Abstract
A yo-yo toy including two circular blocks joined by a pin having a string wound around it. An additional member has portions rotatably mounted on the outer faces of the blocks, so that the additional member moves up and down with the blocks as the yo-yo is used, but does not rotate with the blocks. The additional member may be a human or animal figure, or a representation of a real thing, such as an airplane. The pivots joining the additional member to the blocks are on an axis which may be coaxial with the pin axis, or parallel to and spaced from the pin axis. The additional member may remain above the axis of the pin, may depend below the pin axis, or may extend above and below the pin axis when the blocks are suspended from the string. In the first case, the additional member has a hole through which the string extends.
