Toy with rotating balls

Abstract

A toy according to the invention includes a substantially linear rigid grip to which two spacers are hinged, each one of the spacers being provided with a small ball at an equal and constant distance from the grip and rotating around the grip in such a way that the two small balls rotate around the grip. Each spacer is provided with stop elements suited to limit the rotation of the spacers, to transfer the quantity of motion to the other spacer and to prevent contact between the two small balls. Support elements are provided for the application or insertion of a cardboard element aligned with the rotation axis of the spacers.

1 . A toy comprising:
 a substantially linear rigid grip; and   two spacers hinged to the grip, both of said spacers being provided with a small ball at an equal and constant distance from the grip and rotating around said grip so that said two small balls rotate around the grip on a same plane orthogonal to an axis of said grip,   wherein each spacer is provided with stop elements suited to limit a rotation of the spacers, to transfer a quantity of motion to the other spacer and to prevent contact between the two small balls.   
     
     
         2 . The toy according to  claim 1 , wherein said stop elements are suited to make contact with suitable portions of the other spacer. 
     
     
         3 . The toy according to  claim 1 , wherein said stop elements are adjustable or removable from said spacers. 
     
     
         4 . The toy according to  claim 3 , wherein one or more of hardness or elasticity of said stop elements is such to stop the rotation of each spacer (D, D′) towards the other spacer. 
     
     
         5 . The toy according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the one or more of hardness or elasticity of said stop elements is such as to slow down the rotation of each spacer towards the other spacer. 
     
     
         6 . The toy according to  claim 1 , wherein each spacer is provided with a seat or a housing suitable for application or insertion of a cardboard element aligned with a rotation axis of the spacers. 
     
     
         7 . The toy according to  claim 1 , wherein each small ball is provided with a lightening hole in any position different from impact areas between the two small balls. 
     
     
         8 . The toy according to  claim 1 , wherein said spacers have any shape suited to maintain the small balls at the same distance from the grip.
