Patent ID: 7874890

Claim:
A yo-yo comprising: first and second side portions; an axle structure that secures together said side portions in a spaced-apart relation, and wherein a tether can be secured to a portion of said axle structure that is located between said side portions; and wherein said first side portion includes a roller member and a body portion, wherein said body portion has a peripherally-located rim portion, wherein said roller member is located whereby it is capable of being readily contacted by a finger of a user, wherein said roller member is rotatably secured to the yo-yo in a manner whereby said roller member is rotatable relative to said body portion, wherein said roller member has a thru-bore that includes, at opposite ends thereof, first and second openings, wherein said first opening faces toward said second side portion, wherein said second opening faces outwardly in a direction away from said second side portion, wherein a securement member functions to releasably secure said roller member to the yo-yo, wherein said roller member is rotatable relative to said securement member, and wherein when said second opening is accessible to a user, said securement member can be removed from said yo-yo via said second opening wherein a ball bearing unit is engaged to said roller member, wherein said ball bearing unit has a center-located thru-bore into which an outwardly-extending portion of the body member extends, wherein said securement member is engaged to a distal portion of said outwardly-extending portion in a manner whereby at least a portion of said securement member is located outwardly of said ball bearing unit and is thereby located further away from the second side portion that is the ball bearing unit, and wherein said securement member functions to prevent said ball bearing unit from moving outwardly and thereby disengaging from said outwardly-extending portion and thus secures said roller member to said yo-yo.
