CALVIN C. MILLER, OF SUMMITHILL, PENNSYLVANIA.
FIGURE 7 TOY.
Application filed August 10, 1816.
To all whom it, may concern:
Be it known that I, CALVIN C. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Summithill, in the county of Carbon and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Figure Toys of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates broadly to toys, and more particularly to a figure toy.
As the primary object, this invention contemplates the provision of a toy embodying a movable figure arranged over a wash tub, the figure having pivotally connected arms which move up and down the washboard imitating a person washing clothes.
It is another object of this invention to provide novel means for connecting the two sections of the figure in order that the body portion which has the arms connected thereto, will rock back and forth so that the arms will be moved up and down the washboard.
It is a more specific object of this invention to provide friction means for actuating the figure; and to otherwise improve the construction and arrangement of parts so that when assembled they will efficiently actuate.
A still further object of my invention resides in the provision of a device of the character described that is simple in construction, efiicient in operation and one that can be manufactured and placed on the market at a minimum cost.
Other objects as well as the nature, characteristic features and scope of my invention will be more readily understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims forming a part of this specification.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention showing particularly the operating means.
Fig. 2 is also a side elevation of my invention illustrating to advantage the means for connecting the sections of the figure.
Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of my invention.
Referring more particularly to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate like and corresponding parts throughout the different views, I provide a base 1 on which is mounted adjacent one end thereof a supporting bench 2. A miniature wash tub 3 is connected to the bench and ppor ed y th lette a d also h a mi a- Specification of Letters Eetent.
Patented Feb. 19, 1918..
Serial no, 114,221.
Also mounted on the upper surface of the base and positioned adjacent the washboard is a figure composed of a vertical supporting section 5 and a body section 6 having a rounded lower edge 7 which is receivable within the recess 8 in the upper surface of the section 5. Brackets 9 are rigidly connected to the respective sides of the stationary section. An arm 10 is rigidly connected through the medium of a suitable securing element 11 to the lower side of the body section 6 while the inner end of the arm is bent at right angles and is passed through the alining openings in the upper ends of the bracket 9 and the body section 6 as indicated by the numeral 12. By this arrangement it is apparent that the body section 6 is movable with respect to the stationary supporting section Arms 13 are pivotally connected to the sides of the body section 6 adjacent the head 14 while a block 15 is pivotally mounted between the hands 16. This block represents a piece of cloth that is being washed and is adapted to lie upon the washboard as are the arms.
In order to actuate the toy I have provided a connecting rod 17 the upper end of which is looped as at 18 and pivotally connected thereby to another loop 19 formed on the outer end of the arm 10. The opposite end of the connecting rod is looped as at 20 and loosely arranged about the crank portion 21 ofthe shaft 22, the latter being rotatably mounted in'the stationary section 5. A friction wheel 23 is preferably rigidly mounted on the opposite projecting end of the shaft and is frictionally engaged by another shaft 24 the respective ends of which are rotatably mounted on the section 5 of the figure and on the vertical standard 25 secured as at 26 to one side of the base. A large wheel 27 which serves as a weight is carried by the shaft 2% intermediate its ends so as to weight the shaft 2i and thereby increases frictional engagement of the frictional wheel 23 and the shaft 2-1.
1 The operation of my invention is as folows:
A string (not shown) is preferably wound about the shaft 24 and as it is unwound therefrom the shaft will be rotated. Because of the frictional engagement of this shaft with the wheel 23 the latter will be rotated and will consequently actuate the I tub. Attention is also directedto the'ar desire it to be understood that I am crank shaft 21. As the connecting ro is connected to the crank shaft 21 and to the arm 10 which latter is in turn rigid with" the body section, the said body section will be rocked back and forth and 'simultaneously with this movement the pivoted arms 13 will move the block 15 up and down the washboard. V I
Although I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention not to be limited to. theexact details shown, however, I desire that great stress be laid upon the arrangement of the figure toy which ,im'itates a person washing clothes over the wash rangement of the means for moving one section relative to the otherand consequently cause the arm to move up and down the washboard, Incidentally at this point, it may alsobe stated that other means may be employed for moving the figure. V From tlie'above description taken in con-c 'nection with the accompanying drawings, it canieasily bev seen that I have provided a fdevice' that is simple in construction, con- 'taining but a few simple parts that can be cheaply manufactured and assembled and when assembled can beplaced upon themarket and sold at a minimum cost. It will be understood that the above description and accompanying drawings comprehend onlythe general embodiment of my invent on and'that various minor changes in detail of constructiomproportion andan.
I rangement of the parts may be made within the scope of the appended claims and without sacrificingiany of the advantages of my invention.v

what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is :r
copies of-this patentmay be obtained for 1. A toy figure including a base, a receP-i tacle thereon, a wash board in the receptacle,
