TOY.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 24, 1911.
Application filed August 9, 1911. Serial No. 643,120.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THEODORE D. From, a and a resident of the city of-New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Toy, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The invention relates to toys having a ball or a roller adapted to wind up and unwind on a cord held at one endby the user of the toy.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved toy, in which the ball is rendered'exceedingly smooth and the necessary weight is provided to insure a proper unwinding of the ball and re-winding on the cord by the momentum caused by the unwinding of the ball. For the pur ose mentioned, use is made of a ball forme of hemispheres ofglass, having their flat faces provided centrally with recesses for the receptionof a wooden hub, glued, cemented or on the hu momentum so as to rew' otherwise fastened in the said recesses, and to which hub one end of the cord is secured. A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate correspondingparts in all the views.
Figure 1 is an elevation of the toy; Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross section of the same; and Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of the same.
Two hemispheres A, A, made of glass, are provided at their oppos'te flat faces with central recesses A in which are secured the endsof a hub B by theuse of glue, cement or other. suitable adhesive substance 0, the hub B being of a length in excess of the aggreate de th of the recesses A so'that the flat aces of the hemispheres A and A are held placed a suitable distance apart for the passage of a cord D secured at one end to the middle portion of the hub B the other end being provided with a E adapted to be taken hold of by the user of the toy, as indicated in Fig. 1.
In us the toy, the cord D is wound us B, andthen the cord D is hel suspended by the ring)E to allow the-ball to unwind on the cord 1 it'be' understood that when the end of the cord is reached the ball keeps on rotati? by the thered m' the cord on the length of time.
hub B, whereby the ball is caused to travel 7 manipulation of the cord D, can allow the ball to alternately unwind or to rewind, and the toy can be kept in motion for a desired By making the hemis heres A, A of glass anexceedingly smooth all is provided, and which has the necessary wei ht to insure a proper unwinding and rewinding of the ball on the cordD. f
- It is understood that toys of the character described have heretofore been made of wood, but such toys have been found to be unsatisfactory owing to the low s ecific gravity of the wood; and balls made o metal are too heavy and are liable to injure furniture, etc, when using the ball in a room. It will also be noticed hemispheres of glass, they can be readily ornamented at either the flat or curved surfaces to any desired degree, so as to enhance the appearance ofthe ball.
In practice, the hemispheres A, A are preferably molded or pressed, withor without ornamentation, as desired. Color may be applied to the ornamentations', so that when the ball unwinds and winds up on the cord D, 'a very highly artistic effect is produced.
Having thus described my invention, I
that by making the claim .as new and desire to secure by Letters 2 Patent:
A toy, comprising side pieces, a connecting hub, fastenin means for securing the hub in lace in t e side pieces, and a cord attac ed at one end to the said hub, the said side pieces being formed of lass and a groz'zimately hemispherical'ins apewith t e at faces opposite each other, the said flat faces having central recesses for the rece tion of the ends of-the said hub and the said fasteni means employed for securing the hub to t e side pieces, the hub being of a length in excess of the aggregate depth. of the said recesses to space the side pieces apart. 7
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
