THEODORE GENSMER, OF PORTLAND, OREGON, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF TO JOHN W. HURLEY, OF PORTLAND, OREGON.
MECHANICAL TOY.
Application filed April 29, 1911.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, TI-Inononn GnNsMnn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented a new and Improved Mechanical Toy, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description,
The invention relates to that class of toys having a handle on which is mounted a traction wheel adapted to travel on the floor, ground, or other surface.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved mechanical toy, which is simple and durable in construction and arranged to afford considerable amusement to the user. For the purpose mentioned, use is made of a handled bar, on the forward end of which is journaled a traction wheel connected by a pitman with a swinging figure fulcrumed on the bar, the figure being in the rear of a rotatable disk driven from.
the traction wheel and supporting picture cards in front of the said figure.
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 corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improvement; Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same; Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the same on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the revoluble disk for supporting the picture cards.
A bar A of a suitable length is provided at its rear end with a handle A, and on the front end of the bar is journaled a traction wheel B adapted to travel on the floor, ground, or other suitable surface, and on the front face of the traction wheel B is arranged a crank pin C connected by a pit-man or a connecting rod D with the lower end E of a figure E, fulcrumed at F on one side of the bar A, so that the figure is free to swing forward and backward. As shown, the figure E preferably represents a hunter with a gun pointing in a forward direction. The pitman D is preferably loosely guided in bearings G attached to the under side of the bar A.
On the forward end of the bar A is arranged an upwardly-extending shaft H, on which is mounted to turn the hub I of a Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 19, 1912.
Serial No. 624,020.
disk I provided with clips or supports I for rcmovably supporting picture cards J, preferably showing animals, as indicated in Fig. 1, and appearing approximately in alinement with the gun held by the hunter on the figure E. The huh I is provided with a friction pinion I having its peripheral face in contact with the rear face of the wheel B so that when the latter travels on a surface and is rotated a forward and backward swinging motion is given to the figure E, and at the same time the disk I is rotated so as to-present the picture cards J to the aim of the hunter represented by the figure E. On the rear face of the wheel B is secured an actuating pin K adapted to engage the free end of a flat spring L secured to the top of the bar A, so that on rotating the wheel B, as above described, the pin K engages the free end of the pin L to place the same under tension and finally releases the spring so that the latter drops downward onto the upper surface of the bar A, thereby producing a sound in imitation of gun fire. The pin K is so arranged relative to the .figure E that when the latter swings forward to aim at the animal depicted on a corresponding picture card J, then the pin K releases the spring L and consequently a sound is produced in imitation of gun fire prior to the figure E swinging backward. The bar A is provided with a recess A for the passage of the pin K on rotating the wheel B.
Although I have described and shown the figure E as representing a huntsman, it is evident that I do not limit myself to such particular arrangement, as the figure E and the cards J may have other figures or other matter arranged thereon.
The mechanical toy shown and described is very simple and composed of comparatively few parts, not liable easily to get out of order Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent 1. A mechanical toy, comprising a handled bar, a traction wheel journaled on the forward end of said bar and provided with a crank pin at one face, a figure fulcrumed on the bar, a pitman connecting the said crank pin with the said figure, an upwardly extending shaft on the forward end of the bar, and a disk provided with supports for picture cards and having a hub mounted to turn on said shaft, the said hub being provided with a friction pinion engaging the traction wheel.
2. A mechanical toy, comprising a handled bar, a traction wheel journaled on the forward end of the said bar and provided with a crank pin at one face and a spring-actuating pin at the other face, a figure fulcrumed on the bar near the forward end thereof, a pitman connecting the said crank pin with the said figure, a flat spring secured to the said bar and adapted to be engaged and released by the said actuating pin, a shaft on the said bar at the forward end thereof, a disk having a hub provided with a friction pinion in engagement with the said traction Wheel to rotate the said disk, supports on the said disk, and picture cards held on the said supports.
3. A mechanical toy, comprising a bandled bar, a traction wheel journaled on the forward end of the said bar, a disk having a hub journaled on the front end of the said bar, the hub having a friction pinion in engagement with a face of the said traction wheel, supports on the said disk, and picture cards removably held on the said supports.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
THEODORE GENSMER.
