AI Technical Summary
Benefits of technology
The present invention is a customizable yo-yo system that includes interchangeable components such as weighted shells, pads, and spacers that can be associated with different performance levels. The system also includes a basic, intermediate, and advanced skill yo-yo with interchangeable rims and pads that can be color coded to indicate their respective skill level. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides a versatility and flexibility in attaching different components to the yo-yo to achieve different performance levels, making it easier to customize according to different needs and preferences.
Problems solved by technology
However, the costs involved in buying and maintaining a large number of yo-yos can be considerable.
In addition, transporting a large number of yo-yos can be bothersome and is usually accomplished using a bulky and expensive transport case specially adapted for carrying yo-yos.
However, these prior art solutions, on the one hand, do not provide enough customization, and on the other hand too much customization.
In addition to none of the small parts being easily identified for its yo-yo performance characteristics it would take a sophisticated user a considerable amount of time and patience to assemble.

Embodiment Construction
[0022]Referring to FIG. 1 there is shown an exploded view of the customizable features of a basic yo-yo in accordance with the present invention. The basic yo-yo 10 includes basic axle 11, a basic first half shell 12 enclosing a basic first weight 12a, a basic second half shell 13 enclosing a basic second weight I 3a, a basic first pad 17, a basic first spacer 14, a bearing 15, a basic second spacer 16, a basic second pad 17a, and a basic hex screw 19. It will be appreciated that each of the parts shown in FIG. 1 are color coded, or otherwise marked, to represent a basic skill level associated with each of the parts. For example, the basic axle 11, the basic first half 12 enclosing the basic first weight 12a, the basic second half 13 enclosing the basic second weight 13a, the basic first pad 17, the basic first spacer 14, the basic second spacer 16, the basic second pad 17a, and the basic hex screw 19 may be color coded green to represent a yo-yo suitable for basic tricks.

The customizable yo-yo system of the present invention makes available a plurality of yo-yos, e.g. two yo-yos or three or more yo-yos, which can easily be disassembled and reassembled to make a set of custom yo-yos. Each of the custom yo-yo has a unique set of performance characteristics selected by the user's preference and skill level. In addition, each of the yo-yos parts are color coded to indicate its associated skill level.
