ABSTRACT:
A spinner toy comprised of an elongated wire element looped back upon itself at its center and twisted to form a straight helical member, one end of which is the center loop and the other end of which is bent back upon itself and disposed in a plane passing through the member, with a first element slideably disposed on the straight member in abutment with the looped end. A spinner, formed by a pair of polyester film strips is disposed on the member angularly displaced apart from each other, each strip having first and second ends and being doubled back at a single intermediate orificed apex to bring its ends together with their orifices in register and secured together by an eyelet through which, and through the apex orifices, the member is passed, with a sleeve interposed and extending part way between the eyelet and the apex orifices, and a square plate between the eyelet and the sleeve. A second element is slideably disposed on the member between the orificed apexes and the second end of the helical member. When the first element is pushed rapidly against the eyelet along the helical member from the first end of the member toward its second end, the spinner rotates to assume a global configuration of decreasing axial length until it equals the length of the sleeve.
