Tumblers are also called tumbling, or cascading, or trailing, or hanging basket tomatoes.
They're determinate tomatoes with extremely short internodes (sets of leaves are close together). Rather than a main stem, they look like they have lots of floppy stems coming out of a central hub.
The earliest mention I've found of one is "Tumbler" in the 1991 edition of "The Bedding Plant Expert" by D. G. Hessayon.
