A rolling toy to be rolled on a horizontal support surface, for instance, on a floor, having a primary roller and a secondary roller. The primary roller having a tubular-like member extending along a longitudinal axis and at least one annular flange fixedly attached to the tubular-like member and extending outwardly therefrom. The secondary roller is adapted a for rolling motion upon an interior surface of the tubular-like member when the primary roller rotates about the longitudinal axis due to the rolling motion of the rolling toy on the horizontal support surface. At least one of the following includes a helical guiding means: (i) the tubular-like member and (ii) the secondary roller. Thereby, when the secondary roller is disposed on the interior surface of the tubular-like member and the primary roller is set in a rolling motion on the horizontal support surface in a predetermined direction, the rolling motion of the primary roller results in a tilting of the latter. The tilting of the primary roller may result in its standing vertically on the horizontal support surface.

The rolling toy of claim 1, wherein said tubular member has a helical ridge extending inwardly from said substantially cylindrical interior surface or the tubular member is formed substantially as a helical spring; said secondary roller is configured for a rolling engagement with the helical ridge or the helical spring, thereby the helical ridge or the helical spring serve as said helical guiding means. 3. The rolling toy of claim 1, wherein said secondary roller is configured as an elongated body; the elongated body has a helical ridge extending outwardly from an exterior thereof or the elongated body is formed as a helical spring. 4. The rolling toy of claim 3, wherein a plurality of annular ridges spaced apart along said longitudinal axis is extending inwardly from said substantially cylindrical interior surface. 5. The rolling toy of claim 1, wherein said tubular member includes a support area located on the leftmost or the rightmost portion thereof and configured such that said primary roller is positionable on said support area on said horizontal support surface, thereby said tilting of the primary roller may result in a standing thereof on said horizontal support surface. 6. A rolling toy comprising: a primary roller and a secondary roller;said primary roller has a tubular member extending along a longitudinal axis thereof between left end and right end;said primary roller further has a left rolling body and a right rolling body, which are spaced apart from each other along said longitudinal axis and fixedly attached to said tubular member;said left rolling body and said right rolling body are configured such that said primary roller is rollable on said left rolling body and said right rolling body simultaneously on a horizontal support surface;said tubular member has a substantially cylindrical interior surface facing an interior of the tubular member;said secondary roller is sized to fit within said tubular member and is adapted for a rolling motion on said substantially cylindrical interior surface;wherein said tubular member includes a helical guiding means;said helical guiding means is configured for urging said secondary roller to move longitudinally toward said left end or said right end when said secondary roller is in the rolling motion on said substantially cylindrical interior surface;configuration of the primary roller and weights of the primary and secondary rollers are such that, as the primary roller is positioned on said horizontal support surface, at least one of the following is satisfied:(a) said primary roller is urged to tilt to the left when said secondary roller is positioned on said substantially cylindrical interior surface in close proximity to said left end; and(b) said primary roller is urged to tilt to the right when said secondary roller is positioned on said substantially cylindrical interior surface in close proximity to said right end;thereby, when said secondary roller is disposed on said substantially cylindrical interior surface in a predetermined location and said primary roller is set in a rolling motion on the horizontal support surface in a predetermined direction, the rolling motion of the primary roller results in a tilting of the latter in respect to said horizontal support surface;wherein the helical guiding means includes a plurality of revolutions; andwherein at least one complete revolution of the plurality of revolutions of the helical guiding means is approximately located at a vertical plane, substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, and associated with at least one of the left rolling body, and the right rolling body. 7. The rolling toy of claim 6, wherein said tubular member has a helical ridge extending inwardly from said substantially cylindrical interior surface or the tubular member is formed substantially as a helical spring; said secondary roller is configured for a rolling engagement with the helical ridge or the helical spring, thereby the helical ridge or the helical spring serve as said helical guiding means. 8. The rolling toy of claim 6, wherein said secondary roller is configured as an elongated body; the elongated body has a helical ridge extending outwardly from an exterior thereof or the elongated body is formed as a helical spring. 9. The rolling toy of claim 6, wherein said tubular member includes a support area located on the leftmost or the rightmost portion thereof and configured such that said primary roller is positionable on said support area on said horizontal support surface, thereby said tilting of the primary roller may result in a standing thereof on said horizontal support surface. 10. A rolling toy comprising: a primary roller and a secondary roller;said primary roller has a tubular member extending along a longitudinal axis thereof between left end and right end;said primary roller further has a left rolling body and a right rolling body, which are spaced apart from each other along said longitudinal axis and fixedly attached to said tubular member;said left rolling body and said right rolling body are configured such that said primary roller is rollable on said left rolling body and said right rolling body simultaneously on a horizontal support surface;said tubular member has a substantially cylindrical interior surface facing an interior of the tubular member;said secondary roller is sized to fit within said tubular member and is adapted for a rolling motion on said substantially cylindrical interior surface;wherein said secondary roller includes a helical guiding means on an exterior surface of the secondary roller;said helical guiding means is configured for urging said secondary roller to move longitudinally toward said left end or said right end when said secondary roller is in the rolling motion on said substantially cylindrical interior surface;configuration of the primary roller and weights of the primary and secondary rollers are such that, as the primary roller is positioned on said horizontal support surface, at least one of the following is satisfied:(a) said primary roller is urged to tilt to the left when said secondary roller is positioned on said substantially cylindrical interior surface in close proximity to said left end; and(b) said primary roller is urged to tilt to the right when said secondary roller is positioned on said substantially cylindrical interior surface in close proximity to said right end;thereby, when said secondary roller is disposed on said substantially cylindrical interior surface in a predetermined location and said primary roller is set in a rolling motion on the horizontal support surface in a predetermined direction, the rolling motion of the primary roller results in a tilting of the latter in respect to said horizontal support surface. 11.
