In December 2016, Forbes magazine published a story in which the Fidget Spinner was declared ”the must-have office toy for 2017”<\/a>. <\/em>The toy raised a real attention wave globally since the begining of the year and it is sold now in many other shapes and designs besides the classical, trilobated one.<\/p>\n

How this all started?<\/h2>\n

Fidget Spinner – with a slightly different design comparing to the trending one today – has been created in the nineties in USA by Catherine Hettinger<\/a><\/em>. After obtaining the patent, she tried to collaborate with a big US toy company which unfortunately rejected her ideea as unprofitable. Her patent expired in 2005. The idea of a spinning toy reemerged in 2014 when, according to his own statement, Scott McCoskery invented Torqbar, a spinner which kept his nervous fingers stand still during the business meetings. In 2016, along with a friend, he filled a provisional patent application<\/em><\/a>. The toy popularity increased mainly because of it was simple and easy-to-use, also because of the relaxing and stress relieving benefits (without being backed up by specialty studies, though) and the increasing numbers of materials and shapes and how-to-use web tutorials.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
