Roll-o-wheel toy device

Claim 1

A roll-o-wheel toy device comprising, in combination: a circular hoop formed of a length of seamless extruded plastic hollow tubing of a substantially circular cross-section; said tubing having a first end and a second end; said first end of said tubing being of the same cross-section configuration as the length of said tubing; said second end of said tubing being of a reduced exterior diameter having an exterior diameter thereof adapted to be snugly telescopically received within said first end of said tubing; an annular shoulder portion defined between said reduced portion of said second end of said tubing and said main body length of said tubing, said shoulder being of a truncated conical configuration having its truncated apex portion formed contiguous with said reduced portion and having its base portion formed contiguous with said main body length of said tubing; the outermost edge of said first end of said tubing adapted to engage said shoulder portion of said second end of said tubing when said reduced portion of said second end is axially inserted into said first end; a coating of adhesive disposed about the exterior circumference of the cylindrical side walls of said reduced portion of said second end of said tubing and engaging the juxtapositioned interior circumferal surfaces of said first end of said tubing when the reduced end portion is telescopically inserted into the first tubing end to fixedly secure said ends of said tubing permanently together and seal the hollow interior of said tubing from the atmosphere; a liquid disposed in said hollow interior of said tubing to provide varying characteristics to said hoop as to weight and stability as it is rolled along on its peripheral edge with the liquid constantly shifting its position within the hollow tubing; a guide stick for effecting the propelling, rolling, guiding and maneuvering of said hoop along any desired path, said guide stick including a shaft, a handle portion, a head portion, a guide rod, and a push block; said shaft being of an elongated cylindrical configuration having said handle portion formed at the top end thereof and having said head portion formed along the bottom end thereof; said handle portion being of a tubular configuration formed integrally with said shaft and bent at an angle to the axis of said shaft rearwardly thereof; a handle member received about the projecting free end of the handle portion and provided with a series of adjacent finger gripping partially annular grooves disposed along a bottom segment of the circumference thereof adapted to receive the fingers of an individual''s hand firmly therein to assist the individual in the firm holding and guiding of the guide stick; said head portion being formed integrally with said shaft and axially aligned therewith; said guide rod being of an elongated cylindrical configuration fixed at a mid point to the bottom end of said head portion and projecting symetrically from opposite sides of said head portion normal to the plane defined by said shaft and said handle portion; said push block being of elongated box like rectangular configuration having a face surface and a back surface with the back surface affixed to said head portion and the face surface projecting outwardly therefrom in a direction opposed to the direction of said handle portion and with the push block extending longitudinally along said head portion from a position adjacent said guide rod to a position spaced upwardly therefrom along said head portion; an arcuate concave groove extending longitudinally completely through the face surface of said push block and adapted to engage the peripheral edge of said hoop therealong for use in the maneuvering of said hoop by said guide stick.
