Definitions

  • a resilient ball having a pin or to provide on the bottom part of the top a helical spring, at the bottom end of which the spinning pin with a collar is inserted.
  • the spinning pin is mounted entirely independently of the spring provided for the jumping motion within a hollow shaft so as to be adjustable in such a manner that in the op- I erative position the top spins like an ordinary spinning top without being hindered by the spring, while when the pin is removed or completely pushed in, that is to say made inoperative, the top will jump .on the helical spring like any known jumping top.
  • the spinning pin is provided with a spring abutment, the object of which is to cause the spring abutment to be compressed to such an extent by the effect of the blow when the top is thrown down that the pin recedes in the interior of a hollow shaft and the jumping spring thus at first only comes into action.
  • the spring abutment of the spinning pin is -made such that it can support the weight of the top the spring will at once cause the spinning pin to project again, so that automatically the jumping motion will be replaced by a spinning motion.
  • a suitable device prevents the spinning pin from falling out.
  • Figs. 1 to 3 show the first mentioned constructional form in two positions.
  • 1 is the top itself with the axially inserted hollow shaft 2 for the spinning pin 3, which can be held and secured against falling out by means of a transverse pin 4 which can be pushed through it so as to engage in holes 5 or 6 in the spinning pin, or in any other suitable manner, in the operative position (Fig. 1) and the inoperative position (Fig. 2).
  • '7 is the jumping spring which lies loosely around the spinning pin and is fixed to the bottom of the top. 7
  • the numerals 1 to 4 and '7 are the same as in Fig. 1.
  • 9 is the spring abutment of the spinning pin provided in this constructional form. 8 is a longitudinal slot in the pin 3 through which the pin 4 passes, for guiding and limiting the movement of the pin 3 with the hollow shaft.
  • the spring 9 is sufficiently strong to support the weight of the top without being compressed to such an extent as to allow the top to rest on the spring '7.
  • a jumping and spinning top comprising a jumping spring fixed to the bottom of the top, a hollow shaft in the top, and a spinning pin mounted in the hollow shaft and capable of being retracted therein independently of the jumping spring, the pin normally protruding beyond the spring so as to allow the top to spin, and when retracted having its end short of the end of the spring so that the top can jump o the spring.
  • a jumping and spinning top comprising a jumping spring fixed to the bottom of the top, a hollow shaft in the top, a spinning pin mounted in the hollow shaft, a spring within the hollow shaft adapted to urge the spinning pin into the position in which it protrudes beyond the jumping spring so as to allow the top to spin, and a transverse pin engaging in a longitudinal slot in the spinning pin for guiding the latter.
