GEORGE J. KIERSTEAD, OF NEWARK, NEW J EBSEY.
TOY.
Application filed August 15, 1919.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE J. KrnRsTEAD, a citizen ofthc United States, and a. resident of Newark, county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a toy that is used for exploding paper caps, these caps being preferably provided in paper strips and are spaced apart so that they can be successively presented under a hammer.
The performance of this toy is similar to that of a toy gun, but the structure is different, the hammer being arranged on a handle and is operated by swinging the handle, the downward swing being stopped somewhat abruptly to give the required force to the hammer.
A further object of the invention is to provide a toy of this kind that has a guide for the strip of caps, which guide is constructed and disposed so that a finger of the hand holding the handle can 'be used for feeding the strip. The slight protuberance of the cap gives sufficient elevation for the finger and this aids in feeding the strip and also in gaging the distance the strip is fed, which distance is approximately the space between caps.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which the figure is a perspective view of my improved toy.
The device consists of a. suitable handle 10, the form of which can be varied, and a hammer 11, which also can be made of different forms, the hammer being hinged, as at 12, to the handle, so that it can freely swing on the handle and being preferably cut away at its rear or inner end, as at 13, so that the strip 1 1, which is provided with the caps 15, can be fed underneath the hammer from the rear. The hammer, in its descent, strikes with its outer end the outer end of the handle, which forms an anvil against which the hammer is adapted to be projected with sufiicientforce to discharge a cap lying on the anvil, the hammer being preferably weighted, in the form shown the plate 15' being secured thereto to give it sufficient weight and to give a broad striking surface so that the cap need only be approximately placed in order to be exploded.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 10, 1920.
Serial No. 317,835.
The caps are preferably fed forward by a finger of the hand, this term finger including also the thumb, the strip'being fed along the top of the handle from the back, the amount of feed, of course, being approximately the distance from one cap to the next.
In order to properly direct the strip 14 I provide a guide, which is preferably made of sheet metal, such as tin, having the overlapping parts 16 and 17 on each side of the guide, and is cut away, as at 18, so as to provide suflicient space for the entrance of a finger or the thumb of the hand wielding the toy to engage the paper strip in which the caps are arranged. The side piece 19 at the forward end of the opening 18 forms a stop so that the thumb, when it engages this stop, ceases to feed the strip and is a guide to indicate that the next cap has been placed where the hammer will hit it. The guide can be suitably secured in position, in the form shown the ears 20 being bent downward therefrom and fastened to the sides of the handle 10. The handle 10 can be of any suitable material, but I illustrate it as made of a piece of wood, and, if desired, the anvil 21 can be formed by extending the strip that forms the guide for the paper cap strip forward so that the hammer descends on the part 21.
It will be understood that various modifications can be made in the particular form and disposition of the parts shown herein without departing from the scope of the inventlon.
The operation of the device is easy and comes naturally to a person using the device, as when the handle is swungupward and backward, the hammer is swung back and at the same time the thumb of the hand holding the toy is pushed forward a slight distance, the thumb engaging a cap to give it a better hold on the strip, and the strip is fed forward. When the toy is then swung downward by the hand and given a sudden stop, the freely swinging hammer 11 descends and explodes the cap on the anvil 21, and this movement can be repeated at will until the strip of caps is consumed. The distances between the difierent parts and between the feeding and the exploding points can be varied, but the form shown is well adapted for the purpose, as the hand is protected from being burned when the caps are exploded.
The device can not get out of order on account of its simplicity and is easily operated as the fingers are not strained in the same manner as when manipulating a pistol;
I claim: 7 r
1. A toy of the kind described comprising a handle having a freely swinging hammer operated by swinging the handle, and a guide for conducting a strip of paper caps under the hammer and so located as to permit the feeding of the strip by hand.
2. A toy of the kind described comprising a handle with an anvil on its outer end, a freely swinging hammer onthe handle and engaging the anvil to explode the caps of a strip of caps,and a guide to conduct sa'i strip, the guide having an opening to permit a finger of the hand that grasps thehandle to engage the strip to feed it forward.
3. In! a toyof the kind described, a handle with a guide to conduct a strip of caps, said guide being disposed so that a finger of the hand grasping the handle can feed the strip through the guide.
4. A toy of the kind described comprising a handle, a swinging hammer, a guide with a slot in'the top tov permit a finger of the hand to engage a strip of caps in the guide,
and a stop in the slot to be engaged by the finger to limit the successive feeding of the strip.
5. A toy of the kind described comprising a handle with one end forming an anvil, a hammer hinged to the handle and operated by the swinging of the handle, a guide havinga channel for conducting a strip of caps to the anvil, the guide having an elongated opening in the top thereof for permitting the insertion of a finger of the hand grasping the handle, whereby the strip can be intermittently fed forward.
' In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I ha *e hereto set my hand, this 14th day of August, 1919. I
GEORGE J. KIERSTEAD.
