Description

The present invention relates to the connection of a toy to an apparatus for personal hygiene and consists in having a doll or figure of suitable size with movably used arms and legs with one of the known elastic or similar wall exercise machines connected, e.g. B. that known apparatus, which consists of two elastic o. The like. Cords, metal springs ο. like. exists,

to which have a handle at one end and a stirrup at the other. The purpose of the invention is to provide a toy for children (e.g. aged 1 to 7 years) which requires a certain amount of physical exertion when playing or through one certain physical exertion is stimulated so that the child, without feeling it, a means of developing and maintaining his physical education and health receives.

In the present example, an arm or leg is formed around each cord or the like, so that the handle is represented by the hand itself or in its place; the The stirrup is attached in the place of the foot. Each of the cords o. The like. Can their way through the body run over a special role in order to a particular one Point to make a move.

When the child puts their feet in the stirrups and grasps the handles, they can go through Stretching and tightening the arms and. Legs perform various well-known physical exercises are executed. The hands of the doll or figure can be used as a suitable handle that corresponds to the appearance of the toy carry a device which, in order to allow wrist and arm exercise, according to the known double-action, by springs tense type is trained, or the forearms can when they are in the exercise to be detected, split in a similar manner and tensioned by springs in matching Way to be covered.

In order to stimulate the child to use the toy diligently with further stimulants, the known device can also be attached, which automatically when a certain power output is reached makes a donation, which in the example shown is located inside the head of the doll is.

In the accompanying drawing, an embodiment of the invention is for example shown.

Fig. Ι is a front view of a doll made using the invention is;

Fig. 2 is a side view of the same embodiment ;

Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are the side and plan views of the candy dispensing serving institution.

The working parts of the toy consist of a main part α in the form of a sleeve which carries a tubular extension δ on its upper part. The ends of two elastic cords c or the like, which may be called the upper expandable members, go through a laterally provided opening into the interior of the main part and are fastened inside the main part in a suitable manner, e.g. B. in that they are taken through the ground and provided with knots. Each cord goes outside the main part over a pulley d, one of which is attached to each side of the main part ao, and then through the arms of the doll. They each end in a suitable handle e. The rollers are preferably mounted in such a way that they are movable in the horizontal direction. Further, two cords f, which may be called the lower expandable members, go into the interior of the main part α and are attached to this part in a similar manner to the upper expandable members c. Two rollers g are provided inside the main part α , over which the cords f run. The lower free ends of the cords are provided for the purposes described below with stirrups i o. The like..

As indicated above, the toy can be provided with an automatic machine which dispenses a candy or other object after a certain number of movements of the stretchable members. The automaton illustrated in fig. 3 and fig. 4, which can be built into the head of the doll, consists of a horizontally mounted housing k which rests on the upper end of the part δ. This housing is provided with the openings I and m or in the upper and lower sides. A drum or the like, part n, which is connected to a spindle 0 , is rotatably mounted in the housing k . A section or part of this drum is recessed in such a way that it creates a space p which best corresponds to the size of the openings I and m in the housing. A container 7 is of helical shape for sweets or other objects, k to the housing such that its lower end communicates with the opening of the housing I in combination. The spindle 0 is provided with a gear s 0. like., ^ In the teeth of which a pawl t engages, "which is held u by a about the pin 0 swingable arm. V Another pawl which is articulated on the housing, secures the trom!

mel η against backward rotation. The arm u is sought to rotate by the spindle 0 in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 4) by the tension of the spring w. The outer end of the arm u is connected to the upper stretchable cords c with the aid of a chain % 0. The like and a cross bracket y attached to the stretchable cords (Fig. 1). In use, the feet are placed in the stirrups i . The doll can, if so desired, be attached to the wall or other location by means of a hook, as shown in Fig. 2, or it can be used freely. The hands grip the handles e, and the usual movements when using such devices can now be carried out. When the upper stretchable cords c are stretched, the cross bracket y is raised, and this relieves the tension on the chain χ so that the spring w can move the arm u and thus the drum in the direction indicated 'until the arm stops the retaining bolt ζ abuts, while when loosening the cords c, the bracket y and the chain χ are withdrawn, the arm u turning back and the pawl t slides over the teeth of the wheel s, which is prevented from turning back by the pawl ν. After a certain number of movements, the space f in the drum will cover the opening I in the housing, and a candy or other object can fall from the container r into the space p. After a further certain number of movements, the space φ is brought into congruence with the opening m , through which the candy or other object is placed in a container, e.g. B. a pocket formed in the mouth of the doll falls, from which it can be removed.

It is readily apparent that there are many other forms of physical exercise that serve Apparatus can be connected to a doll or character in such a way that they offer the same advantages as the one described above Shape.

For example, the upper and lower extensible members can be combined into one so that the movement which is brought about by its expansion is on the automaton is transferred, or, if one is in the separate execution of the stretchable The lower limbs can be used to operate the machine instead of the upper limbs can be used.

If desired, the doll or figurine can be made with just a pair of stretchable limbs be provided, either the upper or the lower. Finally you can also restrict to a single stretchable limb.
