Appli-cation filed March 22, 1916.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that we, ABRAHAM GARBEIL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and tate of Pennsylvania, and ALBERTO CIMO- nosi, a subject of the King of Italy, residing at Glassboro, county' of Gloucester, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Explodible Paper Toys, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in explodible paper toys, the object of the invention being to provide a paper toy which represents submarine warfare and gives the impression of a torpedo red from a submarine and blowing up a larger vessel.

A further object is to provide a toy of the character described which can be manufactured and sold at an extremely low price, and which will most efhci'ently perform the functions for which it is intended.

With these and other objectsin view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

ln the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a view in side elevation illustrating one form of our improvements. Fig. 2 is a view in transverse section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view in longitudinal section. Fig. 4 is a view in transverse section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a view in side elevation illustrating a modification. Fig. 6 is a view in section on the line 6 6 of Fig.V 5. Fig. 7 is a. view in side elevation illustrating another modification, and Fig.

8 is a view in section on the line 8 8 of Fig. 7.

Referring particularlyto Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, l represents the base of our improved toy which is composed of a single paper blank, the base 1 extending throughout the length of the toy and having at its respective ends triangular casings 2 and 3. rllhe casing 2 is appreciably smaller than the casing 3, but both casings are constructed alike. They each form an integral part of the base strip 1, and are folded on the fold lines 4, 5, and G, and are provided with tongues 7 which are projected through slots 8 in the base 1 to hold the casings in triangular formation. These casings are reinforced by Specification of Letters Patent.

iiaps or tongues 9, integral with the base 1, and folded inside of the casings as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and 4. On the base strip 1, a tube 110 is secured. This tube 10 is preferably of paper formed in any approved manner, and provided near one end with an angular crimp 11 which divides the tubes into a relatively long fuse 12 Vand a relatively short explosive compartment 13. The fuse 12 is formed by a line of powder or suitable chemical which when ignited burns with .a hissing sound until the explosive compartment 13 is reached when there is a loud report from the explosive compartment and a shattering of the casing 3. On the casing 2, we preferably locate the representation of a submarine, and on casing 3 the representation of la ship, the latter shown sinking in the water as a result of a torpedo explosion, hence when the fuse is lighted, the toy gives the realistic appearance of a submarine discharging a torpedo and blowing up a ship.

In the modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a cardboard sheet 14 is supported by a. prop 15, which extends through a slot 16 in the sheet 14. On the back of the sheet 14, we secure a. tube 10 corresponding to the tube-10 above described, and on the front of the sheet 14, we show representations of the submarine and ship.

in the Amodification shown in Figs. 7 and 8, 17 represents a cardboard sheet having a supporting tongue 18 bent from a central portion 19 of the sheet 17. The sheet 17 is cut so that one end 2O thereof is relatively small, and the other end 21 is .relatively large, and these end portions 20 and 21' contain the representations of a submarine and ship respectively. Gn the back of the sheet 17, we secure a tube 10 corresponding to the tube ofthe forms'above described.

It will be noted that with all forms of our invention, the idea is conveyed of a submarine in the act of blowing up a ship, and the result of the explosion is the destruction of the toy, so that in appearance and effect, the idea of submarine warfare is carried out.

Various other slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from our invention, and -hence we do not limit ourselves to the precise details set forth, b-ut consider ourselves at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall With-VV in the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described our invention, What we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. An explodible toy having aV front portion representing a submarine and a. larger vessel and composed of fragile material, a rear portion extending from said front portion and forming means for supporting the Y front section ina raised position, a container in which an explosive mixture is located, said container being Ypositioned between the front and rear portions, and av fuse connected to said container, substantially as described. 2. An explodible toy having a front portion representing a submarine and a larger 'vessel and composed of fragile material, a

base strip, casings on the base strip, an ex-k plosive mixture 1n`s1de of one casing, and a kbase strip, triangular casings on the respective ends of the base strip, one relatively large and the other relatively small lrepresenting a ship and submarine respectively, and a tube secured on the base strip and extending under both casings, said tube containing an explosive mixture in the relatively large casing, and a line of fuse in the relatively small casing communicating with the explosive mixture, substantially as described.

5. A paper toy, comprising a base strip, triangular casings on the respective endsv of the base strip, one relatively large and the other relatively small representing a ship and submarine respectively, substantially as described. Y

In testimony whereof We have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
