1,381,995, Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 17, 1919. Serial No. 283,119.
To all/whom z'tmay concem:
Be it known that I, RICHARD EDWARD HUMBERT,, a citizen of the United States, residin at Montclair, in the county of Essex and tate of New Jersey, and having a postoflice address at No. 26 St. Lukes Place, Montclair, N. J have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
My invention relates to toys, and the object is to provide a toy which shall be not only entertaining to children but also instructive. Furthermore, my improved toy is adapted to cultivate in the childs mind a love for flowers and a knowledge of their form, and also to develop a taste for the artistic. With my improved toy, the parts which comprise the flower are disassembled and constitutethe leaves, stem, petals, etc, variously colored and shaped, so that the child may construct the flowers in such form and coloration as may be desired, thus developing the inventive and creative functions.
In order that the invention may be better understood, attention is directed to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this sepecification, and in which Figure 1, a front view of a base, simulating a flower-box and showing two flowers, of the daisy type, such as may be constructed from my improved toy.
Fig. 2, a horizontal sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, the view being taken in the direction of the arrows.
Fig. 3, a vertical sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 1, the view'being taken in the direction of the arrows.
Fig. 4, a perspective view of an illustrative form of head constituting part of the toy and to which the stem and petals may be removably attached, and
Fig. 5, a perspective view of an illustrative form of petal.
In the above views, corresponding parts are represented by the same numerals.
My improved toy, generally speaking, comprises the representation of the separate constituent parts of any desired flower or type of flower or of several diflerent kinds I claim as new thereln and desire to secure of flowers, having some sort of support for the assembled parts representing either a flower-pot for a single flower or: a flowerbox for several flowers, the whole 'being contained in a suitable box or container and the parts being suitably colored-or tinted whereby the child may assemble such parts together as may be desired to constitute the des red result. Th parts may be made of wood, or cardboard or veneer or of any other suitable material, sufficiently strong and durable and capable of being properly tinted or colored.
In the case of flowers of the daisy type illustrated, I employ a head 1, generally spherlcal in shape and having a circumferential slot 2 therein, into which may be inserted petals 3 or bracts 4 to give the effect desired. Ordinarily the petals 3 are of various tlnts, while the bracts are generally tinted green, and may be serrated on their ends as shown. Also the petals may themselves be serrated as shown in Fig. 1 at the left.
Preferably the slot 2 is cut at an angle, so that when the petals or bracts are inserted therein the flower will partake of a cupped form (see Fig. 3) and thus present a more natural appearance. Of course, the slot may be truly diametrical instead of inclined.
The head 1 is also formed with a slot 5 extending partly around its circumference as shown and into which the stem 6 is inserted so as to. support the head 1. Obviously, by this construction the angle of the headmay be changed at will. The stem 6 may be supported in any suitable way. As an example, I show a flat board 7 representing a flowerbox and formed therein with a longitudinal slot 8 and thre cross slots 9 and I illustrate the two stems as being inserted at the juncture of two of the cross slots with the longitudinal slot. A number of leaves 10 may be inserted in the several slots to give a very attractive eifect. By the arrangement of the intersecting slots the leaves may be arranged so as to surround the stems, thus increasing the naturalness of the eflect. The application of the invention to other varieties of flowers will be, of course, understood, it being only necessary to make the individual flower-parts and arrange them to be assembled .together by slotted connections as shown.
Having now described my invention, what by Letters Patent, is
A'to comprising a slotted base, a stem remova ly carriedby the slotted base, a
