Hoop toy assembly

Claim 1

A hoop toy assembly comprising: a. A rigid hoop member fabricated from a tube bent into a circular shape and closed at both ends to form a continuous loop, said loop having an inside perimeter disposed toward the center of said loop and provided with a plurality of uniformly spaced depressions directed into said tube and integral therewith, the diameter of said inside perimeter being between 30 and 40 inches, the transverse section of said tube being uniform throughout the length thereof and having a maximum dimension between about 0.75 and 1.0 inch, said hoop having a weight between 5 and 13 ounces, b. a multi-spoked member comprised of a plurality of elongated transparent cylindrical tube spokes of equal length attached at their proximal ends to a hub, the distal ends of said spokes defining a circular locus and each being provided with a stub adapted to fit snugly within said depressions, each spoke containing confined solid or liquid species capable of undergoing gravity-induced motion in response to rolling action of the hoop toy assembly, said multi-spoked member possessing sufficient flexibility so that it can be deformed when desired for engagement and disengagement with respect to said hoop, and c. a pair of multi-lobed extensions mounted equidistantly on each side of said hub, and comprised of elongated hollow lobes containing solid or liquid species confined in a manner such that rolling motion of said hoop toy assembly will cause said confined species to travel from one lobe to another.
