A hand-held toy that lights when spun, and which includes a rod, a head attached to, and spins with, the rod, a light source illuminates with movement of, the head, and apparatus associated with the light source, and which is grasped by the hands of a user. The head is either spherically-shaped or a pair of stacked disks. The light source includes a plurality of bulbs that are disposed on the head, a pair of battery interfaces that are in electrical communication with the plurality of bulbs and hold, and electrically communicate with, a pair of batteries, and a centrifugal switch that is electrical communication with the plurality of bulbs, and which closes when the head is spun, and when closed, illuminates the plurality of bulbs so as to allow the plurality of bulbs to illuminate when the head is spun. The apparatus includes a shell that rotatably receives the rod, and which is grasped by one hand of the user, a pull cord that normally winds around the rod and has a handle that is grasped by the other hand of the user, and when the shell is grasped by the one hand of the user, and the handle is grasped and pulled by the other hand of the user, the pull cord unwinds from the rod, which causes the rod to spin, which causes the head to spin, and which causes the light source to illuminate. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention claimed is: 1.
A hand-held toy for lighting when spun, comprising: A) a rod; B) a head attached to, and spinning with, said rod; C) a light source illuminating with movement of, said head; and D) apparatus associated with said light source, for holding by the hands of a user, wherein said rod has: i) a free proximal end; and ii) a distal end; further comprising a collar that is a ring, wherein said apparatus comprises a shell that rotatably receives said rod, wherein said shell has: a) an uppermost point that touches said ring; b) a lowermost point; c) a first side that is vertically-oriented, open and straight; d) a second side that is convex-shaped for grasping by one hand of the user; and e) a chamber that opens into said first side of said shell.
2.
The toy as defined in claim 1, wherein said shell further has a throughbore that extends vertically therethrough, extends from, and opens into, said uppermost point of said shell, to, and opens into, said lowermost point of said shell, communicates with said chamber contained in said shell, and rotatably receives said rod therethrough.
3.
The toy as defined in claim 1, wherein said shell further has a bore that extends horizontally and centrally through said second side of said shell, and communicates with said chamber contained in said shell.
4.
The toy as defined in claim 3, wherein said apparatus further comprises a pull cord that winds around said rod, and has: a) a first end that is fixedly attached to said rod; and b) a second end that extends freely and outwardly through said bore in said shell.
5.
The toy as defined in claim 4, wherein said pull cord further has a handle that is attached to said second end of said pull cord, externally to said shell, for grasping by the other hand of the user, and when said shell is grasped by the one hand of the user and said handle is grasped and pulled by the other hand of the user, said pull cord unwinds from said rod, which causes said rod to spin, which causes said head to spin, and which causes said light source to illuminate
