An arc-shaped slit 46 into which the tongue piece 34 of the variable performance ring 30 can be inserted from below is formed in the ceiling wall 43b that defines the annular recess 42 of the body 40. The length of the arc-shaped slit 46 is such that the tongue piece 34 can move sufficiently.

<Assembly method>
Next, an example of a method for assembling the top toy 1 will be described.
First, the shaft portion 10 and the variable performance ring 30 are assembled in a fitted state so that the protruding portion 15 of the shaft portion 10 is aligned with the concave portion 33 of the performance variable ring 30 from below. Next, this assembly is brought closer to the body 40 from below. At this time, the tongue piece 34 of the assembly performance variable ring 30 is aligned with a predetermined end of the arc-shaped slit 46 of the body 40 (FIG. 4A). This state is a state in which the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10 and the claw 44 of the body 40 do not overlap in the vertical direction. This state is a combined release state. Thereafter, the shaft portion 10 is rotated integrally with the performance variable ring 30 until the tongue piece 34 moves to the end opposite to the predetermined end with respect to the body 40 (FIG. 4B). The rotation in this case is relative rotation of the body 40 and the performance variable ring 30 and the shaft portion 10, and in FIG. 4B, the body 40 side is rotated with respect to the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30. The state that was made to be shown is shown. Then, the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10 and the claw 44 of the body 40 are overlapped in the vertical direction. This state is a complete combined state. Thereby, the lower surface of the claw 17 of the shaft portion 10 and the upper surface of the claw 44 of the body 40 are brought into contact with each other, the shaft portion 10, the performance variable ring 30 and the body 40 are coupled, and the top toy 1 is assembled.

"how to play"
Next, an example of how to play using the top toy 1 will be described.
In an example of this way of playing, the top toy 1 is rotated to fight the opponent's top toy 1.
In this case, the rotational force of the top toy 1 is charged by a launcher 50 as shown in FIG. The launcher 50 includes a disk (not shown) inside, and urges the disk in one rotation direction with a spring (not shown) and pulls a string (not shown) wound around the disk with a handle 51. The disk is rotated and the frame holder 53 is rotated. The rotation of the top holder 53 is transmitted to the top toy 1 by a fork (claw) 54 protruding downward to rotate the top toy 1. In this case, the fork 54 is inserted into the arc-shaped slit 46 of the body 40. When the handle 51 of the launcher 50 is pulled out, the rotation of the disk and thus the top holder 53 stops, while the top toy 1 still rotates due to the inertial force, so that the top toy follows the inclined surface 54a of the fork 54. 1 is removed from the frame holder 53. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 52 denotes a rod that can be moved in and out of the frame holder 53. When the top toy 1 is mounted on the top holder 53, the rod 52 is pushed onto the top surface of the top toy 1 and sunk in the top holder 53. This rod 52 is used, for example, for detecting whether the top toy 1 is attached or detached.

  The top toy 1 thus fired is rotated in a predetermined field. When the top toy 1 collides with the opponent's top toy 1, due to the impact force or rubbing caused by the collision, the body 40 has the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30. Force acts in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation. Accordingly, the body 40 rotates relatively in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the shaft portion 10 and the performance variable ring 30, and the protrusion 45 of the body 40 is a valley portion of the undulating portion (uneven portion) 13 a of the shaft portion 10. And is positioned there. When the position shown in FIG. 4A is reached, the claws 44 of the body 40 are detached from the claws 17 of the shaft portion 10, and the body 40 is separated from the shaft portion 10 by the rotational force of the top toy 1. Then, as shown on the right side of FIG. 1, the top toy 1 is disassembled.

<< Modification of the Present Invention >>
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to this embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary.

You may form with a material. Moreover, depending on the case, it is also possible to make the cylindrical part 13 and the inner periphery wall 43a slidably contact directly. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, one protrusion 45 is formed, but a plurality of protrusions 45 may be provided. Further, a plurality of protrusions 45 may be formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction to form a undulating portion similar to the undulating portion 13a. In this case, it is also conceivable that the resistance portion on the shaft portion 10 side and the resistance portion on the body 40 side are engaged in the coupled release state. In this case, it is preferable to configure so that the movement of the shaft portion 10 and the body 40 in the up-down direction and the disassembly of the shaft portion 10 and the body 40 are not allowed to be prevented by the resistance means in the uncoupled state.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the linear slit 14 was formed in the cylindrical part 13 and the slit division part which provides the undulation part 13a was made elastic, resistance means was formed with rubber | gum other elastic bodies, and resistance means You may give elasticity to itself.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the spring which contact | abuts the upper surface of the 1st nail | claw 44 and the lower surface of the 2nd nail | claw 17 is not provided, you may provide. The spring in this case is provided between the cylindrical portion 13 and the columnar body 16, for example.

  In the above-described embodiment, the top toy 1 that rotates clockwise when viewed from above has been described, but it is needless to say that the top toy 1 that rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above can be applied.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the example which made the battle between the top toys 1,1 rotated clockwise by the top view was demonstrated, the battle was carried out by the top toys 1,1 rotating counterclockwise by the top view You may let them.
Furthermore, it is possible to cause a battle between the top toy 1 that rotates clockwise when viewed from above and the top toy 1 that rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above.
In this case, due to the collision and rubbing of the top toys 1, 1, the body 40 rotates relative to the shaft portion 10 from the coupled release state to the coupled state. In other words, the shaft 10 and the body 40 are rotated in a tightening direction. Therefore, although the top toy 1 is difficult to be disassembled by collision and rubbing, in this case, it is possible to enjoy a battle in such a manner that the opponent's top toy 1 is played and the battle is won or lost. Of course, it is possible to battle with three or more top toys 1.
