ABSTRACT:
A floating buoyant toy is made of one or more mylar, metallicized (coated) film, or elastomeric bladders, or closed envelopes, or balloons encompassing a fixed volume of matter that is lighter than the ambient surrounding matter, a like number of spindle and collar combinations or equivalent rotating structures for rotatably engaging each base or aperture of each balloon, each spindle and collar or each equivalent rotating structure being connected to the bottom of a balloon, each collar being adapted to spin around a spindle, and each spindle being connected at each end to a perimetric enclosure and forming a part thereof, the perimetric enclosure forming a circular ring having an inside diameter sufficient to allow each balloon to pass unencumberedly and repeatedly through the ring, one balloon at a time, as the ring is twirled between two aspects, for example, the right and left hands.
