WILLIAM R. WITHERS, or NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
IMPROVEMENT IN TOYS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 137,119, dated March 25, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM R. WITHERS, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new Toy, which consists in a miniature fan-blower with a vertical escape-pipe, over which is suspended in mid-air (by the escaping current or currents) a ball or balls, image or other gure, of light material, in the same manner that a ball is sometimes suspended by a jet of steam or water.
The following is a full, clear and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specilication, in which- Figure l is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View.
Like letters of reference represent correspondin g parts.
To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention relates the better to understand and construct the same I will proceed to describe it more fully. Y
In Fig. l, B is the base, bf which the case C is supported in an upright position, and it (the base) may be made of wood or any suitable material, and in any form to accomplish the purpose. C represents the case which incloses the fan, and may be made in any desirable form adapted to fan-blowers, and of tin, wood, or any suitable material. O represents openings in the sides of the case (l for the admission of air. P is a pinion or pulley on the end of the fan-shaft, to which motion is communicated by means of the drivingwheel D and crank c; and b represents a bar across the opening o, in which bar the fanshaft has a bearing. a a are arms to which the faublades are attached; E, escape-pipe; and B the ball as suspended by the current of air represented by the arrows. In Fig. 2, S represents the main-Shaft, which has its bearing in the sides of the case C. S represents the fan-shaft, having its bearings in the bars b. a a are arms extending outward from the shafts S', to which the fan-blades f f are attached. o are openings for the admission of air; P, the pinion or pulley, (edge View D, driving-wheel; C', the crank; and E the escape-pipe. Motion may be communicated to the fan by toothed gearing or friction, or with a belt.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is not a fan-blower; but what I do claim is- The use of a miniature fan-blower in combination with a ball or balls, figure, or image, (of light material) for the purpose of holding the said ball or balls, figure, or image Suspended in midair by the current or currents of air produced by the said miniature fanblower, when a sufficient motion is imparted thereto, thus constituting a toy for the amusement of children or others, substantially as hereinbefore described. c WILLIAM R. WITHERS.
