Fidget toy

Abstract

A fidget toy having a core and two endless rings operatively associated by a set of two gimbals mounted in orthogonal configuration each gimbal having an orthogonal pivot axis compared to the other gimbal.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fidget toy comprising:
 three successive objects comprising:
 a sphere being an innermost object of the three successive objects; 
 a first endless ring being an outmost object of the three successive objects; and 
 a second endless rings disposed between the sphere and the first endless ring, wherein the three successive objects are substantially concentric relative to each other; and 
   a set of two gimbals, one gimbal mounted on adjacent objects of the three successive objects, wherein adjacent gimbals have alternating orthogonal pivot axis, wherein the set of two gimbals allows the three successive objects to move between a nested condition and a plurality of unnested conditions so that in the nested condition an outer surface of each of the first and second endless rings are substantially coplanar, and wherein at least one third of the sphere projects beyond said outer surfaces in the nested condition while at least one-third is not visible in the nested condition, and   wherein the first endless ring is dimensioned and shaped to be secured between two diametrically opposing portions thereof by two digits of a human hand so that the sphere and second endless rings spin freely relative to the secured first endless ring.   
     
     
         2 . The fidget toy of  claim 1 , wherein at least approximately ten percent of the sphere is visible past the first and second endless rings after the fidget toy is moved to each of the plurality of unnested conditions. 
     
     
         3 . The fidget toy of  claim 2 , wherein an innermost gimbal and an outermost gimbal of the set of two gimbals have a orthogonal configuration so that they pivot about two axis oriented orthogonal with each other. 
     
     
         4 . The fidget toy of  claim 3 , wherein each gimbal comprises two diametrically opposing pivot points. 
     
     
         5 . The fidget toy of  claim 4 , wherein each pivot point comprises an outer surface tab and an inner surface slot. 
     
     
         6 . The fidget toy of  claim 5 , wherein each tab and slot are conical. 
     
     
         7 . The fidget toy of  claim 6 , wherein the fidget toy is manufactured by way of additive manufacture. 
     
     
         8 . A fidget toy comprising:
 three successive objects comprising:
 an innermost object of the three successive objects; 
 a first endless ring being an outmost object of the three successive objects; and 
 a second endless rings disposed between the innermost object and the first endless ring, wherein the three successive objects are substantially concentric relative to each other; and 
   a set of two gimbals, one gimbal mounted on adjacent objects of the three successive objects, wherein adjacent gimbals have alternating orthogonal pivot axis, wherein the set of two gimbals allows the three successive objects to move between a nested condition and a plurality of unnested conditions so that in the nested condition an outer surface of each of the first and second endless rings are substantially coplanar; and   wherein the first endless ring is dimensioned and shaped to be secured between two diametrically opposing portions thereof by two digits of a human hand so that the innermost object and second endless rings spin freely relative to the secured first endless ring.   
     
     
         9 . The fidget toy of  claim 8 , wherein an innermost gimbal and an outermost gimbal of the set of two gimbals have a orthogonal configuration so that they pivot about two axis oriented orthogonal with each other. 
     
     
         10 . The fidget toy of  claim 9 , wherein each gimbal comprises two diametrically opposing pivot points. 
     
     
         11 . The fidget toy of  claim 10 , wherein each pivot point comprises an outer surface tab and an inner surface slot. 
     
     
         12 . The fidget toy of  claim 11 , wherein each tab and slot are conical. 
     
     
         13 . The fidget toy of  claim 12 , wherein the fidget toy is manufactured by way of additive manufacture.
