ABSTRACT:
A table top item, for example, a small cup, is made mobile by operation of a concealed spring-back rolling motor after the motor has been manually energized. A conventional spring-back motor, as used in automobiles models, is the motor for the table novelty device. Other items can be mobilized, for example, ashtrays, candy dishes, condiment holders, toothpick holders, etc. For a cup, a tilt is added to the cup body to prevent spillage of liquid contents when the cup decelerates in its travel. In use, a sending person grasps the novelty device and drags it backwards across a table top surface so as to rotate the motor wheels in the direction that "winds up" the motor. Upon release, the device travels in the other direction,
