Description

“FIDGET DEVICE WITH TENTACLES”

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:

The present invention relates to toys and games, and more particularly relates to a rotational, portable, multi-link fidget toy with compartment or hollow cavity for accommodating small items.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:

Fidget toys, also known as gadget toys or rotating sensory devices, are small objects manipulated by the hands. These self-regulating toys help individuals focus, remain calm, stay attentive, promote active listening, relieve stress, and manage anxiety through easy and repetitive hand movements. They also aid in developing fine motor skills in children. Fidget toys are particularly beneficial for reducing stress, anxiety, and symptoms in children and adults with disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Individuals with these disorders often have short attention spans that hinder their learning and growth, with associated nervousness persisting throughout their lives.

Various research studies have observed that the use of toys or sensory input devices during learning and working can mitigate symptoms and improve academic performance in children and adults with these disorders. Additionally, fidget toys help alleviate stress and anxiety, promoting calmness in restless or stressed individuals, and enhancing concentration in office environments. These toys are also referred by therapists and educators to manage stress and improve focus in patients and children respectively. Numerous fidget toys are known in the prior art such as fidget spinners, fidget cubes, tactile toys, fidget poppers, sensory rings, bands, slime, putty, tangle toys, etc. Additionally, there are wide variety of toys available in the market that offer rotational or flying actions. However, the existing rotational toys typically employ basic mechanisms with limited user interaction. Furthermore, these fidget toys exhibit restricted movement of the arms or links, resulting in a less engaging play experience.

The United States Patent Application No. US2018345155A1 to Philgreen, Lance E and Levsen, Clark A teaches a fidget toy that includes a body having central body portion and plurality of arms, a bearing assembly coupled to the central body portion and a plurality of spherical components that are rotatably supported adjacent to the distal end of respective arms. The body is made of synthetic resin whereas spherical components are made of metal.

Further, the PCT Application No. WO2020124489A1 to Rao, Haishan discloses a flying fidget spinner that includes a fixed part such as fixed shaft and clamps, four rotor units, a controller, a frame body, four sub-frames, sensors, etc. To operate the fidget toy, two fingers clamp the clamping body while another finger toggles the sub-frame to initiate rotation of the rotor unit. Once the rotor unit reaches a preset speed, the controller manages the flying fidget.

However, these fidgets exhibit restricted movement in only one direction, as all the arms or links are attached to the same axis, diminishing the play experience. Additionally, these toys need to be held with the fingers of one hand while the other hand rotates the arms or links, requiring the use of both hands. Furthermore, they lack a proper grip for holding during spinning.

Thus, there is a need for a portable, durable, rotational fidget toy with multiple arms or links that rotates in multiple directions and include compartments for accommodating small items. There is further need of a multi -link fidget that enhances motor skills, promotes cognitive engagement and mitigates stress.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:

The present invention discloses a fidget device with tentacles that includes a cylindrical body, a first cap and a second cap that are attached to opposite ends of the cylindrical body. Further, the present invention includes a pair of tentacles that are rotatably mounted on the cylindrical body via ball bearings; and a spacer that is positioned between the pair of tentacles. It is noted that the cylindrical body includes a grooved section on its outer periphery to enhance user grip and facilitate better control and manipulation of the toy. Further, the cylindrical body of the present invention includes an internal container that is accessible by removing the second cap. This container holds small items such as toffees, chocolates, sweets, small gifts and the like.

It is noted that the tentacles of the present invention are separated by the spacer that is positioned on a cylindrical rod that is coaxial and concentric with the centre of the cylindrical body, ensuring balanced rotation. Further, the first cap is snap-fitted onto a first end of the cylindrical body, preventing the tentacles from sliding off the cylindrical rod, and the second cap is snap-fitted onto a second end of the cylindrical body, enclosing the internal container. It is also noted that the pair of tentacles are rotatable around the cylindrical rod in a 360° direction, and each tentacle includes a ball bearing that facilitates this rotation. Each of the tentacles includes a stopper that is defined by a stopper edge that prevents the tentacles from slipping along the cylindrical rod. Also, the ball bearings allow the tentacles to rotate freely when manual force is applied by the user. Furthermore, the tentacles are positionable and rotatable independently of each other, allowing for complex and interactive play patterns.

It is noted that the tentacles include a base with a ring-shaped aperture that encloses the ball bearing, a stem that connects the base to the head. Further, the tentacles include a head with a bulging structure that includes grooves. It is noted that the head's structure shifts the center of mass of the tentacle towards the head of the tentacle. Also, the flat portion of the base allows the tentacles to be positioned upright when not in use. Furthermore, the arcuate structure of the stem advantageously allows free rotation of the tentacles by avoiding any collision between the heads while the tentacles are either stationary or in rotation, complementing the flying action. It is noted that the tentacle rotates in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions in coordination with the head's bulging structure and grooves, independent of direct manual force on the tentacle itself.

It is further noted that the toy is configurable such that the shaft becomes part of the main body, front lid, or back lid, or existing as an individual component, and attachable to other parts via threading systems, press locks, or similar attachment methods. Also, the shaft length is adjustable within the body to incorporate multiple links, allowing for enhanced functionalities such as enabling the attachment of one, two, or multiple links. Further, it is noted that the toy is used as a lifestyle accessory, such as a keychain, by attaching a key ring and chain to the body parts.

The tentacles 116 and 120 are positioned on one side of the body 104, however, the tentacles 116, 120 are not centrally located. The tentacles 116 and 120 rotate relative to and around the central axis of the body 104. The tentacles 116/120 are capable of rotating in the same direction or in opposite directions relative to the body 104. According to this embodiment, the first cap 108 is permanently affixed to one end of the body 104. The second cap 112 is designed to be removably attached to the other end of the body 104, preferably using a snap-fit mechanism. In another embodiment, both the first cap 108 and the second cap 112 are removably attached to the opposite ends of the body 104.

The toy 100 is securely gripped by the user. The user curls their fingers around the grooved section 128 of the cylindrical body 104, leveraging the grooves for a firm hold. By applying manual force to the body 104, the user induced rotation in the tentacles 116 and 120. This rotation is achieved by specific movements like up/down and also turning the body 104, allowing the tentacles 116 and 120 to move relative to the body 104. The grooves provide enhanced grip, enabling the user to exert sufficient force to rotate the tentacles in either the same direction or opposite directions. It is understood that this interactive feature adds to the play value of the toy, engaging the user in manipulating the tentacles 116/120 for flying action.

Referring now to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the Fidget device with tentacles 100, in accordance with the present invention, is described in more detail. The tentacles 116 and 120 are approximately identical. The first tentacle 116 includes a head 200, a stem 204, and a base 208. Similarly, the second tentacle 120 includes a head 200’, a stem 204’, and a base 208’. The head 200 is approximately conical and includes multiple layers from top to bottom. The stem 204 is an arcuate body serving as a connector between the head 200 and the base 208. The base 208 has a ‘C’ shape, with its open end allowing the tentacle 116 to be press -fitted onto the body 104. One side of the body 104 features a pair of arcuate grooves 300. The bases 208 and 208’ of the tentacles 116 and 120 are rotatably positionable within their respective grooves 300.

The tentacles 116 and 120 are separated by a centrally positioned spacer 124, but they are mounted on grooves 300 on a shaft extending on both sides of the spacer 124. The spacer 124 is centrally positioned on the shaft, ensuring that the tentacles 116 and 120 are properly spaced apart while allowing them to rotate within their respective grooves 300 on the cylindrical body 104.

The grooved section 128 of the body 104 houses an internal container 304, which significantly enhances the toy's functionality and appeal. This container 304 is holds small items such as toffees, chocolates, sweets, and other small gifts. Access to the container 304 is provided through an opening that is sealed by the second cap 112.

It is noted that the ball bearings (708, 712) allow the tentacles to rotate and move in 360° direction when manual force is applied by the user. Further, each base (804) includes a stopper edge that prevents the ball bearing (708, 712) and thereby the tentacles (616, 620) from slipping along the cylindrical rod (704). It is noted that the first cap (608) is attached to the first end of the cylindrical body (604) in a snap fit manner. This first cap (608) ensures that the pair of tentacles (616, 620) and spacer (624) of the spacer assembly remain on the cylindrical rod (704) of the cylindrical body (604).

It is further noted that, the tentacles (616, 620) are roata table independent of the manual force applied. Further, in another embodiment, the user curls his fingers around the tentacles and rotates the cylindrical body. The cylindrical body rotates about its axis in 360 degrees independent of the direction of the tentacles.

Now referring to FIG. 8, an exploded view of the tentacles (616, 620) of the third embodiment of the Fidget device with tentacles of the present invention is described. Accordingly, each of the tentacles (616, 620) include a base (804), a stem (808) and a head (812). The base (804) of the tentacle (616) includes a ring shaped aperture (824) that encloses the ball bearing (708). Further, each base (804) has an opening that includes an edge located on the periphery of the opening. This edge prevents the ball bearing (708, 712) and thereby the tentacles (616, 620) from slipping along the cylindrical rod (704). The ball bearing (708) rotates freely on the cylindrical rod (704) that leads to 360° rotation of the tentacle (616).

In accordance to the third embodiment, it is noted that the bottom portion of the base (804) is flat. This flat portion of the base (804) allows the tentacles (116, 120) of the present invention to be erected in a standing position. Further, the tentacle (616) includes a stem (808) that connects the base (804) to the head (816). The stem (808) is curved in an arcuate manner. It is noted that the arcuate structure of the stem (808) advantageously allows free rotation of the tentacles by avoiding any collision between the heads while the tentacles are either stationary or in rotation, complementing the flying action.

It is further noted that the tentacle (616) also includes a head (812). The head (812) has a bulging structure and includes grooves (816). The bulging structure of the head (812) shifts the center of mass of the tentacle (616) to the head (812) of the tentacle (116, 120) instead of the base (804). This allows the tentacle (616) to rotate in clockwise and anticlockwise direction, independent or dependent on direct manual force on the tentacle itself. A slight manual force on the cylindrical body (604) is enough for the tentacles (616, 620) to move.
