Top toy

Abstract

A top toy includes a shaft and a trunk part. The shaft includes a constricted part. The trunk part is connected to the shaft, and includes a shaft support unit and an elastically locking part. The elastically locking part is configured to grip the constricted part. The shaft being movable between a first position and a second position higher than the first position in the axial direction. The shaft is held at the first position by the elastically locking part. The elastically locking part includes a first sliding contact part. The shaft includes a second sliding contact part being slidably in contact with the first sliding contact part. The elastically locking part is elastically deformed when the shaft is pushed to the second position in the shaft hole by an outside impact, and is configured to move the shaft part to the first position when the outside impact disappears.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A top toy comprising
 a shaft including a constricted part; and   a trunk part being connected to the shaft, the trunk part including a shaft support unit and an elastically locking part,   the shaft support unit having a shaft hole to which the shaft is inserted,   the elastically locking part configured to grip using elastic force the constricted part,   the shaft being movably configured in the shaft hole in an axial direction between a first position and a second position higher than the first position in the axial direction,   the shaft being held at the first position by the elastically locking part,   the elastically locking part including a first sliding contact part,   the shaft including a second sliding contact part being slidably in contact with the first sliding contact part when the shaft moves in the axial direction,   the elastically locking part being elastically deformed when the shaft is pushed to the second position in the shaft hole by an outside impact,   the elastically locking part being configured to move the shaft part to the first position when the outside impact disappears.   
     
     
         2 . The top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein
 at least one of the first siding contact part and the second sliding contact part is an inclined surface.   
     
     
         3 . The top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the shaft includes a flange below the constricted part,   the flange abuts a lower surface of the shaft support unit when the shaft is in the second position.   
     
     
         4 . The top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the shaft is removably inserted in the shaft hole.   
     
     
         5 . The top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the constricted part has a recess that is divided by partitions in a circumferential direction, and   a part of the recess is fitted with the elastically locking part.
