MOVING PICTURE BOO'K. APPLICATION min JULY 16. 1915.
Patented Apr. 4, 1916.
WILLIM C. ROBERTSON, OF MINNEAPOLIS, -MIINN'ESOIA.
MOVING-PICTURE BOOK.
To all 'whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I," WILLIAM C. ROBER soN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Moving-Picture Books; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has for its object to pro- Vide a moving picture book; and, to this end, it consists of thenovel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter described and defined in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring tothe drawings: Figure 1 is an elevation of the front cover or leafof the moving picture book;l and Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken on the line m2 on Fig. 1.
The book illustrated comprises two leaves or clover plates 1 and 2 connected at their left hand edges `by a hinge joint 3. Coincident annular sight openings 4 and 5 are formed in the upper righthand corners of the cover plates 1 and 2, respectively.
On the cover plate 1 is illustrated a stage 6, an orchestra 7 represented by different animals, an audience 8, and a moving picture machine 9, from which diverging lines representing a shaft of light 10 extend to the sight opening 4. This sight opening 4 represents the spot light produced by the moving picture machine 9 on a screen above the stage 6. The first two verses of a story 1l are printed on the cover plate 1. 'The reel on which the storyllis pictorially illustrated, is inthe form of a disk 12 rotatively mounted between Lthe cover plates 1 and 2 on a sleeve-equipped pivot pin 13. The ends of the pivot pin 13 are extended' through the.
cover plates 1r and 2, and upsetto hold the same 1n' place, and also to hold the two" cover plates closed upon the disk 12. -On the face ofthe disk 12, next to the cover plate 1, is illustrated a plurality of circum? ferentially spaced pictures 14, each of which illustrates one of the verses of the story 11. Circumferentially spaced finger pieces 15, in the form of notches. are cut in the periphery of the disk 12, 'and by which Enger pieces, a

step by step rotary movement may be imparted to said disk. The pictures 14 arey of substantially the same size as the sight openings 3 and 4 and are located the same distance from the axis'of the disk 12 as the sight openings- 3 and 4, so that under the rotation of the disk'12, the pictures 14 are successively moved into the field of the sight f opening 4. The verses of the story 11 and the pictures 14 are consecutively numbered and each verse and the picture illustrating the same are given the same identification mark.
The-mounting of the disk 12 between the cover plates 1 and 2 is such that a small edge portion-I of the disk always projects beyond the right hand edges of the cover plate. 1,It
is also important to note that when anyone of the pictures 14 isin the field of the sight opening 4two of the finger pieces 15 are projected outward of the cover plates 1 and 2, one directly above the other and close to the right handedges thereof. To impart a step of movement to the disk 12, the index finger of a hand Z indicated by broken lines in Fig. 1, is first placed in the upper notch 15, the adjacent edges of the cover plates 1 and 2 acting as a guide for directing the finger into said notch.` Then, by a down-l ward pull, the disk 12 may be rotated until the nger again engages the edges of the j cover plates 1 and 2 whichact as a stop to limit the step of movement of the disk 12.
The pictures 14 represent reel l. l.The second reel may be illustrated on the back of the disk '12' and viewed through thesight opening 5. The same stage setting appearing on the cover plate 1, or a different one, will, of course, be reproduced on the cover plate 2. The verses for the second reel will also be printed on the cover 2.
The cover plates 1 and 2, and also the disk 12 may be made of any suitable materials. y
It is, of course, understood that in place of the double cover plates, a single cover plate or body member may be used in conprinted on separate cards and held,ifor stance', in a pocket on the lcover plate.1 In
place of a story, a song may be illustrated, or any other desired subject.
In reading'the story to a child, the
12 is given a step of movement at the end'of each verse to bring into the field 'of the sight opening 4, which'the child is watch ing, the picture illustrating the verse being read.` As the edges of the covers' 1 and 2 act-as guides and stops for vthe finger in rotating the disk, the person reading the story does not have to take his eyes from the-l verses.
What I claim is: l. The combination with a body member having a sight opening 'and a 'story of different verses, of a plurality of pictures illustrating the different verses of the story,
and arranged to be successively moved Yinto n illustrations,
the field of the sight opening.
2. The combination with a body mem-r ber having a sight opening and a story of different verses, of a plurality of pictures illustrating the different verses of the story, and arranged to be successively moved. into the field of the sight opening, and duplicate identification marks for each verse of the` story and the respective picture illustrating the same.
3. The combination With a body member having a sight opening and a story of different verses, of a rotary disk having circumferentially spaced pictures illustrating the different verses of the story and arranged to be successively moved into the field of the sight opening.
4. The combination with a body member having a sight opening, of a rotary disk.
mounted on the body member and ,having circumferentially .spaced illustrations, said disk having circumferentially spaced finger pieces arranged to be successively projected outward of one of the edges of the body member under the rotation of the disk by the finger pieces to successively bring the 'representing the spot light pro lillustrations into the field of the sight opening, the edge of the-body member acting as avstop for the finger engaging the respective finger piece, to limit the rotary movement of the disk. v
4 5. A book comprising tWo leaves connected atI one of their edges, one ofthe 4leaves having a sight opening, a disk mounted between the leaves of the book and having a plulrality of circumferentially spaced illustra tions arranged'to be successivelymoved into the field of the sight opening, and a` fastener connecting the leavesof the book 'and the periphery of the disk arranged to be successively projected, outward beyond the leaves of the book under the rotation of the f disk by the finger pieces, for successively moving the illustrations into the eld of the sight opening.
7. The combination with a body member vhaving illustrated thereon, a moving picture machine and also having a sight opening moving picture machine, and radiating lines extending from the moving picture machine to the spot light, of a series of pictures aruced by the ranged to be successively moved into they' field of the sight opening.
`In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
