wSPlNNlNG-TOP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 543,787, datedd'uly 30, 1895.
Application filed May 7,1895. Serial in 548,396. on model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD SEGASSIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Orleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spinning-Tops; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and
. exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to an improvement in spinning-tops; and its novelty and many advantages will appear from the following des'cription and claim, when taken in connection with the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective viewof my improved top ready to be spun, and Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view of the same with the cord or twine removed.
Referring by letter tosaid drawings, A indicates the spindle,and B the revoluble wheel,
- both of which are made of metal or other suitable material. The s 'indle is of a sufiioient length and is pointedat both ends, as shown has a short stem e, both .of which may beformed integral with ,the wheel. The wheel may have holes f in its web, and its periphery may be increased in thickness, as shown at g.
' The top may be spun upon either end of the spindle, and by reason of the slidable collars and set-screws the wheel may be adjusted on the spindle. This will permit the wheel to be placed high or low, which changes the general appearance of the top and adds very much to its amusement as a toy. Should one of the points of the spindle become worn too much, and it is desired to change the position of the wheel in using the opposite end of 'the spindle, it is simply necessary to remove one of the collars, when the wheel can be slipped oil and inverted and then replaced. By reason of this adjustment the spinning of the top is 'rendered much easier by allowing the operator a bettergrasp on the spindle.
Tq spin it is simply necessary to wind the cord or twine upon the stem of the wheel, and i As an improved article of manufacture, the.
spinning top described, consisting essentially ot the spindle pointed at both ends, the wheelarranged loosely thereon,aud havingthe winding stem, and the two collars having screwtapped apertures and arranged on the spindle, one on each side of the wheel, and the set screws taking into said apertures, whereby the wheel may be adjusted on the spindle,
substantially as specified.
