Abstract
A finger manipulated device that gives the user a unique tactile and audible sensations comprising of two, disc-shaped shells, a first and second set of magnets located on the inside surfaces of each shell, and flat thrust bearing disposed between the shells. The magnets in the first set and second set are aligned in circular arrays. The magnets in each array are aligned in the same direction and evenly space apart. The thrust bearing includes a thin frame with a plurality of rollers radially aligned that fit into two raceways formed on the inside surfaces of the two shells. The thrust bearing supports the two shells and holds them apart. When assembled, the two shells are held together on opposite sides of the thrust bearing by magnetic forces created by the two sets of magnets and produce unique tactile and sound sensations when the shells are rotated back and forth in alternating directions with the user's fingers.
