Description

  • The invention relates to a device provided and arranged as yo-yo toy.
  • A yo-yo is a toy. Originally, they were made of ivory and terracotta discs, nowadays they are usually made of plastic. A yo-yo consists of two circular discs of equal size, which are connected to each other by means of a small connecting shaft. Around the connecting shaft a string has been wound. At the free end of the string a loop (handle or slip knot) is provided for inserting a finger (ring or middle finger). By throwing the yo-yo downwards the (string of the) yo-yo unwinds. By pulling and raising the yo-yo in the correct way the yo-yo returns into its windup upper position. Optionally, a ring filled with ball bearings is provided around the connecting shaft. The yo-yo provided with these features starts to 'spin' when it is powerfully thrown down; the yo-yo remains downward, but also continues to rotate. By a subsequent short, jerky movement, the yo-yo winds up again. During spinning, there are opportunities for tricks.
    (from: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jojo (speelgoed))
  • Document US-A1-2012/0276806 discloses a yo-yo comprising all the technical features set out in the preamble of claim 1.
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a yo-yo which has a sporty and attractive appearance, in particular with respect to ball sports. However, the yo-yo according to the invention also offers opportunities in other areas.
  • According to the present invention, a device is provided, which is provided and arranged as a yo-yo toy, comprising two rotary bodies, connected to each other by means of a connecting shaft, wherein each of the bodies comprises a base portion and a therewith connectable or connected frame part, which is configured, optionally partly in cooperation with the base portion, for attaching a number of separate (loose) covering elements, which preferably are uniformly distributed over the outer surface of the device, for example, with elements having a regular polygonal or round surface.
  • The enveloping shape of both the base portions, which are interconnected by means of the connecting shaft, and the assembly of the frame parts with the covering elements connected to the base portions, is substantially spherical. The device comprises hexagonal covering elements, wherein the base portions and the frame parts are designed in such a way that the covering elements, together with half-hexagonal segments of the base portions, form a regularly shaped body. Preferably, he covering elements and the half-hexagonal segments of the base portions are arranged and/or coloured in such a way that the device bears great similarity to a football or handball.
  • Preferably, the covering elements are snap-action connectable ("snap-connectable") with the frame parts and/or the base portions, and are interchangeable with covering elements of a different colour, texture and/or lettering, for example.
  • The invention will now be further discussed based on the description of the drawing following hereinafter.
    • Figure 1
    shows an embodiment of an assembled device according to the invention, including a drawstring,
    Figure 2
    shows the same embodiment in partially "exploded view".
  • Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a device, provided and arranged as a yo-yo toy 1, comprising two rotary bodies 2, connected to each other by means of a connecting shaft 3, wherein each of the rotary elements comprises a base portion 4 and a therewith connectable or connected frame part 5 which is configured, optionally partly in cooperation with the base portion 4, for attaching a plurality of covering elements 6 provided with hexagonal surface. The base portion 4 has a relatively large, uniformly distributed mass 4a for the purpose of creating the gyroscopic moment necessary for a proper operation of the yo-yo (see also http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscoop).
  • The enveloping shape 7 of both the basic portions 4, which are interconnected by means of the connecting shaft 3, and the assembly of the frame parts 5, together with the covering elements 6, is substantially spherical. However if desired, a different form may also be chosen for the enveloping shape 7.
  • In the embodiment shown, the covering elements 6 are hexagonal, wherein the base portions 4 and the frame parts 5 are shaped such, that the covering elements 6, together with half-hexagonal segments 8 of the base portions 4, form a regularly shaped object.
  • The covering elements 6 and the half-hexagonal segments 8 of the base portions 4 are arranged and/or coloured in such a way, for example, that the device has a great similarity to a football, basketball or handball, for example.
  • By means of a closing nut 9, which fits onto a threaded portion 10, the yo-yo can be assembled.
  • The (cladding) covering elements 6 are preferably clickable (snap-action connectable) connected with the frame parts 5 or the base portions 4 respectively, and therefore are interchangeable with, for example, covering elements 6 of a different colour, texture and/or, optionally lettering. In this way, the yo-yo devices may be used, for example, in various marketing campaigns or, the (mostly young) users will be able to change the appearance of their yo-yo according to their taste.
  • The yo-yo can be used by means of a drive string 11, provided with a loop (handle) 12.
  • Thus according to the invention, a yo-yo is provided having a sporty and attractive appearance, in particular with respect to ball games, but optionally also - by means of the exchangeable covering elements 6 - in other areas. In order to associate the exterior appearance of the yo-yo with other sports (e.g. motor racing) or even completely different areas of interest, a different shape may be chosen for the enveloping shape 7 during the manufacture of the yo-yo.
  • With regard to the patents US2006094329A1 (D1) and US2012276806A1 (D2) mentioned in the Search Report (RAPPORT BETREFFENDE HET ONDERZOEK NAAR DE STAND VAN DE TECHNIEK) of the priority Dutch patent application, it is noted that neither of these documents discloses separate (loose) covering elements, which (preferably) are uniformly distributed on the outer surface of the device.
