Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 2o, 1913.
Application filed November 23, 1912. -Serial No. 733,222.
To all w/wm t may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD SWEENEY, a citizen of the United States,y residing at Trenton, in the county of Mercer and State of New Jersey, have invented new andjuseful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification. j
The present invention relates to improvements in toys, the primary object of the present invention being the` provision of a spring projected device formedto imitate a snake or otherV animal which when retracted is held against the spring tension within a tube or envelop constituting a yhandle while a iexible connection provides a means for retaining the same retracted or permitting the same to be projected beyond the tube, there beingl carried by the opposite end of the flexible connection means for sealing the tube to maintain the retracted object within the tube.
W'ith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction'hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings-Figure 1 is a side elevation, the tube being shown partially in sect-ion, of the device when not in use. Fig. 2 is a longitudinally sectional view through the complete device with the obj ect retracted and within the tube ready to be released. Fig. 8 is a view showing the device projected with the tube broken away to reduce the length thereof and to show the relative position of the parts.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the tube which constitutes the gripping member to be heldin one hand by the operator, while in the sealed end thereof is provided the concentric aperture 2 through which is slidably passed the flexible connection or cord 3. ThisV cord 3, adjacent one end, is provided with almot 4 which limits the outward movement of the operating button 5, while the extended end 6 with the knot 7, constitutes a means for locking the button 5 in the open end, as
at 13, when the device, as will presently appear, is retracted andy sealed ywithin the tube 1.
The opposite end of the cord 3 is passed through the head 8 which in thepresentinstance simulates or imitates the head of a Y l the opposite end, as at 12, is connected to c a contracted portion of the solid head 8 and permits the fullextension of the spring "25 which is stationed within the bellows 11` and `exerts a normal tension to hold the head 8 in extended position, as clearly shownV in Fig. 3.
From the foregoing description, it is evident that with a device constructed according to the present invention, that the opera tor by holding the tubular member 1 in one hand may pull upon the cord or flexible connection 3 to retain the `head 8 in the retracted position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and that by quickly releasing the cord, the spring 25 will project the head and the forward portion of the body to the position'as shown in Fig. 3. y
When the device is out of use, the head 8 is retracted within the tubular member l and the button 5 is inserted within the open end of the tube 1 in the position as shown in Fig. 1, so that the short end 6 of the cord 3 will act as a wedge against theV wall-as at 13 in Fig. 1, to retain the button firmly within theend of the tube and against the eX- treme outer end of the headr 8. lThus, the object is held within the tube and against the tension of the spring 25. Vhen it is desired to use the toy,.the cord 3 is pulled upon to release the button in the open end of the tube 1.
What is claimed is:
1. A toy, including a tubular handle having a sealed end, a bellows mounted therein and having one end i'ixedly connected to the sealed end, a spring incased within the bellows and having a normal tension to extend lwithout the open end of the tubular member, a solid head member mounted in the outer end of the bellows'and disposed to be projected by the spring, a flexible cord connected kto said head and slidably mounted in thesealed end of the tubular member and operable exteriorly thereof, and means mounted upon the outer end of the iexible connection for closing theopen end of the tube to retain the solid head and spring contracted within the tubular member.
2. A toy, including a tubular handle having a sealed end, a bellows mounted therein and having one end fiXedly connected to the sealed end, a spring incased within the bellows and having a normal tension to extend without the open end of the tubular member, a solid head member mounted in the outer end of the bellows and disposed to be projected by the spring, a flexible cord connected to said head and slidably mounted in the sealed end of the tubular member and operable eXteriorly thereof, an operating button mounted upon the flexible connection adjacent the free end and providing a short terminal upon the ieXible connection, said button and short terminal coacting to engage the wall at the open end of the tubular member to lock the button therewithin and retain the spring contracted with the head within the tubular member.
3. A toy, having a tubular member provided with a sealed end having a concentric the bellows, said spring within the bellows normally exerting a tension to project a portion thereof and the solid head eXteriorly of the tubular member, a cord slidably mounted through the concentric aperture of the tubular member and having one end connected to the head while the other end is projected eXteriorly of the tubular member,
-a button of substantially the samediameter as the open portion of the tube disposed upon the cord adjacent the opposite end to the head and providing a short terminal of greater length than the diameter of the button, and a knot formed upon the extreme end of the short terminal, whereby when the head and spring are contracted within the tubular member, the button and short terminal of the cord coact with the walls of 1 the open end of the tube to seal the same and lock the spring against outward displacement.
In testimony that -I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afliXed my. signature yin the presence of two witnesses.
aperturetherethrough, a bellows having one end connected within the tubular member, a solid head connected to the opposite end ofY g the bellows, a coiled spring inclosed within EDVARD SWEENEY.
