ABSTRACT:
The disclosure is directed to a combination toy top, projectile toy, and bath toy. In accordance with one embodiment of the disclosed toy there is provided a cup-shaped receptacle having a tip protruding from the outer apex thereof and a central stem extending upwardly from the bottom inner surface thereof. The receptacle has a retaining rim extending inwardly from the inner surface thereof at about the periphery thereof. The rim preferably comprises a plurality of inwardly extending tabs. A plurality of projectiles are provided, the projectiles preferably being annular rings having a sufficiently small outer dimension to fit between the stem and the rim of the receptacle, and a sufficiently large central opening to fit over the stem. In play, the receptacle is held by the central stem and spun. Rings accurately tossed toward the receptacle are either captured in the region between the rim and the stem, or, if very accurately tossed, encircle the stem and are retained thereon. The rim keeps captured rings from flying out by action of centrifugal force. In an embodiment of the invention, at least one gap is provided between the inwardly extending tabs so that rings in particular positions within the receptacle will be ejected during the spinning thereof. This feature adds an element of chance to the game.
