Toy top

Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved spinning top toy capable of being movable while the top is spinning, and easily coupling a launcher for rotating and launching the top and a winder for providing the top with a rotational force.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A spinning top toy comprising:
 a launcher having a housing open on a portion of a side surface thereof and a top driver coupled to a top to supportingly rotate the top, engaging with a portion of a winder inserted into the open side surface of the housing, and transforming a movement of the winder into a rotary force to transfer the rotary force to the top;   the top coupled to the launcher; and   the winder having the portion inserted into the open side surface of the housing of the launcher in such a manner as to engage with the top driver, and adapted to move in a horizontal direction to rotate the top driver engaging therewith.   
     
     
         2 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein the launcher further comprises a top separator adapted to separate the top coupled to the top driver from the launcher. 
     
     
         3 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing is incised on the portion of the side surface thereof to insert the portion of the winder thereinto and comprises guides for guiding the winder inserted into the side surface of the housing to allow the winder to move in the horizontal direction. 
     
     
         4 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein the top driver comprises a gear formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof in such a manner as to engage with the winder. 
     
     
         5 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein the top separator pressurizes the top coupled to the top driver through upward/downward displacement to allow the top to be separated from the launcher. 
     
     
         6 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein the winder comprises a gear formed along one side surface of a strap-shaped body thereof in such a manner as to engage with the top driver and a groove formed on one side of the body to allow the winder to be inserted into the open side surface of the housing of the launcher. 
     
     
         7 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 6 , wherein the winder further comprises a protrusion formed on an end of the body to move the top separator in upward/downward directions.
