Spinning Top Patent Diagram - Historical Toy Mechanics Explained #3740397 (License: Personal Use)

This technical diagram illustrates a classic hand-spun top design, featuring a conical body (1) with a central spindle (7) ending in a pointed tip for rotation. A looped string (8-9) wraps around the spindle and is pulled via a handle to impart angular momentum, while a small weight or cap (3) stabilizes the top’s axis. The numbered annotations indicate key functional elements such as the bearing cup (4), winding groove (11), and attachment points (2, 10).
