Patent ID: 6887122

Claim:
A yo-yo comprising: first and second side members secured together in a spaced-apart relation by an axle structure; a tether secured to a portion of said axle structure; wherein each of said side members has a tether-facing surface; a plurality of tether engagement members located on the tether facing surface of each of said side members, wherein when said yo-yo is spinning at the end of said tether, a user can cause said tether to snag at least one of said tether engagement members and thereby cause said tether to wind about said axle structure; and wherein each of said side members includes a visual indicator in registry with its tether engagement members, wherein said visual indicator functions to indicate to a user the position of the associated side member's tether engagement members, wherein said side members can be positioned whereby both of said visual indicators are capable of being viewed simultaneously from a point exterior to the yo-yo, and wherein the registry between each side member's visual indicator and its tether engagement members is substantially identical for both side members whereby when said visible indicator of one side member is in direct alignment with said visual indicator of the other side member, the tether engagement members of one side member will be located at a predetermined position relative to the tether engagement members of the other side member.
