Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 20, 1917.
Application filed February 26, 1917. Serial No. 150,916.
To all whom it may concern;-
Be it known that 1, JOHN A. PETRIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sand-Wheel Toys; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in
Figure 1 a view in elevation of my improved sand-wheel toy with portions of the sand pail and combined pail-cover and sandwheel base broken away.
Fig. 2 a detached View in elevation of the sand-wheel frame, the sand wheel being shown at a right angle to the position in which it is shown by broken lines in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 a detached view of the sand pail which is shown at a right angle to the position in which it is shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 a view partly in elevation and partly in section, of the toy assembled and in operation.
Fig. 5 a detached plan view of the sandwheel frame.
Fig. 6 a detached perspective view of the sand-wheel hub.
Fig. 7 a corresponding view of one of the sand-wheel buckets.
My invention relates to an improvement in sand-wheel toys, the object being to produce a simple, compact, durable, attractive and interesting sand-wheel toy constructed with particular reference to being easily set up for use and as easily assembled for transportation.
With these ends in view, my invention consists in a sand-wheel toy having certain details of construction and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In carrying out my invention as herein shown, I employ a tapered bottomless sand pail 2 having an ordinary bail handle 3. This pail receives the sand when the toy is in use, and when not in use constitutes a hous ing for the sand-wheel frame which is constructed to fit into it, and which comprises, as shown, a circular flanged combined pailcover and wheel-base 4, a circular flanged pail-bottom 5 formed with a perforation 6 through which the sand flows, and three inclined uprights 7 permanently connecting the said parts 1 and 5 within the flanges thereof. A horizontal shaft 8 extending between the two oppositely located uprights 7 mounts the sand-wheel which consists, as shown, of a wooden hub 9 formed with regularly spaced radial slots 10 receiving the inner ends of sheet-metal sand-buckets 11. Sleeves 12 and 13 upon the shaft 8 position the wheel thereon under the perforation 6 in the pail-bottom 5 the flange of which is formed with an outwardly turned edge 14: upon which the lower edge of the bottomless sand-pail 2 rests when the toy is in use. A pulley 15 on the shaft 8 provides means for utilizing the power of the sandwheel for driving other toys, if desired.
For transporting the toy from place to place, the sand-wheel frame is turned upside down, as it were, and inserted into the pail 2 as shown in Fig. 1, the combined pailcover and base 4 then fitting overthe top of the pail and the pail-bottom 5 closing the bottom of the pail. To use the toy, the sand wheel frame is. removed from the pail, and reversed in position after which the open bottom of the sand-pail is set down over the flanged sand-pail bottom 5 so as to rest upon the edge 14 thereof as shown in Fig. 2. The pail 2 is now filled with sand which, running through the perforation 6 in the pailbottom 5, falls in a stream upon the buckets 11 of the sand-wheel and rotates the same, this continuing until all of the sand has run out of the pail.
It will be seen that my improved sandwheel toy is limited to two permanently organized structures, viz., a pail-structure, and a wheel-structure in which a sand-wheel is permanently mounted in position for use. Neither of these two structures requires adjustment to adapt them for use, beyond placing the pail-structure upon the wheelstructure.
I claim 1. In a sand-wheel toy, the combination with a bottomless sand pail, of a sand-wheel frame adapted to be housed therein and comprising a combined pail-cover and sandwheel base, a pail-bottom, and supports uniting the said parts; and a sand-wheel mounted in the said supports.
2. In a sand-wheel toy, the combination with a bottomless sand pail, of a sand-wheel frame adapted to be housed therein and comprising a combined pail-cover and sandwheel base, a pail-bottom, uprights connecting the said parts; a shaft mounted in the said uprights, and a sand-wheel mounted upon the said shaft.
3. In a sand-wheel toy, the combination with a bottomless sand pail, of a sand-Wheel frame comprising a combined pail cover and sand-wheel base, a perforated pail bottom, inclined uprights connecting the said parts, and a sand-wheel mounted between the said uprights and consisting of a radially slotted hub, and buckets inserted into the slots therein.
4. A sand-wheel toy having a bottomless pail, and a permanently organized wheelstructure adapted to be housed therein and comprising a combined pail-cover and sandwheel base providing a cover for the pail when the toy is not in use and a base for sup porting the toy when in use as a sand-wheel toy, a pail-bottom for closing the bottom of the pail when in use, means for permanently spacing the said combined cover and base and pail-bottom at a fixed distance apart, a wheel, and means for mounting the same in the vertical axis of the pail between the said cover and base in the said spacing means.
In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
