| Abstract: |
A toy has a single hollow wheel with a rim and opposite sides, a shaft carried by the wheel, the wheel and shaft being journaled for relative rotation of the wheel and shaft, and the shaft having at least one end projecting at least a substantial distance beyond a side. A counter-weight is carried by and fixed against rotation to the shaft, and is wholly enclosed within the wheel. A figure is fixedly mounted on one projecting end of the shaft, on one side of the wheel and the counter-weight and figure are so positioned as to permit rotation of the wheel with respect to them. The relative weights of the figure and counter-weight are such as to keep the figure above the lowermost reach of the rim of the wheel when the wheel is on a horizontal surface.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A toy comprising a single hollow wheel having a wide rim, flat in transverse section, and opposite, flat sides; a shaft carried by said wheel and journaled in said sides for relative rotation of said wheel and shaft, said shaft having at least one end projecting outwardly a substantial distance beyond a side; a counter-weight carried by and fixed against rotation to said shaft, said counter-weight being mounted on said shaft between said sides wholly within said wheel, and a figure secured to only one projecting end of said shaft, said weight and said figure being sufficiently free of the wheel to permit rotation of said wheel with respect to said weight and said figure, said counter-weight being such as to maintain the said figure in a position above the lowermost reach of the rim of said wheel when said wheel is on a horizontal surface, and to locate the center of gravity of the toy within said wheel.
