To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MURmL V. blows, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Sand Toys, of which the following is a specification.
Children delight in playing with moist sand, as beach sand, for instance, and, with theirhands and crude utensils, build forms which simulate various objects.
This invention has for its object the provision of a device with which moist sand may be associated by which to simulate distinctive objects such as trees, shrubs, etc., although efiective results may be obtained by the employment of dry. sand, and also by the employment of both moist and dry sand.
The device consists essentially of a stem, the lower end-portion of which is adapted to bedded therein,.and one or more supportingplates arranged thereon and adapted to be supported thereby in elevated position, the said plate or plates being adapted to receive and support a quantity of moist or dry sand, or both, which is usually arranged thereon in an irregular manner, thereby to simulate a tree or shrub. The plate or plates may be made of different designs,.and of dilierent sizes, and maybe resilient. To insure stability, in case it is desired to elevate the supporting-plate or plates well above the level of the sand, one or more base-plates may be attached to the lower end of the stem which are .adaptedto be embedded in sand.
Another object of the invention is the provision of one or more baseeplates of dimensions which differ from the supportingplates, and which may be of any desired shape, thus adapting them to serve as supporting-plates, when the device is reversed, in position, so that distinctive objects of different dimensions or other distinctive ob jects may be simulated.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a device with which sand may be associated to simulate distinctive objects such as trees, shrubs, etc. Fig. 2 is a plan view of thedevice of Fig. 1. Figs. 3 and tare side and plan views of a modification to be referred to. Figs.
5 and 6 are side and plan views of another modification. Fig. 7 is a View of the device of Fig. 5, with sand thereon. Fig. 8 is a side elevation of another modification. Fig. 9 is a side view of the device of Fig. 5, reversed. Fig. 10 is a plan view of a modified form of supporting-plate. Fig. 11 is a side view of the form-shown in Fig. 6, having sand arranged on its supporting-plate.
10 represents the stem, which consists of a small or slender piece of wood, wire or other material, and v 12 and 13 are supportingplates arranged thereon in any suitable manner at or near one end, and spaced apart. They are preferably arranged in horizontal planes, and may be fixed or rotatably mounted on the stem, a short distance remote from its end, leaving a projecting end-portion. They may be made of different dimensions, and designs, and also may be resilient. The stem 10 is adapted to be arranged in upright position in the sand, and moist or dry sand, or a mixture of these, will be arranged upon the supporting- plates 12 and 13, the sand being piled thereon more or less loosely. In case a single supportingplate is employed, which is of circular formation, see Figs. 5, 6, and 7, a bay tree or similar distinctive object may be simulated; or in case the supporting-plate is of irregular shape, comprising numerous arms, as 20, extended in various directions from the stem, see Fig. 10, another kind of tree or shrub will be simulated; in case two supporting-plates are employed, see Figs. 1 to 4, one may be made of larger dimensions than the other; in case the plate or plates are rotatably mounted on the stem, and comprising arms extended in various directions, they may be turned relatively to one another, to thus vary the shape of the distinctive object which will be formed. It is an advantage to have the end of the stem project a short distance above the supporting-plate or plates, to assist in holding the pile of moist sand in place.
15 and 16 represent base-plates which may be arranged on the stem in a manner similar to the supporting-plates, and when said base-plate or .plates are embedded in the sand, the stability of the device will be increased. Said base-plates may, like the supporting-plates, be made of dilierent dimensions and of various designs. If desired, the device may be reversed in position, see Fig. 9, and distinctive objects of different dimensions, or other distinctive objects may be simulated. The base-plates, like the supporting-plates, are preferably attached to the stem a short distance remote from its end, and for the same reason. When the device is reversed, the supporting-plate or plates 12 and 13 Will be embedded in the sand.
