ATHERTON D. CONVERSE, OF XVINCHENDON, 'MASSACHUSETTS.
DANCING l DOLL.
Application filed February 25,1921. Serial No. 447,781.
T all whom it may concern:
Be it'known that I, A'rHnRroN D. CoN- vnnsn, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Vinchendon, Massachusetts, have invent-ed certain new and useful Improve. ments in Dancing Dolls, of which the foltached from the phonograph when a changev of record is desired.
These and other objects are accomplished by providing a figure havinga head, body and limbs independently movable, said body having both a rotative and an up and down movement. The motive power is convenient 1y shown as derived from the record turn table, and through the medium of an eccentrically mounted rod and an irregular cam actuates the head and body with its attached limbs respectively.
The invention also includes the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts more .fully hereinafter described and clearly de-fined in the claims In the drawings, which are illustrative of 35 a referred form of my device only,
*ig. 1 isa perspective of the complete device.
.Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section. Fig. 3 is a rear view.
Fig. 4. is' a sectional'plan view along the line 4-4 of Fig. 3. I g
Fig. 5. is a front view of the actuating mechanism with the base block removed.
Figs. 6 and '7 are detail views. 7
. Referringnow by reference characters to the drawing it will be seen that the device consists of a base block 1 adapted to be held above thephonograph mechanism housing by means of adjustable legs .2, pivoted o 50 base 1 at 2 Slots 2 are provided to receive the legs 2 when the device is folded for shipup and down movement.
ment.
.A positioning member 24; is attached to the rear of the base and is provided with a hole 25 adapted .to register with the center post 4- upon which the head 5-is loosely posiat 9 to a frame portion 10 rigidly mounted pin of the phonograph. Thiscarries no part i of the weight of the figure but merely 'prevents the device from rotating;
Socketed in base block 1 is aniupright tioned.
The body 6 is hollow and allows post 4 to pass through it. The body is suitably pinned as at 7 to a right angle lever 8 pivoted on base block 1. The member 8 is provided with an additional right angle portion 1.1
carrying between itself and the part 8 a roller 12 which engages a cam more fully hereinafter described. i The friction wheel'3is adapted to rotate about an axle pin 18 engaging the base block which also carries an irregular cam 15. The cam acting on the roller 12 and thence through member 8 gives the body of the 7 figure not only an up and down motion but also a partial rotation.
Eccentrically carried by the friction wheel is a rod 16, passing upwardly through ahole 17 in frame 10 and engaging the head, conveniently shown as by means of a screw eye. 18.
Suitably attached to rod 16 as at 19 is a thread 20 which passes through the head withinpassage '21, and is attached to a memher 22 uniting the arms 28 0f the figure. These arms are loosely attached to the body portion in any suitablemanner which will allow. a certain amount of play. A skirt or dress 26 may be placed upon 0 the figure just above pin 7 which will conceal'the mechanism and give a more realistic appearance to the doll.
The operation of the device is asjfollowsz The doll is positioned in proximity to the recordturn-table so that the legs 2 engage the mechanism housing, the hole 25, the
' turn-table center pin, and. the friction wheel surface through right angle lever 8.
