ABSTRACT This invention is a toy in which two principal assemblies of parts are made to counter-rotate by a central internal coil spring, previously wound up by hand, whose tension is released when the weight of the toy, when it is placed on a flat surface, disengages a one-way clutch. It is equipped with a means of freeing the inner end of the spring from its arbor when the energy of the spring is spent, so that the parts may continue to counter-rotate by inertia without damage to the spring. It is equipped with a lighting system using flashlight bulbs and batteries to show flashing light through window apertures and circular holes in the rim of the upper part. The batteries are contained in a central tubular shaft, and the flashing effect is produced by a bimetal thermal relay in the circuit, controlled by a switch on the upper part. When in operation the toy rests on a tricycle gear of three hollow spheres on axles radially disposed in the base to allow free rotation of the base. All parts except light bulbs, batteries, wiring, contact parts, switch and relay, and parts necessarily made of metal such as springs, axles, a ring carrying a hook to engage the inner end of the main spring, and bolts for assembly, may be made of impact-resistant synthetic plastic insulating material by injection molding or other appropriate process. External parts are covered with paint to resemble gleaming metal, and window apertures and illumination holes are covered with thin tinted transparent plastic film.
