Spirograph
Gear-driven art toy
Spirograph is a trademark for the geometric drawing toy introduced in 1965, consisting of plastic gears and rings that guide a pen to create intricate curved patterns.
The brand name has become somewhat genericized, with spirograph often appearing lowercase for similar toys or the patterns they produce. (Lowercase spirograph refers to the toy generically or the curves it produces.)
