ABSTRACT:
A treat-discharging roll toy is formed as a hollow body having at least two openings into its interior cavity, and having at least two deflector members, of functionally solid geometric form, that project from the inner surface of the body at locations proximate the openings. The toy is loaded with animal treats, such as artificial bones or other hard formed objects (normally edible), which are randomly discharged as the toy is rolled; the deflector structures orient the treats and promote movement toward the openings.
