To ail whom t may concern.'

Be it known that i, JAMES A. MCCOL'LUM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pawnee, in the county of Pawnee and State i this application is adapted to be attached to the cap of' the radiator of an automobile, to

serve as an ornament. l

One object. of the invention is to provide astructure of the kind mentioned, which may be fashioned at tritli'ng expense out osheet metal or some similar substance.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide novel means for mounting the attachment for movement. with respect to the radiator cap.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the present invention appertains.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description 'proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement ot parts und in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can bemade within the scope ot'ivhat is claimed, without departing 'from thc spirit ot the invention.

1n the accompanyingdrawings Figure 1 shows in side elevation, a device constructed inv accordance with the invention;

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fi. 1, a part of the upper plane remaining in elevation;

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2; Y

Fig. fi is a section on the line ot' Fig. 2, diiferent parts being omitted; and

Fig. 5 is an elevation showing a slight modiiication, parts being broken away.

T he structure formino* the subject matter of this application preferably is made ot metal throughout and includes' an upper plane 1 provided on its front and rear edges and near its central portion with underlying ianges. r1`l1e numeral 3 marks a lower plane, provided with overhanging Iianges 4t' aiined vertically with the flanges 2 on the plane 1. Disposed between the planes 1 and 2 at the corners thereofl are struts 5 having lateral fingers 6 which engage the innersurfaces of the planes l and 2, the struts having fingers 7 which pass through the planes 1 and 2 and engage the outer surfaces thereof, the construction being such that the planes 1 and 2 are held together against separation and against moving toward each other.

The invention comprises a body 8 located between the planes 1 and 2, the body comprising a bottom 9 resting on the lower plane 3 and engaged at its front and rear edges by the iianges et of the piane 3, the bottom 9 being provided along one edge with an up standing flange 10. A side 11 upstands from the opposite edge of the bottom 9 and is connected with a top 12 bearing against the under surface of the upper plane 1 engaged at its end by the flanges 2 ot the upper plane. A side 1li extends downwardly .trom the top 12 and bears against the outer surface oi the flange 10, the tiange having a tongue 1'5 extended through the side 14 and clenched down. thereon, the construction being'such that the bottom 9, the side 11, the top 12 and the side lei will be held in box-like form. The rear ends 16 of the sides 11 and 14 extend backwardly beyond the bottoni 9 and the top 12 and converge, the rear ,extremities ot the parts 16 being in contact as shown at 17, and being supplied with outwardly projecting wings 18 portions 17 of the body isp-rovided' with a bendable tongue 19 extended thrpugh the other contacting portion and clenched down thereon to hold the parts 17together. The forward extremity of the side 11 merges into a transverse end wall 20, extended as shown at 21, so as to overlap the outer side of the member 14, the extension 2lhavting a tongue 22 prolonged through the side 1li and clencheddown thereon. The side 111 merges into a transverse end wall 23 disposed to the rear oi' the end wall 2G and terminating in a tongue 24e 2.7 is journaled on the shaft 25 in front ofi the 'end wall 2t). A boss 28 is struck up'from the upper plane 1 between the sides 11 and. la of the body and receives rotatably, a head veXtended through the fore` ward extremity of the side 11 and clenchedv maat-ea uw, ena Wang 2a- One of the contacting irev afi-ion one part 30 of a standmd 31 the part 30 of the standard passing vertically lawns ward through a. top l2 of the body 8, the top el' the body having a eoinplemental boss 40 wherein the head 29 is received. The con- Strne'tion, obviously, is such that the aero pluie above described is journaled to rotate on the part 30 ci ldie standard 3l. The standard 3l includes a lower part 32 spaced laterally :from the part 30 et' the standard and united herewith by a horizontal eonneetion E3, The numeral Sli marks a radiator Cap having` ay stein 35 fashioned into a elix The lower parl; 32 of the standard l is journaled for rotation in the helix 36, ne eoi'niectirm 33 restingzl ontop olf the helix, s p'port the standard 3i, and consequently pport the aeroplane. if ldesired, the stein may be straight, as shown at 8S, the numeral 37 markingthe cap wherewith the stein is assembled, the head of the siem, correspoinling to the part :'23, being indicated at 239. changes made in the standard, this form of the invention constructed like the. form above described y rlhe aeroplane can rotate on the upper part of the standarf 31, and the lower part el? the standard can rotate in the helix 36. @ons quently, the aeroplane isv mounted for Mutation about an axis, and to travel in an oz'bi...

Aside :from theI 2. ln a device of the class described, a miniature aeroplane embodying upper and lower planes and a box-like body between the planes, the planes having flanges enraging the top and the bottom of thebody.

3. ln a device of the class described, -a

Aminiature aeroplane comprising an upper plane; a lower plane; a box-like body be tween the planes, the body including sides extended rearwardly beyond the planes, the sides being extended forwardly beyond the planes, the forwardly extended portions olf the sides having` end walls; a shaft carried by the end walls; and a dummy propeller mounted on the shaft.

4i. A miniature aeroplane comprising a body including a bottom having an upstandi ing flange, a side upstanding from the bottom, a top projecting` from the side, and a second side extendingr downwardly from the top and overlapped on the flange, the sides having rear extensions which converge into contact, the sides having forward extensions provided with transverse end walls located one behind the other; a shaft carried oy the end walls; a dummy propeller on the Shaft; an upper plane mounted on the top; and a lower plane mounted on the bottom.

'ln a device of the' Class described, upper and lower planes; a boxslilre body between the planes and includingl a top; and a standard comprising an enlarged head journaled for rotation between the top and the upper plane, the standard passing downwardly through the body and through the lower plane.

ln testimony that li. claim the foregoing as my own, l have hereto aiiix'ed my signal ture in the presence of two witnesses.
