ABSTRACT:
A toy which, during play, is rotated in a horizontal circular path about a player's ankle and automatically counts the number of successive rotations of the toy. The toy includes a collar, a drum interconnected to the collar, and a counter mechanism. The collar comfortably fits around an ankle region of a player. The drum is connected to the collar at a predetermined distance therefrom and engages a ground surface during play. During play, the drum is connected along a generally straight line to the collar in a manner imparting centrifugal rotation thereto while simultaneously permitting the drum to revolve about the straight line between the collar and drum. The counting mechanism automatically counts and provides a visual indication as to the number of successive rotations of the toy about the ankle of the player as a function of a predetermined number of drum revolutions.
