Application iean'ovember 4, reis, sien-a1 No; 120,459.
Be it known that I, CHARLES J. DoRsEY, a' citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Animals, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to toy animals and more particularly to toy horses. The object of the invention is to provide such toys of excellent quality, and bya simple and economical mode of manufacture.
The invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates the invention,-
Figure 1 is a perspective showing a pair of horses connected to a wagon;
Fig. 2 is al partial section on line 2 2 of Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a partial section at right angles to Fig. l; j
Fig. a is a detail view showing a portion of the head adjacent to and including an eye;
Fig. 5 is a View on an enlarged scale of an eye detached. l
The body, neck and head of the animal I make from piles of paper, preferably old newspapers, with an adhesive as glue, spread in among the sheets. This material when built up to the required thickness, is cut out and molded in two longitudinal halves, 1, each forming a half of a body, neck, and head. The edges of these molded halves are brought together and glued, and this forms the properly shaped body, neck and head. Over the joint between Vthese halves is pasted or glued a strong strip of cloth 2, to strengthen it. Such strips are only used in making toys of the larger sizes, it not being important in the smaller sizes. In mak-v ing these halves from paper it is proposed (particularly in the larger sizes) to inclose a wire mesh reinforce '4: within the mass of paper and adhesive, yas a strengthener.
It being foundy inconvenient to mold the parts forming the head with suitable projections 6 to accommodate the eyes 7 I build up such projections by hand, using a composition composed of fine saw-dust, glue and plaster of Paris. In or just below the eye projections, I secure eyes 7, which I form of round headed tacks, the heads thereof being first painted white or yellow, and the cen l tral parts of the tack heads being then painted black, and the tacks driven in at ther proper places. Such eyes are simple, easy of manufacture and of securing in place, and form an excellent simulation of natural eyes.
The nostrils 9 comprise tapering holes, the insides of which are painted red. The legs are sawed from sheets of wood, the lower part being of approximately the shape of the legs, and the upper parts being merely straight parts smaller than the corresponding parts of the legs. These ends are inserted in holes 11, in the paper body and glued therein. The legs from the knees up are then covered with a composition, as sawdust, glue and plaster of Paris, which is then molded by a workmans fingers, to proper shape, to represent the enlarged upper leg. The upper ends of the wood legs are notched at 12 to give the composition a good hold.
Over the body, neck, head and legs to near the hoofs, I secure an artificial skin. I have found that for this purpose I can use canton flannel, suitably dyed, and put on wrong side out. This makes a covering which is life-like, easily obtained, and not quickly worn out.
Each animal is secured to a board 13 by screws 14. When a double teamyis made, two such boards are secured side by side to common axles 15.l For a single team but one horse and board would be required, and the axles might be shorter.
The wheels, especially when of considerable size, are made of wood hubs and spokes, the latter being adapted to slip within the rim 16 built up of paper and glue or adhesive, and varnished, when they are hardly distinguishable from wood. Nails are then driven through the rims into the ends of the spokes.
I-Iaving described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent, and claim as my invention, is
1. A toy animal with body, neck and head comprising molded sections secured together edge to edge, molded eye bearing projections distinct from said sections but secured thereto, and a simulated skin of colored canton flannel wrong side out covering said body, neck and head, including said projections.
2. A toy animal comprsing'a molded material hea`d,eyerprojeotion Composition moldconsisting of round headedtacks sluita-hly 10 ings secured thereon, and artificial eyes sepainted. cured in proper relation thereto. In testimony whereof, I aix my signature 8. A toy animal oomprising' a' head of in presence of two Witnesses. molded material halves secured together and eye sockets built outward thereon, andeyes CHARLES J DORSEY' secured thereto. Witnesses:
4. A' toy animal ofmolded material, eye J. A. HILLEARY, Jr., socket extensions thereon, and artieial eyes .y W. MINGREssrr'r. I
