ABSTRACT:
A toy top device adapted for a variety of uses is provided which utilizes a solar energy conversion means for powering the top. The device includes a base structure having an electric motor mounted to it so that a motor shaft and rotor assembly of the motor remain stationary while a stator assembly of the motor rotates. An enclosure is mounted to the stator assembly and rotates with it. The enclosure includes a translucent top wall and a side wall which together define a cavity. The enclosure carries the solar energy conversion means in light communicating relationship with the top wall, and is electrically connected to the motor. The enclosure preferably has a design silhouette resembling a conventional toy top. It may be used as a conventional spinning toy top. However, the device is adaptable to various uses by simple interconnection of additional structure to the enclosure.
