DEFINITION

Classification: 446/236

ROTATING OR HAVING VISIBLE ROTATING PORTION (E.G., SPINNING OR WHIRLING, NOT ROLLING):

(under the class definition) Device wherein the method of operation is to impart successive uninterrupted revolutions to the device or a visible portion thereof about an axis.

(1) Note. A device which rolls along a surface (e.g., wheeled) is not considered to be a "rotating" toy as defined above; nor is an exposed rotating element (e.g., gear, crank), the sole purpose of which is to drive another element.

(2) Note. For untethered devices, the rotational axis must pass through the rotating portion.
