Abstract
The present invention provides a toy comprising: a rotator which is capable of exhibiting a gyro effect; a driver connected to the rotator for rotating the rotator to allow the rotator to exhibit the gyro effect; and a device capable of causing the toy falling down or tilting to show a spin or a rotation in the same direction as a rotation of the rotator so that a rotational axis of the rotator rotates or swings to draw a cone-shaped locus thereof, thereby to reduce swing motion of the rotational axis or to narrow a spread of the cone-shaped locus, whereby the rotational axis of the rotator is forced and moved onto a center and vertical axis, and the toy comes stand right-up and stabilized in a standing right-up position.
