An amusement toy comprising an annular body which has an outer peripheral surface containing profiled hoop edge portions at its outboard edges which are joined by a squat barrel-shaped portion, such edge portions being integral with vertical side wall portions which are somewhat bulged in an outboard direction and which terminate at an inner rim. A gripping bar joins the rims and a cover is rigidly connected across the rims which bulges inwardly towards the center of the toy to form with peripheral surfaces a channel of about 120.degree. of arc, the end of the channel being about 30.degree. of arc from the bar. All parts of the toy except the gripping bar are composed of a rigid resin material and all surfaces are compound curves. A person who places himself in the channel and holds onto the gripping means is capable of causing the toy to rock on a level surface and by sufficient rocking to roll over whereby the cover joining the rims holds the person within the channel.

A hand truck comprising a hoop-like outer wheel of substantial diameter having a hoop-like rim mounted concentrically therein for relative movement therebetween. The inner rim is adapted to receive and support articles which are to be hand transported by the truck in a hoop-like fashion. There may be provided a platform or a fork member supported on the rim members for use in picking up, carrying and discharging the articles transported by the truck.

An amusement device comprising a closed loop formed of a plurality of hingedly connected slats connected at facing edges to permit a user to walk along the top of the loop which moves in an opposite direction or to move the vehicle from inside the loop; another aspect resides in a user supporting roller-sled supported to roll over the lower surface of the interior of the loop to permit riding movement of the device down inclined surfaces while another embodiment employs a composite loop consisting of two relatively movable loops joined by a continuous slide bearing with either loop being movable to provide a steering effect.

This device consists primarily of a pair of parallel spaced-apart sides, which are arcuately curved on the bottom, so as to be in rocking-like engagement with a ground, or floor, surface. The device includes, in the upper portion, between the sides, a rotatable member, upon which a person stands and holds onto, for effecting a somersault motion, and the device further includes a transverse member on each end of the sides, so as to enable the person using it, to somersault safely.

A tumbling toy that permits children to be received and supported within a central tube. The tumbling toy includes a pair of wheels that support the tube. A pull is connected to the tumbling toy, allowing the tumbling toy to be pulled over the ground or other support surface. As the tumbling toy is moved over the ground or support surface, it follows that children supported within the tube will be subjected to a tumbling action.
