spirograph
Lung capacity measurer
A spirograph is a geometric drawing toy that produces intricate looping curves called hypotrochoids and epitrochoids.
Plastic gears with toothed edges rotate inside or around larger rings, and a pen inserted through small holes traces elaborate symmetrical patterns as the gears turn.
The word also describes the mathematical curves themselves or similar computer-generated designs.
She spent hours with her spirograph making psychedelic flower patterns. (Capitalized Spirograph is the trademark.)
