PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a yo-yo that employs a rim/body portion easy to remove, having a simple securement method, and has a sufficiently positive securement to maintain a hub portion and/or the rim/body portion in place should the yo-yo hit a surface or object. SOLUTION: The yo-yo features two side portions that sandwich a center axle onto which a tether 6 may be secured, and the two side portions includes a releasable, disk-shaped rim member 50. By replacing one set of replaceable rim members 50 with another, a user can quickly and easily change the yo-yo's shape, look and/or functionality. To remove a rim member 50, one employs a twisting movement of the rim member 50 to cause a number of tabs 60 attached to the rim member 50 to slide in the hub's grooves until the tabs 60 are aligned with the openings. The rim memer 50 can then be disengaged from the yo-yo 1. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
