Yo-yo having twist-on releasable rims and yo-yo having twist-on gear-locked bodies

Номер: US20130065481A1
Автор: Hans W. Van Dan Elzen
Принадлежит: Bandai Co Ltd

The invention is an improved yo-yo that features two side assemblies that sandwich a center axle onto which the yo-yo's tether may be secured. According to a first embodiment, each of the side assemblies preferably includes a releasable, disk-shaped rim piece. By replacing one set of replaceable rim pieces with another, a user can quickly and easily change the yo-yo's shape, look and/or functionality. To remove a rim piece, one first removes a lock ring that is secured to the rim piece and blocks a number of openings that lead to grooves in a center-located hub. Next, one employs a twisting movement of the rim piece to cause a number of tabs attached to the rim piece to slide in the hub's grooves until the tabs are aligned with the openings. The rim piece can then be disengaged from the yo-yo.

A prefabricated tuned top and a launcher for launching the tuned top, manufactured in a small size with five components of a knob, a rim, beads, a body and a spinning spindle. The tuned top can be readily assembled by sequentially inserting and then tightening the components. The tuned top implements a changeable spinning form based on induction of a change in difference between the centripetal force and centrifugal force, generated during spinning, since the center of gravity can be eccentrically disposed freely according to the user's selection. The tuned top is prevented from being reversely loosened so it can be safely, semi-permanently, and easily enjoyable at any location. The tuned top enables accurate and stable mounting when a launcher is used, such that the top is not easily separated therefrom but is quickly launched without a launch failure, thereby providing accurate launching without the loss of spinning power. 112-.
