UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ALEXANDER BUGKMAN AND EDWARD BUGKMAN, OF BROOKLYN, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT, IN TOY STEAM FIRE-ENGINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 32,799, dated November 5, 1872; antedated November 2, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ALEXANDER BUCK- MAN and EDWARD BUCKMAN, both of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Operative Toy Steam Fire-Engine, of which the following is a specification:
This invention consists in the arrangement of a boiler, steam-engine, and lamp, a watertank and a pump, in and on the body of a wheeled carriage or truck, whereby a working toy steam fire-engine, of very attractive appearance and simple and cheap construction, is obtained.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a side view of a toy steam fire-engine made according to our invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same; and Fig. 3 is a plan of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts in the several figures.
A is the water-tank, which forms the body of the truck or carriage of the toy, and is supported on two pairs of wheels. B B and G (J, the axles of the latter of which are rigidly secured to its rear portion and the former swiveled or secured by a king-bolt to its front portion. 0n the .rear portion of the top of the tank A the boiler-stand D is secured. It is made of reticulated or perforated sheet metal to provide for a perfect circulation of air to the lamp E, which is arranged within it,
' supported, and on whose top a steam-engine,
G, of the horizontal oscillating kind, is ar= ranged. H is the pump, which is of the upright reciprocating plunger kind, and the lower portion of whose cylinder or barrel is secured in the upper side of the tank A, so that it communicates with the interior thereof. It is provided with an air-vessel, I, furnished with a hose, K, and its plunger is connected by'a rod, J, swiveled thereto witha crank. b, on the fly-wheel c of the steam-engine G. The front portion of the top of the tank is furnished with ornaments resembling the appurtenances of a steam fire-engine, and attached to the rear portion of the bottom of said tank, under the boiler F, there is a perforated or reticulated box, L, intended to represent the ash-box of a fire-engine, and thereby to make the toy bear greater resemblance to the former. The water-tank is filled with water through an opening, (1, provided in it under the lamp, and the steam-boiler through a filling-head on which the engine is arranged.
To start the engine, the lamp is filled, inserted in place, and lighted, and as soon as steam is generated in the boiler the engine operates, and, through the medium of its crank 12 and the rod J, works the plunger of the pump up and down, and so forces a stream of water through the hose K. The toy may be drawn around from place to place, as desired, and will prove a very attractive toy; and its simplicity and cheapness of construction will bring it within the reach of all.
Claim.
The arrangement of the water-tank A, boilerstand D, lamp E,boiler F, engine G, and pump H, in and on the body of the carriage, substantially as described, whereby a cheap operative toy steam fireengine is produced.
