Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 29, 119119..
Application led November 30, 1918. Serial No. 264,814.
To all 'whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, EDITH F. KETTLIE', a citizen of the United States, residing at Medford, county of Middlesex, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Toys for Cats, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawing, is a specification, like characters on the drawing representing like parts.
This invention relates to a toy for cats of that type which is adapted to contain catnip. It is desirable that a toy of this class should be constructed so that it will readily roll, but will not injure any furniture with which it comes in contact, and also so that the cat may readily grasp it in her paws in 'order to push or throw it over the Hoor.
It is also an advantage to make a toy of this class in such a way that the cat can obtain access to the catnip in order to-devour it.
It is the object of my invention to provide a novel toy for cats which embodies all of these advantages, and in order to give an understanding of my invention, I have illustrated in the drawings a selected embodiment thereof which will now be described, after which the novel features will be pointed out in the appended claim.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a toy made in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a central sectional view of the toy.
The device shown in the drawings comprises a cylindrical shell 1 having two ends 2 inserted therein and forming between them a chamber 3 in which catnip is received. The cylindrical shell 1 is made of cardboard or some other similar material which is sufficiently stifll to retain its shape, but which is light in weight and is soft and yielding enough so that it will not mar or injure any furniture with which it comes in contact. Each head 2 is provided with a plurality of perforations 4; through which the odor of the catnip may be obtained, and is also provided with the peripheral liange 5 Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the which overlies the interior of the shell 1 and'may be secured thereto in any suitable way as by means of a proper adhesive. These heads 2 are situated a slight distance from the ends 6 of the cylindrical shell 1 so that the edge portions of the shell 1 constitute flanges 7 which project beyond the heads 2. The advantage of this construetion is that the flanges 7 afford means by which the cat can readily grasp and take hold of the toy for the purpose of rolling it or throwing it about the floor.
The ends 2 are preferably made relatively thin and are formed of some destructible material so that after playing with the toy the cat can break open and destroy the ends and thus gain access to the catnip. I nd that paper makes a good material for the ends because it can be readily formed into the desired shape with the peripheral anges 5, and when it is perforated, as shown in Fig. 1, the perforated portion thereof becomes weakened to such an extent that it can be readily broken, especially if the cat claws at it.
The device is simple and inexpensive to manufacture; it has the capability of rolling readily; the presence of the flanges 7 enable the cat to grasp it and manipulate it with ease, and it is so constructed that it will not injure the most highly-polished furniture.
I claim:
A toy for cats comprising a cylindrical shell and two perforated ends forming between them a catnip-receiving chamber, each end having a peripheral ange which overlies and is secured to the inner walls ofthe shell, the perforated portion at least of 'each end being of relatively thin and easily-destructible material, and both ends being situated a slight distance from the edges of the shell whereby the portions of the shell that project beyond the ends constitute a flange which the cat may grasp in playing with the toy.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specication.
EDITH F. KETTLIE.
