specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed February .28, 1917. Serial No. 151,385.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK '1. Airman, av citizen of the United States-of America, residing at New York city, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Push-ToyJig gcrs, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descrlptlon.
This invention relates to improvements in dancing or jigging toys, the objectbeing to.
provide a jointed figure mounted upona wheeled support or platform {and connected to some moving part of the running gear of the support so asto causethe figureto. dance or jig while, the support isbeing moved, preferably pushed.
mechanism for the figure; Fig. 3 is an en-- larged plan view of the disk which forms part of the operating mechanism; Fig. 4 is an enlarged edge view of the disk, a portion of the shaft which carries the figure, being also illustrated; Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional diagrammatic view of the mechanism for preventing the actuation of the figure, the section being taken on a line 5-5 in Fig. 1. As herein embodied, my invention comprises a platform or support (5 having two wheels 7, and two wheels 8, one only of each of said wheels being shown. The front wheels 7 are carried by a block 9, the rear wheels 8 being connected to a rotary axle 10 supported by a casing 11 secured to the platform 6.
Within the casing 11 and secured to the axle 10, I located a spider 12 consisting of a plurality of radially disposed arms 13 to impinge upon, raise, and rotate a disk 14 secured to a vertical rod or shaft 15, to which a figure 16 is preferably firmly secured, the arms 17 of the figure being preferably pivotally secured to the body 18 at 18*. The legs of the figure consist ofsec- Special means are provided to prevent that part of the tions 19 and 20 sections 19 being figure at 22.
The rod or shaft 15 by the platform 6 and casing 11 andis adaptedfor vertical movement. To. simulate jigging, motion is imparted to the fig vertically;
ure 16 by moving the shaft 15 the said shaft being moved vertically by the rotation ofthespider 12. As will be seen in Fig. 2 the arms 13 impinge upon the disk 1.4 from the dotted position -to the fullline:
position, thereby causing the shaft 15 and thefigure carried thereby to rise. When an arm leaves the disk 1 1 the shaft and figure will drop.
will rise and fall rapidly, causing the jointed legs to assume various positions;- To impart.
simulating dancing or jigging. to the figure a rotary movement as well as a vertical movement, I form the dis-1:14 so, as to include a plurality of angularly dis-, that is to say, angular-1y. to the axis of the shaft 15. Giving to the angular d'ispositionof thef posed blades 24, disposed relative said blades, the disk 14 will be partly rotated as well ,as raised, each time an arm 13 strikes one of said blades. It is believed that this effect will be apparent and needs no further description.
To prevent the wheels 8 from rotating,
thereby preventing the actuation of the spider 12, when the support is moved in =1 direction opposite to the direction intended to operate the figure 16, I provide in this instance a coil-spring 2% having a projecting end normally engaging the spokes26 of one of the wheels 8 (see Fig. 5). When moved in the proper direction, the spokes 26 will brush by the end 25 of the spring 24. Should the wheels 8 tend to rotate in the opposite direction, a spoke of an adjacent wheel will strike the end 25 of the spring 24 and force it against a pin 27, thereby preventing further rotation of the wheel. The spring 24 is supported by a post 28 on the platform 6. The object of permitting rotation of the wheels in one direction only is to prevent the arms 13 from forcing the disk 14 downwardly or in other words from striking it from above.
What I claim as my invention is:
l. The, combination of a support, rota- Patented J an. 1, 1918.
pivoted together at 21., the. pivoted to the body of theis .slidably supported During the rotation of the spider, which is caused by pushing theplat-f form by means of the liandleQS, the figure;
table ground Wheels therefor, a dancing ure carried by said support, operating means for regularly rotating and lifting said figure, and means operable by the said wheels to actuate the figure operating means.
2. The combination of a support, rotatable ground wheels therefor, a dancing figure carried by said support, operating means for said figure, means operable by the said wheels to actuate the figure operating means, and means to permit the rotation of said wheels in one direction only.
3. A support mounted on wheels, in combination with a dancing figure carried thereby and mounted on a vertically movable rotatable rod, a disk provided with inclined vanes arranged to give said rod both a vertical and a rotary movement when said vanes are struck from below, a rotary spider arranged to be driven by one'of said ground wheels and to strike upward with its spokes against the lower side of said vanes successively.
4:. T he combination of a support, rotatable wheels on which it is mounted, a dancing figure carried by said support, operating means for said figure, means operable by the said wheels to actuate the figure operating means, and a yieldable latch to permit the rotation of the wheels in one direction only.
' 5. The combination of a support, rotatable wheels on which it is mounted, a dancing fig ure carried by said support, operating means for said figure, means operable by the wheels of said support to actuate the figure operating means, a spring carried by said support having a projecting end engaging the spokes of an adjacent wheel operating said figure, and a stop-pin to prevent the yielding of the projecting end of said spring when the wheel tends to rotate in a direction opposite to the direction intended to operate the figure.
6. The combination of a platform, a vertically movable post carried thereby, a ointed figure secured to said post, a disk carried by said post with vanes inclined for operation when struck from below to lift and rotate said figure, a rotatable axle carried by said platform, ground wheels secured to said axle, means carried by the axle arranged to strike the under surface of said disk and raise and simultaneously turn the movable post, said means being incapable of such operation when striking said disk from above, and means for preventing this latter contact.
7. The combination of a platform, a vertically movable post carried thereby, a jointed figure secured to said post, a. disk carried by said post, a rotatable axle carried by said platform, wheels secured to said axle, means carried by the axle arranged to strike the under surface of said disk and raise the movable post during the rotation of the axle, and means to permit the rotation of said axle in one direction only.
