Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 30, 1916.
Application filed March 9, 1916. Serial No. 83,076.
To all whomz't may concern: Be it known that I, AMELIA MORSE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county-and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedNursery- Rattle, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to games and toys and has particular reference to playthings for small children.
Among the objects of the invention 1s to provide a nursery rattle having sounding features-to attract the ear of the child, and relatively movable figured parts to attract and more or less educate the eye of the child.
Without unnecessarily limiting the device to any particular form or design, the same being adapted also to be made of various types of materials so long as its sanitary nature is conserved, the improvement lies in the arrangements and combinations hereinafter more specially referred to and clalmed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of one form of the invention; Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line 22 of Fig. 1, certain parts being changed in their position; Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 33 of Fig. 1; Figs. 4 and 5 are developments of suggestive ornamentations applied to the sounding devices; Fig. 6 is a plan view of another form of the invention; Fig. 7 is a vertical section of the same on the line 77 Fig. 8 is a horizontal section of the same on the line 88; Fig. 9 is a sectional detail on the line 99 of Fig. 6; Fig. 10 is a development of the sides of the sounding device shown in Fig. 9; Figs. 11 and 12 are developments of the ornamental features of other sounding devices; and Figs. 13 and 14 are top and bottom plan views of the spherical soundlng device.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings I show a holder comprising a frame 20 of annular form made of rigid material of any suitable sanitary nature and of sufiicient strength to resist the ordinary use for which it is intended. A bar 21 extends diametrically across the frame 20 and is secured at its end in said frame in fixed position. One or more sounding devices 22 of any suitable form or design, but of an attractive appearance, are 'mounted upon the bar 21 for sliding and rotary movement. In the form now under consideration these sounding devices are made in the form of hollow cylinders and have the bar 21 projected through the centers of the circular ends 23 thereof. The cylindrical surface or portion of the sounding device in this form may be dec0 rated in any suitable attractive manner for the amusement or instruction of the child, preferably in a manner to illustrate nursery rhymes or the like, as suggested in Figs. at and 5. Preferably these illustrations are arranged in series so that the successive figures or sets of the series are brought into view in proper sequence when the sounding device is rotated around the holder or support therefor.
To add to the attractiveness of the device as a childs plaything or amusement appa-' ratus, I provide, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, one or more internal rings or frames 24 movably mounted upon the same bar 21, the bar being arranged diametrically thereof. Each of the sounding devices may be mounted within the interior frame or ring 24, and they are movable relatively to each other both for sliding and rotating movements.
In the modified form of the invention shown in Figs. 6 to 14, I provide a similar annular frame20 having a plurality of supporting bars 21 secured therein and arranged substantially at right angles to each other, though obviously the number may be varied and the precise angle at which they may be disposed is subject to many modifications, without departing from the spirit of the invention. In this form of the invention is depicted the suggestion of pro viding sounding devices having a number of geometric forms whereby the child is made familiar with such forms at an early age, and yet not detracting in any manner from the amusement feature of the article. For example, there are provided sounding devices 22 in the form above described; 25 of spherical form; 26 in the form of a tetrahedron, and 27 of cubical form. While the cylindricalform is shown as mounted to rotate around the axis corresponding to the centers of the circular ends, it is obvious that this arrangement may be varied and that the axes of the other geometric forms may be varied from those suggested by the drawings. In any event, however, each of these sounding devices is provided upon its decorated surface with a series of companion illustrations adapted to be brought successively into view by movement of the device upon'its axis. In fact, one of the most important features of this dex' ice, which is attracting great attention by the public, is the fact that the child is given the impression that he is dealing with amoving picture apparatus. Fig. 9 is intended to illustrate the form of one of these rotating slidable sounding devices in cross section, and the remaining figures show various suggestions of suitable surface decorations, all of which are attractive to the small child.
I claim 1. In a nursery rattle, the combination of a holder and a hollow sounding member mounted upon said holder and adapted for both slidable and rotating movement with respect thereto, said sounding member having a series of companion views formed thereon toattract the attention of the child and brought into view in succession during such rotation.
2. In a nursery rattle, the combination of a holder including a bar, a sounding body mounted upon said bar for longitudinal sliding movement and also for rotation around the same, said hollow body having formed upon its surface a series of attractive views adapted to be brought into the view of the child in succession during such rotation.
3. In a nursery rattle, the combination of a holder including an open frame and a bar extending diametrically across the same, and a plurality of hollow sounding bodies mounted upon said bar for longitudinal movement and rotation independently of each other, said hollow bodies each having formed upon its surface remote form the bar a series of companion illustrations to attract the eye of the child.
