An activity toy for small children, consisting of a large circular hoop and a push rod for pushing the hoop so it rolls over a ground, the push rod having a loop at one end to form a handle, the other end having a U-shaped hook for fitting against the rim of the hoop. The hoop periphery rollably supports a weight through a frame and the frane further includes a speed indicator for indicating the speed of the hoop.
A game having a ring with a peripheral outer surface to be engaged with and rolled over a subjacent surface supporting the ring and a pusher for propelling the ring by rolling thereof. The pusher is a rod having a proximal and a distal end with the proximal end being configured to be gripped by a user. The distal end of the rod cooperates with the ring in such a manner that the user can selectively pull and push the ring through the pusher to accelerate and decelerate rolling of the ring over the surface.
A toy hoop and guide stick allows the hoop to be rolled along and controlled by an individual through use of the guide stick. A rectangular channel member is secured to an end portion of the guide stick and has a width equal to about twice the width of the hoop. This allows a wide variety of maneuvers and tricks to be performed by manipulating the hoop. In a second embodiment, the circular hoop has a hollow circular interior track receiving a plurality of elongated rolling members. The hoop is formed from a transparent material to allow observation of the rolling members. The rolling members including a phosphorescent material.
A more stimulating hoop which is able to be guided while rolling and which has sufficient internal friction so that it will not run away from a running child. The rolling play wheel comprises: a rim having an interior side portion, an exterior side portion, and opposite upright sidewalls, said interior side portion of the wheel having a track and a slide disposed in the track which remains in a lower portion of the wheel as it rolls along; a push guide stick having a wheel and a handle end portion, said wheel end portion adapted to receive the rim encircling the exterior side portion and the two upright sidewalls thereof.
An improved rolling toy device (10) which comprises a circular hoop (12). A component (14) is for loosely engaging the circular hoop (12). A person (15) can hold an end of the loosely engaging component (14) to push and pull the circular hoop (12) along a flat surface (16) and up and down stairs, without the circular hoop (12) getting away from the loosely engaging component (14). A facility (18) on the loosely engaging component (14) is for stopping the circular hoop (12) from rolling along the flat surface (16) and on the stairs.
A hula hoop is disclosed. In this hula hoop, the tubular hoop body 10 has an annular, polygonal or floral profile and contains a fluid filler 20, such as a liquid- or solid-phase fluid filler, within its cavity 30 while leaving an empty space in the cavity 30, thus being improved in its functional effect when used for physical exercise or in play due to a dynamic movement of the filler 20 within the cavity 30 during a rotating action of the hoop body about the body of a user. In the hula hoop of this invention, the fluid filler 20 is selected from water, brine, metal balls having a predetermined diameter, infrared radiation particles, and particular magnets. In addition, the fluid filler may consist of solid particles and liquid. In an embodiment, the hoop body 10 is fabricated using a plurality of modules, designed to be assembled and disassembled.
