Spin message toy

Abstract

Spin message toy with a rigid rectangular block member, a right side string loop and a left side string loop. The block member has a broad front surface and broad rear surface. The string loops are attached to the left and right sides of the block so that it is capable of spinning on a horizontal plane when a user pulls in opposing directions on the string loops that have been twisted by the user just before operation. The front surface has a first partial message printed upon it. The rear surface has a second partial message printed upon it. The first and second partial messages form the illusion of a complete message when the rectangular block member is spun by the user.

1 . spin message toy comprising:
 a rigid rectangular block member;   a right side string loop;   a left side string loop;   said block member having a broad front surface and broad rear surface;   said block member having a top thin surface, a bottom thin surface and left and right side thin surfaces;   said block member having first and second apertures that each extend from said front surface to said rear surface;   said first aperture located near the left edge of said broad surface and positioned half way between the said top surface and said bottom surface;   said second aperture located near the right edge of said broad surface and positioned half way between the said top surface and said bottom surface;   said right side string loop attached through said right side aperture;   said left side string loop attached through said left side aperture;   said block capable of spinning on a horizontal plane when a user pulls on said string loops in opposing directions while said string loops are in a twisted condition;   said front surface having a first partial message printed upon it;   said rear surface having a second partial message printed upon it; and   said first and second partial messages forming the illusion of a complete message when said rectangular block member is spun by said user.   
     
     
         2 . An alternate embodiment of said spin message toy as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said front surface includes a first partial visual image printed upon it and said rear surface includes a second partial visual image printed upon it and said first and second partial visual images form the illusion of a complete visual image when said rectangular block member is spun by said user. 
     
     
         3 . Spin message toy as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a rigid right side cylindrical string loop retaining member and a rigid left side cylindrical string loop retaining member;
 said cylindrical members aiding in the user's finger's ability to hold said string loops in their ideal orientation for ease of operation of said spin message toy.   
     
     
         4 . Spin message toy as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said rectangular block member is hollow. 
     
     
         5 . Spin message toy as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said rectangular block member is molded from plastic and where said messages or said visual elements are molded into the said front and rear surfaces of said block member. 
     
     
         6 . Spin message toy as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said rectangular block member is constructed of paperboard and forms a hollow package that holds candy.
