<p>34 YO-YO* WITH TWIST-RESISTANT SUPPORT A toy capable of combined rotational and translational motion. Two parallel discs are connected through their centers by a single axle. The axle is suspended from a support connected at a position between the two discs. Said support is of a twistresistant type, offering a greater torsional resistance to twisting about the axis of the string than conventional yo-yo strings. The support may be anchored to the axle in a non-sleeping mode, or it may be looped around the axle allowing the yo-yo to sleep. In order to operate the toy, the end of the support opposite that which is connected to the yo-yo axle is held by the user, and an up-and-down gentle motion is imparted to the toy. The end of the support may be connected to a swivel system which is in turn connected to a ring for holding the toy. Particular types of supports for the present invention include a tape or ribbon.</p> |
