after ejecting out the main top. As a result, the combined top divides into two independent tops that spin separately, which creates a two-against-one situation, substantially enhancing the chances to win.
Meanwhile, it promotes the fun of top duel games and also helps develop the manual dexterity and competitive capacity of the children.
Although the disclosure has described herein in terms of specific embodiments, such description should not imply any limitation to our disclosure.
