DAVID 1). Moons, or EnrIELn; VIRGINIA.

To all whom it may concern v Be it known that I, DAVID D. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Enfield, in the county of King William and State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to toys and has for an object the provision of a toy of novel and attractive design, which may be op erated to simulate a man catching a fish.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a toy of simple construction and operation and which may be manufactured and sold at a low cost.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear as the following description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings,

Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the figure bent forward as in the act of angling for a fish. V

Fig. 2 is a similar view with the figure raised and showing by dotted lines the swinging movements of the figure.

Fig. 3 is a plan view with the figure in the position shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. l is a similar view with the figure in the position shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view.

Fig. 6 is a transverse section.

Fig. 7 is an enlarged view showing the connection between the figure and the plunger.

as a stop tolimit the inward movement of the plunger. The groove 12 is covered for a portion of its length by a platform 15, the latter extending laterally upon each slde so as to cover the wide portion 11 of the base.

Pivotally secured at one end of the base is a figure 16, which is shown to represent a man. This connection is effected through the medium of a link 17, having one end pivoted to the base and the opposite end rigidly Referring to the drawings in detail,-

secured to the figure 16. Included in this link is a coil spring 18, which permits of a rela tive pivotal movement between the opposite ends of the link. Connected .to the link 17 at one side of the spring 18 is one end of a link 19, the opposite end of this link being pivotally connected to" the adjacent end of the plunger '13. By this means when the plunger is drawn outward the figure will bend in a direction toward the outerendof the plunger and when the plunger is forced inward by a more or less rendered movement the figure will be raised and at the end of this movement will be given a further rearward pivotal movement with the spring 18 as a pivot, imparting a ,suddenbackward jerk to the figure. The arms of the figure have secured thereto one end of a rod 20, which represents a fishing rod, while pivotally connected to the opposite end of the rod is a fish or other object 21. In the'sudden backward jerking movement of the figure, the fish, which rests upon the platform whenthe figure assumes a forwardly bending position, will be suddenly jerked from the platform and a pivotal .movement imparted thereto, to simulate the jumping and contortion of a fish as it is jerked from the water.

To further add to the novelty of the device, the wide portion 11 is transversely grooved and secured within the groove upon each side of the plunger 13 is an arm 22. This arm is pivotally mounted as indicated at 23 and has one end secured tothe plunger 13. The arms are outwardly bowed or curved and have secured totheir extremities inwardly extending hands 2%. Thus, when the plunger is pulled outward and the figure bends forward, the hands 24 will come together at the rear of the figure and in the forward movement of the plunger the hands.

longitudinally of the base and connected to the figure, whereby the latter maybe moved upon its pivot, a rod carried by the figure and a fish pivotally connected to one end ofthe rod, whereby when the plunger is operated the figure will be moved rearward and the fish rotated to simulate the act of fishing. r

3. A toy embodying a base, a figure pivotally connected thereto, a plunger movable longitudinally of the base and connected to the figure, whereby the latter may be moved upon its pivot, a flexible connection included longitudinally of the base and connected to the figure, whereby the latter may be moved upon its pivot, an independent pivotal T ried by the figure and a fish secured to one end of the rod, whereby when the plunger is operated the figure will be moved to simulate the act of fishing.

5. A toy embodyingabase, a figure pivotally connected thereto, a plunger movable longitudinally of the base and connected to the figure, whereby the latter may be moved upon its pivot, a rod carried by the figure, a fish secured to one end of the rod, whereby when the plunger is operated the figure will be movedto simulate the act of fishing and a pair of spring arms pivotally secured to the base and connected to the slide and actuated simultaneously with the operation of the figure. g

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
