SPINNER ACCESSORY

DESCRIPTION

Object of the Invention

The present invention relates to an accessory for a spinner that makes it possible to play with it with an operation similar to a spinning top or gyroscope.

Background of the invention

At present, anti-stress toys called spinners or fidget spinners are known, comprising a body with a central axis and two, three or more arms, with a radially homogeneous distribution of the masses so that it has a balanced rotation with respect to the central axis. Both the center and the arms have holes where some rings or bearings are fitted to catch at both ends with the fingers and spin the toy around the axis of any of these bearings, which produces a certain relaxation for the users.

However, there are no known accessories for spinners that are capable of leaving them spinning on a surface, similar to a spinning top.

Description of the invention

The spinner accessory of the invention has a configuration that allows the use of the spinner as a spinning top or gyroscope, and according to the invention, in its simplest embodiment it comprises: -a launch cable, -a reel for winding the cable of launching, and provided with means for coaxial and solidary placement in rotation in the central hollow of the spinner, and -a tip fixed inferiorly and coaxially with the reel.

In this way, coupling the reel directly in the central hollow of the spinner and winding the launch cable and supporting the tip on a surface, giving impulse to pull the cable the spinner rotates and the homogeneous radial distribution of its masses maintains the verticality of the axis central, transforming the spinner into a spinning top or gyro increasing its versatility and playability.

Description of the Preferred Embodiment

The spinner accessory (1) of the invention comprises (see fig. 1): -a launch cable (3), -a reel (4) for winding the launch cable (3), and provided with means for coaxial and supportive placement with the rotation in the central hollow (20) of the spinner (2), and -a tip (5) fixable inferiorly and coaxially with the spool (4).

The tip (5) comprises a frustoconical end body (50), so that the homogeneous radial arrangement of its mass is maintained. Its vertex (51) can be rounded as seen in Figure 5, facilitating its vertical positioning, or highlighted as seen in Figure 6.

As a very preferred variant, as shown in the figures, the invention has provided that the accessory (1) can comprise a finger support plug (6) (see fig. 6), which is coaxially fixed on the reel ( 4) on the opposite side of the tip (5) through a bearing (7) to allow a fixed (non-rotating) support of the finger (100) while printing the reel spin (4) during the spinner launch ( 2).

Likewise, ideally between the tip (5) and the reel (4), the bearing (7) is inserted, or a second bearing of its own, not shown-in to allow the spinner to rotate without turning the tip and being able to catch it. with the fingers during the turn or launch for example. For this purpose, in this specific example, an upper projection (53) is provided in the tip (5) that only makes contact with the inner bushing (71) of the bearing (7), as seen in fig 5.

As for the means for coaxial and solidarity positioning in rotation of the reel (4) in the central hollow (20) of the spinner (2), they preferably comprise an extension (40) of said reel (4), formally and dimensionally suitable to fit in said central hollow (20) of the spinner (2) (see fig. 5), since it is a simple configuration that avoids the arrangement of other parts, and is economical and easy to place and remove. Said extension (40) preferably has a cylindrical outer contour of equal diameter to that of the central hollow (20) of the spinner (2) (see fig. 4).

It is envisioned that the reel (4) comprises a central axial internal recess (42) to configure a seat for the outer bushing (70) of the bearing (7) (see fig. 5); understanding the tip

(5) and / or the plug (6) projections for mutual bonding - so that the accessory is assembled - which are running through the inside of the inner bushing (71) of the bearing (7). More specifically, in the preferred embodiment shown in the figures, the plug (6) comprises an axial projection (60) (see Figs. 1 and 5) of greater height than the height of the inner bushing (71) of the bearing (7) and diameter substantially the same (to enter it with adjustment or very slight clearance), and said projection (60) comprising at its end fixing means to the tip (5). Said fixing means to the tip (5) can be, for example, fittings with adjustment (55), expansive rings (not shown), and / or threaded joints (62), which in this case comprise a threaded stud (66) of both pieces (see fig 5).

In addition, the reel (4) ideally comprises a throat (41) for grouped winding of the launch cable (3), as seen in Figure 6. Said cable (3) ideally comprises a handle (30) with a socket (31). ) to receive a widening (32) end of the cable (3). In addition, the handle (30) comprises reliefs (33) adapted to the fingers improving ergonomics. It is very preferred that said shooter (30) comprises some

holes (34) for fixing by attachment of any of the accessory elements (extension

(40) of the reel (4) and / or projection (60) of the cap (6)).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and since the description made corresponds only to one

example from realization favorite from the invention, be will understand that inside from its

essential multiple variations of detail may be introduced, also protected, which

may affect the shape, size or manufacturing materials of the assembly or its

parties, without implying any alteration of the invention as a whole, delimited

only by the claims provided in the following.
