:To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known that I, JOHN Mourns, a citizen of the Unitedastates of America, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny .and ,State. of Pennsylvania, have inventedcertainznew and useful Improvemcnts'i'n Toysfof -which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to t c accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to toys and more particularly to that class of toys operated by wind or air.

The primary object of my invention is to provide a toy .for producing kaleidoseo ic effects throu h the medium of revoluble disks actuated by air. 1

Another obg'ect of the invention is to ride a toy 0 instructive and at the to juveniles. I

A further object of theinvention is to accomplish the above results by a mechanisame time amusing cal construction-that is simple, inexpensive to manufacture and easy to operate. I

With the above and other ob ects in view the invention resides in a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed. so

Reference. will now be had to the drawing, wherein like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the 'several views in which Figure in a perspective view of the toy. Fig. 2'is a perspective view of a detached shutter or disk. Fig. 3 is a perspective view -of'a detached main disk, and Figs. 4 and 5 are enlarged cross sectional views of the toy illustrating the ports thereof.

A tov in accordance with this invention comprises a tube-or ipe 1 havin one endther of provided wit a vertical arin 2 a and intermediatethe ends there is anot er jacent to the bearing vertical bearing "3,co6perating with the bearing 2 in supporting a" longitudinal rod 4. The tube 1 adjacent to the bearing 3 is provided with an angularly, disposed port 5 and adj'acent to the-bearing 2 W'ithanother angularly dis osed port 6. The ports 5 and 6 are disposed at angles to each other for a purpose presently described.

Revolubly mounted upon the rod 4 ad- 7 and this disk or s utter is provided with the above type that wil be rcctly above the port 6.

ing directed into contact with 3 1s a di'skor shutter a plurality of radially dis used o'penin s 8, and carried by the rearsidie of said dis or shutter are a plurality of radially disposed blades 9. It is preferable to cut and shear the o enings 8 and bend the material outward y from said openin s to form the blades 9, which are at rig it angles to the rear side of said disk or shutter. The blades 9 are positioned directly above the port 5 and when air is discharged from the port 5 the disk or shutter is revolved in one direction.

Reuolnbly mounted upon the rod -1- adjacent to the bearing 2 is a disk 10 and this disk has a periphery thereof cut or sheared. as at 11 and the material, bent outwardly to provide a ilurality of radially disposed blades 12. these blades being at right angles to the rear side of the disk 10 and di- The front side of the disk 10 is printed or otherwise marked with suitable configurations-ordesigns 13. the designs being circumferentially arranged whereby they can e' observed through the openings 8 of the shutter 7.

Longitudinal displacement of the disk 7 and the shutter lQis prevented by collars 14 mounted upon the rod 4 at both sides of the disk and shutter.

The end of the tube 1 adjacent to the bearing 2 is closed and when the open end of the tube is blown into air is discharged from the ports 5 and 6, causing the disk and shutter to revolve in opposite directions. This effect is produced by reason (if the arrangement of the ports 5 and 6 and the

blades

9 and 12. the air or other fluid which is discharged through the ports bethe respective blades in a manner to cause the disk and shutter to rotate in opposite directions. The revolving shutter produces a kaleidoscopic eflect. With the shutter revolving the openings 8 appear to the vision as one single circular opening, yet the material between the openings 8 interrupts the designs upon the disk 10 to produce a mu]- tiplicity of desi ns according to the 3 ed at which the dis and shutter are revo ved.

From the foregoing it will be observed that I'have devised a toy that can be con structed of various materials and in differ ent grades, for instance, card board, will the exception of the rod 4, can be utilized for a chea toy, while the better grades can be made 0 light and durable metal or wood.

What I claim is:

1. In a toy, a pair of bladed members revolubly mounted in axial alinement and spaced apart, the advance member being slotted and the other member provided with markings visible through the slots of the advance member, and means for simultaneously directing independent streams of a fluid blast to said members, the directions of the blasts causing the members to revolve in opposite directions.

2. In a toy, a air of bladed members revolubly mounte in axial alinement and s aced apart, the advance member being s otted and the other member provided with markings visible through the slots of the advance member, and means for simultaneously directin'g independent streams of a fluid blast to said members, the directions of the blasts causin the members to revolve in opposite rections said: means comprising a tubular member having a port for and in, proximity to the blades of each member, said ports being disposed angularly relative to each other.

3. In a toy, .a air of bladed members revolubly mounte in axial alinement and s aced apart, the advance member being 5 otted and the other member provided with other member carryi markings visible through thi slots of the spacedapart ports leading from the intenor of the member and extending angularly with respect to each other, supports carried by said tubular member adjacent to said ports, a rod extending through said supports, and a air of bladed members supported on sai rod between said supports, each of said latter members being positioned to place its blades in the path of movement of a blast of fluid issuing from said ports to provide revoluble movement to said members in opposite directions, the advance member being slotted and the designs visible through the slotted portion of the advance member.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence oftwo witnesses.
