R. BANTLE TOY Filed Oct. 12, 1920 ZaZvZa Patented July 24, 1923.
UNITE SAT-ES TOY.
Application filed October 12, 1920. Serial No. 416,444.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RALPHAEL BANTLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys; and I' do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in toys, having more particular reference to a dancing toy embodying a plurality of movable figures mounted on a base.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a toy which is exceedingly simple in construction, veryeasy to operate by small children, very attractive in appearance, and
comparatively inexpensive to both the manufacturer and the user, I
Another object of the invention is to provide a toy of the above mentioned type wherein the operating means is concealed, this construction and arrangement permitting the peddler or salesman to demonstrate the toy to an advantage, due to the fact that it appears as if the figures are automatically operated.
A further object of the invention is to provide a toy of the above mentioned type which includes dancing or movable figures which are of such construction and mounted in such a way that they may move approximately through an entire revolution, thus permitting them to assume innumerable attractive and amusing positions with respect to each other. Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same:
Figure 1 'is a sectional View, partly in elevation, of a toy constructed in accordance with my invention. 7
Figures 2 and 3 are sections taken on the planes of the lines 22 and 33 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Briefly described, the toy comprises a hole low base having a finger inserting opening in its bottom, the dancing figures being positioned above this base and being supported and moved by a'suitable means, which means is in turn operated by a concealed member the bottom of the base.
Referring to the drawing wherein-the preferred embodiment of my invent-ionisclarly illustrated, it will beseen that the numeral 1 designates the hollow base which may be of any suitable construction and which is,- by preference, constructed of cardboard for thepurpose of reducing the cost of manufacture. This base, as above indicated, is provided in its bottom" with a finger inserting opening 2 and is further provided with one or more spaced partitions 3 which are equipped with horizontally aligned guide openings 4. Rising from the base and preferably disposed near one end of the latter is a hollow metal standard 5 provided at its upper end with oppositely disposed slots 6 in which one end of an operating arm 7 is disposed, it beingpivoted to the standard as indicated at 8 and normally extending laterally therefrom. Mounted on spaced: pivots 9 on the arm 7 is a pair of dancing or movable figures, indicated, as a whole, by-the numeral 10. These figures'may be constructed from any suitable material and the body portions are, by preference, made from spaced elements 11, each of whichis disposed on an opposite side of the arm 7 and carries a pivotally mounted. leg 12. With this construction, itwill be seen that the figures may swing on their pivots through approximately an entire revolution, thus permitting them to assume numerous positions with respect to each other, which,
which is accessible through theopenings in raw orr cs.
of course, makes the toy more novel and at tractive since the figures will occupy new positions each time the arm 7 is moved. The concealed means for imparting movement to arm '7 in its preferred form comprises a rod 13 which is slidably mountedin the guide opening 4 in' the partition 3 of said base, it being so mounted that one of its ends extends into and is accessible through I the finger inserting opening 2. Bysliding the rod 18 with the finger, it will be seen that movement will be imparted to the arm 7 through the medium of a flexible connection 14 between member 13 and this arm. This connection is by preference extended upwardly through the standard 5 so that it, like member 13, is concealed.
In use, the base is laced in the palm of the hand and the forefinger is extended into the opening 2 in the bottom thereof in the manner indicated, the remaining fingers gripping the opposite sides of the base. It
venient position for operating, I deem it advisable to make use of, a coiled; spring; 15 for accomplishing. this result, spring preferably surrounds the rod 13 between the partitions 3 and is secured at one end to this, rod.
AGZbI GZEUl consideration of the foregoing description taken connection with the ac ompanying. drawing will. enable person slrilled in the art to which this. invention relates to obtain a clear understanding of the same, therefore, a turther description isdeemed unnecessary. 1
Since 131 01311016 the best results are obtained with the construction and arrangement herein shown, this construction and arrangementv is. taken as the preferred embodimentofthe invention. However,I wish it; to. be understood that various minor changes in the shape, size and. arrangement of parts may be resorted to. as long as these changes do. not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subj oined claims. 7
I claim: V
1. In a toy, a hollow base having a finger inserting opening, in its bottom, a hollow standard rising from the base, an arm pivoted to the standard and extending laterally therefrom, a pivotally mounted dancing. fig,- ure carried by said arm, manually operable means for imparting movement. to the latter, the; same being concealed in the base and accessible through said finger inserting opening, and a connection between the arm and said means, extending through said standard. a
2. In a toy, a hollow base having its bot: tom side provided with a, finger inserting opening, a; dancing. figure positioned above the base, means. for supporting and moving I the. figure, and a concealed. manually operated slidable operating member entirely disposed in the'base and havingone of its" ends extending above said finger inserting opensupportin-g means, when moved by a finger extending through the opening. 3. In a toy, a base, a standard rising therefrom, a manually movable arm carried by the standard, and a plurality of figures mounted on closely spaced-pivots on said; arm, the body of each figure being made up of spaced parts which are disposed at opposite sides thereon to permit said figures to move approximately through an entire revo lution-to assume innumerable positions with respect to one another.
i. In a toy, a hollow bja-se provided with spaced partitions having aligned guideopen openings, an upright rising from the base, arm pivoted to the upright,a connection between the operatingrod and arm, and a. movable figure carried by the latter. 7 i
In a toy, a hollow base provided with a finger insertingopcn-ing and spaced partitions havingaligned guide openings, an
operating rod slidable through said openin-gs, a hollow standard rising from the; base and provided with aligned slots at its upper end, a laterally extending arm arranged in the slots andpivoted to the standard, a flexiing and serving to impart motion'to said ings, an operating rod slidable through said bl e connection between the inner end of i said arm and the aforesaid rod, anda movable figure pivotally mounted onthe arm.
6. In a toy, a hollow base provided with a finger spaced inserting opening, a hollow standard mounted on said base, an arm pivotally connected with said, standard, a figure movably connected with said arm and re.- ceiving. movement when the armis moved. a concealed operating member arranged in said base and being operated through said finger-inserting opening, and a connection between said arm operating member, being concealed in said standard and imparting movement to the arm when-the operating member is moved.
In testimony whereot I- have hereusn-to set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. H a 7 7.
