JOHN V. HAMILTON, JR., OF FORT SCOTT, KANSAS.
ToY.
t Bourbon and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an lIDPI'OVBIIlGllt in toys, and has for its object to provide a toy of the vehicle type, designed to simulate in figure an automobile, and to be so arranged that one seated in the vehicle may propel the same with the feet, and may guide the vehicle with the hands with a steering wheel.
in the drawings,
Figure 1 is a side view of the toy,
Fig. 2 is a partial vertical section,
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the operating mechanisms,
Fig. 4.- is a partial longitudinal section at one of the rear wheels.
In the present embodiment of the inven tion, the improved vehicle has a body composed of two similar plates 1, which are connected at their front ends by a bolster 2, and at their rear ends by a similar bolster 3. An axle 4 is supported by the bolster 3, the said axle at being 3ournaled in a sleeve 5, which is held to the bolster by clips 6 near its ends. The wheels 7 are secured to the ends of the axle, by means of floor plates 8 which thread onto the ends of the axle, securing thus the two wheels in a certain definite relation with respect to each other and the axle.
The front bolster has a front axle 9 pivoted thereto, and wheels 10 are journaled on the ends of the front axle. This axle is mounted to swing, and it is swung by means of a steering shaft 11 having a wheel 12 at its top, and connected with a steering arm 13 at its bottom. i
The vehicle is steered by turning the wheel, thus swinging the front axle 9. A

seat 14: is supported by the rear ends of the plates 1, and transversely thereof, and seated in the seat the occupant can propel the vehicle by mechanism to be described. This mechanism consists of a pair of substantially rectangular frames 15, which are hinged to a cross bar 16 at their upper ends as indicated at 17.
The frames are hin ed alon side each a:
other, and from the outer side of the lower end of the frame, a link 18 extends to a pivotal eccentric connection with the ad jacent wheel as indicated at 19. Each of these frames as shown in Fig. 3 consists of two side members, connected at their lower ends by a rod, and the link is pivoted on the rod, being arranged between one of the side members and a bushing 20 on the rod.
The improved toy is composed of wood, so far as concerns the body, wheels and bolster, and the rear axle may be of piping. It is especially suited for small children, since it is easy to operate, not easily overturned, and may be very cheaply constructed. In operating the swinging frames to propel the vehicle, the feet of the rider engage the bushing or arbors 20.
I claim A toy of the character specified comprising a body, a rear axle journaled transversely at the rear end of the body, wheels secured to the end of the axle, swinging frames hinged at one end to the body near the front thereof, said frames being at the outer sides of the body, and links connecting the other ends of the frames to the adjacent wheels,
said links being pivoted eccentrically to the wheels, a front axle at the front of the frame and mounted to swing with respect thereto, wheels at the ends of the axle, and means for swinging the axle.
