Spinner candy toy

A candy toy holder device which provides fun and visual pleasure for the consumer as well as providing a candy treat. The device includes an upper housing and a main housing which provides a support for a lollipop via a stationary stick holder secured to the main housing. The upper housing has one or more movable parts that perform a variety of movements. It may be constructed so that the movements include appendages moving around, up, down, in or out and the candy is designed to remain stationary whether or not the motion parts are active or inactive. The movements are activated by the use of a motor, a switching device and a power source. The power source is self contained within the main housing and the housing is designed in a manner that allows the battery to be replaced as well as the candy. Use of one or more gears and/or gearing systems allows the movements of parts.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
This invention is directed to a spinner candy toy and more particularly to 
a candy toy having a movable upper housing part from which a stationary 
candy pop is held stationary by a supporting candy stick which is inserted 
into a stationary candy holder. 
Heretofore, the inventors have obtained patents on different devices useful 
with a candy pop for consumption of the candy pop and for other pleasures. 
OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES 
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a candy pop 
for consumption by a user and to create a pleasurable movable part which 
can be operated by the user for their amusement and pleasure. 
Yet another object is to provide a candy pop in which the candy pop can be 
replaced by another pop when the one secured to the housing has been 
consumed. 
Still another object of the invention is to provide a candy pop device in 
which a housing part is movable relative to a candy stick supported by the 
housing and to a supporting handle. 
Still another object is to provide a removable and replaceable upper 
housing, each of which have different shapes and/or movements such as 
rotatable, up and down, in or out, i.e., a car spinning around on a track, 
a fox chasing a chicken, a girl chasing a boy, one's arm raising up and 
down, as well as any other movements. Also the housing may have different 
drawings, characters, figures, etc. 
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become obvious to those 
skilled in the art upon reading the specification and viewing the drawings 
.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
Now referring to the drawings, the different views illustrate an operative 
spinner candy toy wherein the same reference characters are used for the 
same operative parts throughout the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of a 
spinner device including a main housing 10 which can be clear plastic, a 
contact button control switch 12, an upper housing 14 which can be 
rotatable and/or have appendages which are movable relative to the upper 
body, a lollipop 16 on a stick 18 which is non-rotatably secured in a 
holder 44 which is secured to the lower body. FIG. 2 illustrates a clear 
plastic device illustrating a hinged cover 20 at the bottom which can be 
opened to insert or replace one or more batteries 22. The battery operates 
a motor 24 which is controlled by the switch 12. The switch can be an 
on-off type or one that functions only while pressed, in order to operate 
the motor. The motor drives a first vertical gear 28 which is rotatable 
around a vertical axis. The first vertical gear drives a first horizontal 
gear 30 via shaft 32, which in turn drives a second horizontal gear 34. 
The second horizontal gear drives a second vertical gear 36 which drives a 
third vertical gear 38 via a second shaft 40. The third vertical gear 
drives a fourth vertical upper housing drive gear 42 which is shown larger 
than the other gears in order to drive the upper housing at a slow rate. 
The fourth vertical gear rotates around a stationary candy stick holder 44 
which is secured at a lower end thereof to a cross piece 45 in the lower 
housing. The upper housing rotates around the candy stick holder which 
passes through the upper housing drive gear 42 which functions as a 
bearing. The upper housing drive gear 42 is provided with a locking flange 
46 which locks the lower end of the upper housing to the upper housing 
drive gear. 
The upper housing can be of any shape and can be decorated with any amusing 
decorative scheme. Different upper housings can be provided so that one 
housing can be removed and a different decorative housing can replace the 
removed housing. It is therefore obvious that the bottom of each housing 
must be the same so that they can fit into the locking flange. 
In operation, the switch 12 is closed to operate the motor. The motor then 
drives the gears which in turn drive the upper housing 14. Since the 
sucker stick is secured in a non-rotatable stationary holder, the sucker 
remains stationary for consumption. 
It would be obvious to one skilled in the art that the sucker could be 
secured to the upper housing so that the sucker would rotate with the 
upper housing. However, as shown, the sucker is fixed in the non-rotatable 
holder 44 and is not rotatable. 
Since the upper housing rotates, decorative parts could be added so that 
the decorative parts would move with the rotatable housing to present a 
pleasant view. The decorative parts could be made to move around, up and 
down, in or out, or any motion relative to the upper housing. 
The foregoing relates to preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention, 
it being understood that other variants and embodiments thereof are 
possible within the spirit and scope of the invention, the latter being 
defined by the appended claims.
