Be it known that I, PETER S. H. NnwELL, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Leonia, in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented certainnew' and useful Improvements in Figure Toys, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to ligure toys designed more especially for the amusement of children; and the object of the invention is 'to provide a toy comprising a resiliently supported element or elements in simulation of a grotesque figure` or gures, and .means whereby various' amusing motions can be imparted lto suoli figure or figures. In the present form of embodiment of my invention, two elements, representing a boy attacked posteriorly by a goose, are employed, the operative connections being suoli that by their manipulation the elements can be so relatively moved that the boy isapparently making a desperate effort to escape while the goose holdshim. Of course, the resilientlysupported elements, and each of them, may represent other objects or subjects to which the appropriate motions are imparted.
The invention, generally stated, comprises various novel features of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings- Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of a toy embodying one form of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the structure.
Fig. 3 is a detail, enlarged, of a resilient neck connection between the two elements.
Referring to the drawings, 4; designates a suitable base, which, in the present instance, is rectangular in plan, and is hollowed out in its under side, as at 5, and provided with a bottom 5, to constitute a suitable casing. lVithin this casing adjacent one end thereof, is mounted an 'oscillatory member comprising preferably a disk or sheave 6 having a stud or pintle 7 which` projects upwardly through a perforation in thev top ofthe cas.
ing. Passed about the periphery of the sheave and secured thereto, as at 8', is a' looped cord 8, one end of which extends loosely through a perforation 9 in that end of the casing remote from the sheave, while the other extremity of the cord is attached by means of a spring connection l0 to a pin 11 secured within the ,casing adjacent the perforation 9. Hence by variably pulling out the free end ofthe ycord against the stress of the spring,`,`.and th'enpermitting the spr-ing toretract the cord, the sheave .canV be oscilla-ted on its axis to a greater or less eX- tent and with more-or less rapidityl asthe` user may desire. l
`Supported on the up-projecting portion of the stud or pintle 7 isa suitable element, 12, which, in the present instance, represents 'the grotesque figure cfa boy having an integral posterior extension 137m simula--` tion of the head of a goose holding the boy.
The body of the goose comprises an element 14 which isvsupported on the base by'jup-v standing resilient legs lconstituted by tightly coiled springs 15. Theneck of the goose is formed by a tightly coiled spring 16 having capacity for lateraldefiection and longi tudinal movement, which spring is rigidly secured' at its Yextremities to end l projections 17 on the `head 'and-body: portionsl respectively, vsaid spring 1'6 'having relatively great resistance and` being somewhat longer than the distance between the lhead andbody portions of the goose. 1 V
By the construction above described, it will be seein that when the sheave is oscil` lated byproper manipulation of the cord 8 as above mentioned, the element 12will be oscillated on a vertical axis, and the motiony will betransmitted therefrom tothe yieldinglysupported element 14: through. the neck connection 16; suchy connection, asthe asso-4 the elements 12 and 14 normallyfin the rela- 100 tive angular position shown by the full lines in Fig. 2, and that when the cord is pulled in opposition to the spring, said elements are swung to or towards the opposite posi-l tion indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 2. 105
It is to The understood that I do not limit my invention to the specific details of construction and arrangement nor t'o the par-V -ticular configuration orv configurations of the elements herein disclosed, as the struc- 110 9o ciated parts are actuated, being caused by its ture and design may be variously modiied within the principle of my invention and the scope oi the appended claims.
l claiml. A toy comprising a base, a ligure element, upstanding resilient means supporting said element above the base, and comprising tightly coiled springs wliicb, normally sustain said element in upright position and yet permit its universal movement, oscillatory actuating means supported by the base, and operative connection between the said actuating means and the ligure element.
2. A toy comprising a base, a ligure element, upstanding resilient means supporting said element a-bove the base, and comprising 'tightly coiled springs which normally sustain said element in upright position and yet permit its universal movement, oscillatory actuating means, including a rotary member and operating devices therefor carried by the base, and a connection, including a resilient member, between the rotary member and the ii `ure element.
3. r toy comprising a base, a movable body, resilient legs connecting said body with tlie base, an oscillatory member supported by the base, means for actuating said member, and a connection, including` a resilient member, between the said oscillatory member and the body, said resilient member having capacity for lateral deection and longitudinal movement.
1i. A toy comprising a base, two figure elements thereon, one mounted to oscillate on a vertical axis, and the other mounted for universal movement, a connection, including a laterally and longitudinally resilient member, between the bodies of the two elements, and means for actuating the oscillatory element.
5. A. toy comprising a base, a figure element, upstanding resilient means supporting` said element above the b'ase, a second iigure element, a connection, including a resilient member, between the two elements, an oscillatory actuating member supported by tbe base, and a. connection, including a resilient member, between said actuating member and one oit said ligure elements.
A toy comprising a base, two associated elements in grotesque simulation oi an individual attacked by a goose, the bead of the goose comprising an integral extension of the posterior of the individual, and the neck of the goose being constituted by a resilient connection, resilient legs connecting one element with tlievbase, a pivotal connection between the other element and the base, and means tor oscillating said pivotal connection.
7. A toy comprising a base, two associated elements in grotesque simulation of an individual attacked by a goose, the head of the goose comprising an integral extension of tlue posterior of tlie individual, and tlie neck of the goose being constituted by a resilient connection, resilient legs connecting one element with the base7 a pivotal connec-v tion between the other element and tlie base, means for oscillating said pivotal connection, said means including a rotary member, an operating string therefor, and a spring connection between one end of the string and the base.
8. ln a toy having a base, a movable element and a resilient connection between the said element and the base, means for imparting variable motion to said element comprising a rotary member carried by the base, operative yconnection between the said rotary member and tlie said element, an operating string flexed about the said rotary member and secured thereto, and a spring connection between one end of the string and tbe base.
