UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.
JESSE A. GRANDALL, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN HOBBY-HDRSES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 137,896,datc d April 15, 1873; application filed January 30, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JESSE A. GRANDALL, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improved Toy Horse-Cradle, of which the following is a specification:
Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of my improved toyhorse-cradle, and Fig. 2 a side view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The object of this invention is to produce a convenient toy for children, in which toy the form and movements of the horse are imitated in a very natural manner, and for giving a vibratory movement to a carriage body or seat for a child. The invention consists in hanging the said body or seat between two horse-shaped frames, andin swiveling the head and neck parts of these frames to the latter and connecting the same by pivoted rods with the body or support, and in similarly pivoting the tail portions of the horse-like frames to the 1atter,and also connecting them with the childs seat, so that when the occupant of the seat or body draws the swiveled head and neck parts back by means of reins or strings attached thereto the body will be vibrated backward and slightly elevated, so that its own weight and that of the childoccupying it will subsequently cause it to move forward and downward again, which motion can be repeated indefinitely, at will. During the motions of the carriage the horse-shaped frames will have their head and neck parts and their tails in constant motion, in imitation of the natural movements of the animal which they represent, and much to the delight of the children.
- In the accompanying drawing, the letters A A are two metallic or wooden frames made in imitation of horses and held at suitable distance apart by transverse connectin g-rods a a. B B are the head and neck portions of Their lower ends are formed on the larger part of acircle, and are swiveled or pivoted at b to the said frames in such man- ,ner that on such pivots the head and neck portions can vibrate. O G are the tail por tions of the frame; the same are at d pivoted to the back part of the frame-pieces A A, so
that they also can vibrate on their pivots. E is a wagon body or seat of suitable construction and shape, placed between the frames A A and supported on crank-rods e, which have their bearings in the frames A, as shown. By means of rods f the forward end of the seat E is connected with the vibrating head and neck portions B B, respectively, and by rods 9 the tail-pieces O O are further connected with the back crank shaft or rod 0. h is a rein or string attached to a front crossbar, i, which is secured between the vibrating head and neck pieces B B, or to said head and neck pieces direct.
When the occupant of the seat E pulls this string or rein the head and neck pieces will be elevated on their pivots, and will, by their connection with the seat, cause the same to swing back and to be slightly raised, and
thereupon the weight of the child on the seat and that of the latter also will cause the same to swing downward and forward again, and the heads also to be lowered, so that the two positions shown in Fig. 1 will be alternately produced. The tails (J G will also vibrate in conformity with these movements, and a lifelike motion of the horse-shaped frames. will be the result, while the child also will be con stantly moving.
Claims.
1. The frame A, when constructed with a circular socket, for the reception of the circular lower end of a vibrating neck-piece, B, substantially in the manner herein shown and described.
2. The combination of the vibrating tails O O with the movable seat E, crank-rods c, and vibrating head and neck pieces B B, all arranged to operate substantially as herein described.
