ABSTRACT:
Spinning twisting string toys herein referred to as "humdingers" are disclosed which comprises one or more gel bodies having two or more substantially parallel holes approximately equal distance apart extending through the gel body transversely along a selected axis of rotation. The parallel holes are treaded with a string which is twisted and untwisted alternatively by a pull and release action in play. The parallel holes may be surrounded by an reinforcing material interlocked with the gel body about the vicinity surrounding the holes or each of the parallel holes may be fitted with a tear resistant hollow tube insert for preventing cutting by the shear forces of the twisting string(s). In the operation of the humdingers, the gel body, the hollow tubes, and the string(s) are made in such a manner so that they do not result in disastrously effect caused by the extremely high centrifugal and shearing forces generated during play.
