ABSTRACT:
A bouncing toy having a base supported by four springs-attached balls to give the base a bounce while maintaining stability. Central to the base is another spring attached ball having a cylindrical upright member mounted thereon. Within the cylindrical member are a series of radially extending pegs arrayed spirally to form a helix. Mounted to the base and surrounding the cylindral member is a hollow shaft including a rotatable wheel mounted thereon, the wheel having a helix-structured shaft connected thereto which is disposed to engage the radially extending pegs. Movements of the central ball causes the pegs and shaft to engage resulting in rotation of the shaft and attached wheel. The up and down movement of the toy causes the wheel to rotate in opposite directions until the toy comes to a complete stop. Audio devices are arrayed in proximity to each of the supporting balls so that the movements of the balls creates an environment which actuates the audio devices rendering various tones as the toy bounces.
