AERIAL TOY Filed Oct. 26. 1922 Suva-N01 15 561. A Hw llirozumjl Patented May 6, 1924.
outrun STATES PATENT OFFICE.
AERIAL TOY.
Application filed October 26, 1922. Serial No. 597,061.,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLYDE A. HALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pottsville, in the county of Schuylkill and State of Pennsylvania,.have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Aerial Toys. of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to aerial toys and has as its primary object to provide a toy parachute and means whereby the same may be impelled a greater or less distance nto the air and then be permitted to descend in a manner simulating the descent of an actual parachute.
Another'object of the invention is to provide an aerial toy of the class referred to simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture and not liable to a disarrangement of its parts.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the toy embodying the invention;
Figure 2 is a. perspective view of the parachute in the condition it will assume in its descent.
The parachute embodying the invention comprises a collapsible air pocket indicated in general by the numeral 1 and which may be of cloth or any other material found suitable for the pur e and is of the usual umbrella sha e. sligiiension cords 2 are connected at t eir up er ends to the margin of the pocket 1 at suitably spaced" intervals and at their lower ends are tied as'at 3 or otherwise anchored to the periphery of an angular head 4 which is fixably supported at the upper end of a stem 5. The stem 5 may be of wire, wood, or any other material found suitable for the purpose and it may be of any desired length. At its lower end the stem 5 supports a flat disk-like head 6 which is to serve as a piston under conditlons to be presently explained.
It w1ll be understood at this point-that 1f the parachute is projected into the air it will open when it starts to descend, and will assume substantially the condition illus-' trated in Figure 2 of the drawings, the weight of the stem and the heads 4 and 6 associated therewith being sufiicient to maintain the air pocket in proper distended arrangement as shown. The pocket 1 is of material adapting it to be collapsed and when collapsed it will be draped over the head 4 at the upper end of the stem 5, hangmg about the upper portion of the stem and resting at its central portion upon the said head. The head 4 is of a diameter less than that of the head 6.
In connection with the parachute there is provided a blow tube which is indicated by the numeral 7 and which likewise may be of any material found suitable for the purpose. This tube is of uniform diameter throughout the length of its bore and the diameter of its bore is but slightly larger than that of the head 6 so that when the socket 1 of the parachuteli-as been draped over the upper end of'the stem 5, the collapsed structure may be inserted with the head 4 foremost into the tube 7 until the head or piston 6 is received within the said tube. With the parts thus arranged air may be blown into the tube byplaclng the tube to the mouth, and under these conditions the head 6 will act as a piston and the parachute will be forcibly ejected from the tube and impelled upwardly into the air. Substantially at the moment-when the parachute begins to fall, the air pocket will open and the descent of the parachute will be checked and rendered gradual .thereby simulating the descent of an actual parachute.
Having thus described theinvention what isclaimed as new is:
An aerial toy comprising a blow tube of uniform diameter open at both ends and having imperforate walls, a stem, an imperforate piston at one end of the stem adapted to fit slidably within the tube, a head at the opposite end of the stem of less diameter than said piston, a collapsible pocket, and spaced suspension cords between the margin of the pocket and the edge of the head, the pocket and said cords being adapted to be folded around said head and stem and entered from one end of the tube with said head foremost and to be expelled from the other end of the tube by air pressure applied against said piston at the entering end of the tube.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
. CLYDE A. [L. 9.]
