Definitions

  • My invention relates to mechanical toys and particularly to that type of toy wherein a toy vehicle is connected to a toy figure representing an animal or a person, and wherein the animal or person imitates the walking action and produces certain other movements that makes the toy interesting.
  • the invention consists of the novel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter described and defined in the claim.
  • Figure 1 is a View chiefly in side elevation, some parts in vertical section showing one form of the toy;
  • Fig. 2 is a View in side elevation illustrata modified form of the toy
  • *ig. 3 is a side elevation illustrating another modification of the toy.
  • Fig. 4c is a view partly in front elevation and partly in vertical section taken approximately on the line 4- 1 of Fig. 3.
  • the numeral 5 indicates the wheels and the numeral 6 the body of a toy cart and the numeral 7 indicates a toy figure representing a man seated in the cart.
  • the cart body 6 is preferably of pressed sheet metal and, at its front end, is provided with coupling ears 8, through which a small nutequipped bolt 9 is passed, for a purpose which will presently appear.
  • the numeral 10 indicates the body, preferably a pressed sheet metal body, which is made to represent the body of an ox, the same being open at its lower edge.
  • the legs of this toyanimal are afforded by front and rear leg wheels or structures 11, the same being wheel-like structures 9* having a plurality of radially projecting legs.
  • leg structures 11 work uaward within the body 10 and are journals thereto by small nut-equipped bolts 12.
  • the projection of the legs below the body is such that two thereof can always be seen and so that on the forward movement there is a good imitation of the walking action.
  • a lever 13 To the rear of the toy body 10, is intermediately pivoted a lever 13, the projecting portion of which is made to represent the tail of the OK.
  • the lower portion of said tail lever 13 works within the hollow body 10 and is pivotally connected to the upper end of a link 1-1:, which, at its lower end, terminates in an eccentric strap 15.
  • This eccentric strap 15 surrounds the intermediate portion of the rear journal bolt 12 and the said rear leg structure is provided with an eccentrically located crank pin 16, which, under rotation of the rear leg structure, operates on the eccentric strap 15 to produce a vertical movement of the link 14, and hence a vibratory movement of the lever 13.
  • a drawbar 17 For coupling the toy or to the toy cart, I provide a drawbar 17, the rear end of which is attached to the coupling lugs 8 of the cart body 6 by the bolt 9.
  • This drawbar is bifurcated so that it will embrace the sides of the 0X body and its front end is pivoted thereto by a bolt or screw 18.
  • This toy, illustrated in Fig. 1, so far as my invention is concerned, may be drawn by a string attached thereto or the cart 6 may be a spring motor propelled cart.
  • the numeral 19 indicates a cart which, so far as this invention is concerned, may be of any design, but is, at its front end, provided wih coupling lugs 8 which correspond to the coupling lugs 8 of the cart 6.
  • the numeral 20 indicates a hollow pressed metal, or otherwise constructed body representing a woman.
  • This body 20 is provided with a leg structure 1.1 made like the leg structures 11 and arranged to work in the lower portion of the hollow body 20 and journaled thereto by a bolt or screw 21.
  • the wheel structure 11 will operate to vibrate a pivoted arm 22 on the body 20.
  • This arm 22, as shown, carries a toy umbrella 28.
  • One side of the body 20 has an offset loop 24, through which a drawbar 25 is slidably passed under link-like plate 32.
  • This drawbar is detachably connected to the coupling-lugs 8 by a nut-equipped bolt 26.
  • the numeral 27 indicates a hollow body, preferably of pressed metal
  • the leg structure here shown is the same as that illustrated in Fig. 2 and is indicated by the character 11". It is pivoted to the body 27 by a bolt 30 and carries a crank pin 31 that operates 011 an eccentric strap 15 at the lower end of a At its upper end, the plate 32 is provided with an offset ear 33 that works in a slot 34 in one side ofthe body .27 and upon which the pivoted arm 28 loosely rests.
  • the leg structure will rotate and the crank 7 pin 31, operating on the eccentric strap 15 7 will reciprocate the link plate 32 with the result that the pivoted arm 28 and'cane 29 will be vibrated.
  • the same construction will cause the pivoted arm 22 and coupling 23 of the toy shown in Fig. 2 to vibrate vertically, when the toy moves forward.
  • any of the drawbars shown can be coupled to the lugs on the cart by the small nut-equipped bolt.
  • the body representing the animal or the man or the woman, has .moving parts which are vibrated or reciprocated when the toy is drawnor moved fore-*ard and this will add to childrens interest in the toy.
  • the hole in the eccentric strap 15 does not fit the crank pin 16 but is large enough to embrace said crank pin and the pivot bolt or pin 12 in all positions of the crank pin. Under rotation of the large elements 11, therefore, a heavy crank motion is not produced but there will be a wabbling, jerking movement of the tail lever 13 which willmore closely approximate the natural movements of. an oxs tail.
