Rotating amusement device

Claim 1

An amusement device comprised of two or more interlocked circle members positioned along a common plane and having substantially parallel central axes, with each of the circle members being comprised of compositional elements which are rotatable around the central axis of the circle member, wherein a portion of the compositional elements of each of the circle members laterally overlaps a section of at least one other circle member along the common plane, whereby said portion is a common part of both the overlapping circle member and the circle member being overlapped, with each of the circle members being independently rotatable around its own central axis and with the compositional elements of the circle members being thereby rotatable into any or all of the overlapping circle members, wherein each of the circle members is comprised of a fixed central element having the central axis passing therethrough and the circle members further having at least three compositional elements interlocked with the fixed central element and rotatable therearound, whereby the compositional elements are rotatable into the overlapping portions; wherein the fixed central element, and compositional elements are each comprised of three layers, all substantially perpendicular to axes of the circle members, with each of the layers of each of the elements being laterally adjacently complementary in shape to co-planar layers of adjacent elements along said plane, and with the elements being thereby laterally co-fitted, whereby adjacent elements are axially interlocked, wherein the fixed central element is comprised of upper and lower layers connected by a central layer laterally radially extending along said plane from between the upper and lower layers; wherein the compositional elements are each comprised of upper and lower compositional element layers connected by a central compositional element layer extending inwardly from the peripheries of both of the upper and lower compositional element layers thereby defining a spacing between the upper and lower compositional element layers with the spacing being sized to accommodate a portion of the laterally radially extending central layer of the fixed central element therewithin; wherein the circle members have exposed outer peripheral edges which define the spacing between upper and lower compositional element layers, with a frame member closely encircling the exposed peripheral edges to maintain lateral interlocking of all of the elements, with the circle members being freely rotatable within the frame member; and wherein the frame member is sandwiched and fully contained within the spacing between upper and lower element layers of the compositional elements, with the outer peripheral edges remaining exposed for manual manipulation.
