W. T. BARNEY ET AL TOY SAILBOAT Filed. NOV. 25, 1921 Patented Mar. 20, 1923.
UNiT STATES WALTER T. BARNEY AND OLAV HOVDEN, OF POINT LOE IA, CALIFORNIA.
TOY SAILBQAT.
Application filed November 23, 1921. Serial No. 517,203.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WALTER T. BARNEY and OLAV I'IOVDEN CltlZBIIS of the United States, residing at Point Lorna, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented a certain new and useful Toy Sailboat, of which the following is a speci fication.
Our invention relates to toy sail boats and more particularly; to provide a comparatively indestructible toy sail boat; and some of the objects of our invention are to provide an easily and quickly appliable mast which may be applied and secured to any boat enabling the young sailor to improvise a beautiful boat from a tin can. block of wood and the like; to provide such a sail boat in. which the mast is flexibly attached to the boat so that in case of a storm or other cataclysni when the timbers may be shivered or the mast swept from the deck the mast is not broken but may be easily and quickly stuck on the surface of the boat and the good ship is ready to sail again; simplicity of construction, low first cost, durability and to teach the child the principle of the vacuum cup and the force of atmospheric pressure.
With these and other objects in View as will appear hereinafter our invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter described in detail and particularly! set forth in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the char actors of reference thereon which form a pa rt of this application in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of our sail boat; Fig. 2 is an elevational View partly in section and fragmentarily; and
Fig. 3 is a detailed fragmentary side elevational view of the base of the mast.
Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts and portions throughout the several views of the drawings.
The principal parts of our structure are: a boat 1. and a mast 2. In the embodiment of our invention shown in the drawings. we have illustrated the boat 1 as formed of an ordinary oval-shaped sardine can, hermetically sealed so as to render the boat unsinkable. The boat may be formed also of an open can of similar kind with the mast attached on the inside of the bottom.
A painted wood block may also be used if it has a smooth surface impervious to air. Any object with such a surface may be used to form an improvised boat or a more elaborately formed or constructed toy boat may also be utilized. The mast may be a simple wood shaft 2. This is attached to the boat 1 by means of a vacuum cup 3 preferably formed of rubber. The vacuum cup member 3 consists of a tubular portion at the top to receive the lower end of the mast 2 and a cup-shaped bottom the edge of which extends out and is expanded so that when the'cup is pressed down against the smooth surface so that the air is expelled therefrom and released, the atmospheric air presses upon, the outer surface of the flange at t and holds the cup securely to the surface 5 of the boat 1.
Any suitable sail 6 preferably of water proof material may be used. The sail 6 is preferably mounted on yards 7 and 8 which are rigidly secured on the mast 2 to hold the sail in the position set. It is: obvious that in use any force that may cause a Wreck and sweep the sails from the boat 1 will merely break the seal of the vacuum cup 3 and release the mast from the boat without breaking it, so that the young sailor may easily stick the mast on again and the boat will be ready to proceed on its way.
Although we have shown and described a particular construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions we do not wish to be limited to this particular construction. combination and arrangement but desire to include in the scope of our invention the construction, combination and arrangement substantially. as set forth in the appended claims.
Having thus described our invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A toy sail boat, comprising a boat and a mast, said mast being mounted on said boat by a vacuum cup.
2. A toy sail boat. comprising a boat and a mast, said boat being formed with a.
smooth surface impervious to air, and said mast being provided with a vacuum cup at its base by means of which said mast is secured to said boat by atmospheric pressure.
3. A toy sail boat. comprising a boat and a mast therefor, said mast being mounted on said boatby a resilient adhesive connection.
5 mast is mounted on said boat.
4. In a toy sail boat, a mast, mounted thereon by a resilient adhesive connection. 5. A toy sail boat, including a. boat, a mast, and a vacuum cup, by which said 6. A toy sail boat, including a float member, a mast, a sail rigidly secured to said mast and a resilient flexible vacuum cup
