Es handelt sich um hochglanzpolierte, massive Metall-Klappdeckel. Sie haben eine chromähnliche Oberfläche und sind hervorragend bearbeitet. Drehen Sie es einfach wie gewohnt und beobachten Sie, wie es plötzlich umdreht und dann weiter auf den Kopf dreht. Diese Flip-Over-Tops (oft bekannt als The Tipped Top) wurden ursprünglich 1950 vom dänischen Ingenieur Werner Oostburg erfunden. Seine Inspiration kann von einem Besuch in Südamerika, wo er lokale Menschen gesehen hatte, die mit einer kleinen, runden Frucht spielen. Wenn sie es durch den Stiel wie einen altmodischen Kreisel drehten, würde es sich für eine Sekunde drehen und dann umdrehen und auf dem Stiel drehen. Allerdings sollte Helene Sperm etwas Guthaben gegeben werden, die 1891 einen Wendekreisel in Deutschland patentiert hat. Das Patent ist jedoch leer und nie Massenproduktion. Diese Platten sind aus poliertem Aluminium und haben einen Durchmesser von 29 mm.
هذه الأجزاء العلوية مصنوعة من المعدن الصلب المصقول للغاية. تتميز بلمسة نهائية تشبه الكروم ومصنوعة آليًا بشكل ممتاز. ببساطة قم بتدويرها كالمعتاد وشاهدها وهي تقلب فجأة ثم تستمر في الدوران رأسًا على عقب. تم اختراع هذه القمم القلابة (المعروفة غالباً باسم ذا تيبد توب) في الأصل في عام 1950 من قبل المهندس الدنماركي وينر أوستبيرغ. يمكن إلهامه من زيارة إلى أمريكا الجنوبية حيث رأيه أناس محليين يلعبون بثمار دائرية صغيرة. عندما يقومون بتشغيلها بواسطة جذع مثل الجزء العلوي الدوار القديم، سيدور لثانية ثم يقلب ويدور على السيق. ومع ذلك، يجب إعطاء بعض الائتمان لهيلين سبيرم التي حصلت على براءة اختراع في عام 1891 في مدينة ويندكريزل في ألمانيا. ومع ذلك، فقد نفدت براءة الاختراع ولم يتم إنتاجها على الإطلاق بالجملة. هذه القمم مصنوعة من الألومنيوم المصقول وقطرها 29 مم.
Estes são topos de metal sólido altamente polido. Eles têm um acabamento cromado e são excelentemente usinados. Basta girar como normal e vê-la de repente virá-la e continuar a girar de cabeça para baixo. Estas blusas viradas (muitas vezes conhecidas como o topo da ponta) foram originalmente inventadas em 1950 pelo engenheiro dinamarquês Werner Oostburg. Sua inspiração pode ser de uma visita à América do Sul onde ele viu pessoas locais brincando com uma pequena fruta redonda. Quando eles o viraram pela haste como um topo giratório antiquado, ele giraria por um segundo e depois inverte e giraria na haste. No entanto, alguns créditos devem ser concedidos à Helene Sperm, que em 1891 patenteou um Wendekreisel na Alemanha. No entanto, a patente acabou e nunca foi produzida em massa. Estas tampas são feitas de alumínio polido e têm 29 mm de diâmetro.
顶部采用高度抛光实心金属翻盖。 表面镀铬,加工非常出色。 只要正常旋转,就会突然翻转,然后继续翻转。 这些翻盖式上衣(通常称为 The Tipped Top)最初由丹麦工程师 Werner Oostburg 于 1950 年发明。 他的灵感来源于对南美洲的访问,他看到当地人玩着一个小的圆形水果。 当他们像老式旋转顶部一样把它转动时,它会旋转 1 秒,然后在杆子上倒转并旋转。 但是,应向 Helene Sperm 授予 1891 年在德国获得专利的 Wendekreisel 专利。 然而专利用完,并且从未批量生产。 这些顶部由抛光铝制成,直径为 29 毫米。

고광택 솔리드 메탈 플립 오버 탑입니다. 크롬과 같은 마감으로 훌륭하게 가공되었습니다. 평소처럼 돌리고 갑자기 뒤집힌 다음 거꾸로 회전하는 것을 지켜보세요. 이 플립 오버 탑(종종 팁 탑이라고 함)는 원래 덴마크 엔지니어 베르너 오스트버그에 의해 1950년에 발명되었습니다. 그의 영감은 남아메리카 방문에서 현지 사람들이 작고 둥근 과일을 가지고 노는 것을 보았을 때 영감을 얻었습니다. 구식 회전 탑처럼 줄기로 돌리면 1초 동안 회전한 다음 줄기를 뒤집고 회전합니다. 그러나 1891년 독일의 Wendekreisel을 특허를 받은 Helene Sperm에게 어떤 크레딧을 주어야 합니다. 그러나 특허가 다 떨어졌으며 결코 대량 생산되지 않았습니다. 이 상단은 광택 알루미늄으로 만들어졌으며 직경이 29mm입니다.

This top is simply amazing. When I first got it, I had to show it to everyone at work. When my daughter's seen it, they were awestruck as well. This is definitely a conversation piece.

It doesn't seem possible to spin this fast enough with your fingers, or even a thread, for it to turn upside down.

Top notch little tippy top! Works perfectly. I have to moisten my fingers a bit to get a good grip on the stem, but with a flick, you can set this little gem spinning on its bowl! As predicted, it flips itself and again spins on the stem for quite a while. I had one of these when I was a kid, metal just like this one. The cheaper ones you see nowadays are wood and they dont have a long spin time. This one, being solid metal, has some heft and is perfectly milled and polished to perform well. Very pleased.

I got this in the mail and was instantly surprised by its build quality. Its construction is not light by any means, and in the few times I've dropped it against tile or other metal objects, it hasn't been nicked at all. One gripe I have with it, however, is that the knurling (grip) can be a bit sharp and abrasive, but that's somewhat to be expected. It's provided me hours of enjoyment, and, as a physicist, it's provided me something to think about and observe intently. One last thing about it is that the color of it, in reality, is lighter than the picture shown; not necessarily a bad thing, just a side note. 10/10 overall.

It is a dull stainless steel color, not dark grey like the picture. It spins ok, I have yet to get it to flip over and continue to spin for more than about 30 seconds. However it is a fun little distraction and conversation piece. I would buy again, but I would expect to pay less for the dull color.

The product is actually shiny aluminum finish and does spin as advertised. I was kind hesitant about spending $9.99 on it but after I received it I was satisfied with the quality and performance. People who give a poor review because they can't get it to spin are not doing it correctly. This top spins wide and therefore needs space in order to complete its spin and flip over; I think the more proficient you become combine with the optimum surface this top will spin tighter and longer. This piece is also good for meditation and focusing on or just to have fun.

This is a high end top. Understand that it is small and it's coming from the UK so it takes a little extra time to get there, but mine arrived earlier than expected, in about a week. It's polished aluminum, bright silver in color. The picture is a darker grey like a tungsten. It is expensive for a little toy, but these are hard to find and most others out there are made from wood. This is turned from a piece of aluminum and couldn't have been cheap to make. It is very well balanced and will last forever. There was a comment in one of the other reviews about not turning completely over; not sure if that was somehow defective but the one that I received performs exactly as advertised. It does work better on some surfaces than others, the smoother the better. There are videos showing the top being spun too if you search tippe top. I found a company elsewhere on the internet that sells these, not sure if it's the same company or not but it is in UK and they retail for $27. All in all I think it's WELL worth the price and I just ordered another one because my son commandeered mine. I like the educational value in it too. It took me a bit to figure out how it works then I validated on the internet, but there is some good mind-flexing to be had with the younger ones to figure out or explain to them the physics of it. If you just want a little top for the kids to spin then you can get that cheaper and faster with other options, but if you want a very high quality piece that will also provide some educational value then I highly recommend this one.

An interesting toy that, when given a good spin using the stem, flips over and balances on the stem due to weight distribution and shape. It needs a fair amount of smooth table top until you gain experience in starting it to minimize skating around on the flat surface. The smoother the table top the better. The way it ends up on the narrow end when spun is similar to how a hard boiled egg, when spun fast enough on its side, has the vertical axis move so it stands up on the narrow end while spinning.The one received is silver color rather than black and is high polished machined aluminum so far as I can tell. A quality and smooth machining job. It looks virtually unbreakable unless you step on it with hard soled shoes as it is relatively thick walled metal.BTW it is shipped from England so do not expect extremely fast arrival. Mine took about 8 days via Royal Air Mail.
