Abstract
A perpetual spinning toy is described. The spinning toy includes a body component and a motor housed within the body component. A power source is housed within the body component and electrically connected with the motor. Finally, a spinning wheel is connected with the motor. Thus, when the motor is activated, the motor spins the spinning wheel, thereby causing the toy to spin. The toy also includes an impact trigger and stop mechanism, both of which are connected with the body component. The stop mechanism is also operably connected with the impact trigger. The stop mechanism includes a latch that is connected with the impact trigger and a plurality of spring-loaded wings that are pivotally connected with the body component, such that upon impacting the impact trigger, the wings are released from the catch, causing them to swing outward.
