C. J; SLADEK FIGURE WHEELED TOY Filed Aug. 14, I922 Patented July 8, 1924.
FIGURE WHEELED rroY.
Application filed August 14, 1922. Serial No. 581,727.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES J. SLADEK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State/of 5 Illinois, have invented new and useful. Im-
provements in Figure Wheeled Toys, of which the following isa specification.
This invention relates to toys and more particularly to toys designed to simulate animale and the movements of the animal in walking.
An object of the invention is to provide a toy simulating a turtle in which the legs and tail are movable, and have suitable means associated therewith for causing movement of the legs and tail during travel of the toy over the floor, said legs and tail being designed to simulate the normal movement of a turtle.
Another object of this invention is to provide a toy as specified in which the majority of the parts may be made ina single stamping operation, permitting the provision of a toy which is simple in construction and may be manufactured at a relatively low cost.
Other objects of the invention will appear in the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is a top plan of the toy.
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan of the toy.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the improved I toy showing parts insection.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the improved toy comprises a body 1, which is made of a single stamping, of sheet metal, and shaped to simulate the back of a turtle. The bodyl has the head 2 formed integrally therewith, and the head is shaped, and preferably decorated to simulate a turtle head. A support 3 is suitably attached to the under surface of the body 1 and it has depending arms 4: formed thereon at its forward end which support a pin 5, a roller 6 is mounted upon. As clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the arms 4 are provided with instruck bosses 7 about the pin receiving openings, which bosses form abutments for preventing lateral movement of the roller 6. A pair of depending arms 8 are formed upon the rear end of the support 3 and they rotatably carry the relatively large and supporting driving roller 9. Bosses 10 are struck from the arms 8 about the supporting shaft 11 of the roller 9 and extend inwardly and engage the roller for movement thereof.
The supporting shaft 11 has a crank arm 12 formed on one end thereof through which a rod 13 is connected. The hook14: which is formed on the end of the rod remote from the crank 12 hooks through a depending ear 15 formed upon the leg and tail assembly 16. The leg and tail assembly 16 is stamped from sheet metal and with the four legs 17 and tail 18 formed thereon to simulate the respective legs and tail of a turtle. The leg assembly 16 is pivotally connected by means of a pivot pin or rivet 19 to the downstruck portion 20 of the support 3so that as the roller 9 rotates, during the drawing of the toy over the floor, the leg assembly will be oscillated upon its pivot 19 for moving the leg and tail to simulate the movement of these respective parts of a turtle. The body 1 may be cut away as shown at 22 to permit the oscillatory movement of the legs and tail. The leg assembly is also provided with a cut out portion 23 to permit unimpeded movement thereof by the engagement of the roller 9 or its supporting means.
A drawing string 24 is attached to the head 2, as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the permitting lateral drawings, to permit the drawing of the toy over the floor.
Fromthe foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings it will be apparent that the movement of the toy over the floor will cause rotationof the rollers 6 and 9 by frictional contact with the floor or surface over which the toy is being drawn and that rotation of the roller 9 will impart oscillatory movement to the leg assembly moving it upon its pivot to simulate the movement of the legs and tail of a turtle, and also that the tail will move transversely to the direction of travel of the toy while the legs will move substantially in the direction of travel of the toy. V
It is, of course, to be understood that the inventionmay be constructed in other man-- ners and the parts associated in different relations and, therefore, I do not desire to be limited in any manner except as set forth in the claims hereunto appended.
Having thus described my invention what I claim is:
1. A toy comprising a body shaped to simulate the body of an animal, a support at tached to the body, a leg assembly pivotally connected to said support, depending arms formed upon the support, shafts carried by said arms, rollers mounted on said shafts, a crank arm formed on one of said shafts, a rod connected to said crank arm and leg as sembly for oscillating the leg assembly upon rotation of the shaft, said depending arms having instruck bosses thereon about said shafts for preventing lateral movement of the rollers.
2. In a toy, a body formed of sheet metal pressed into shape to simulate the body of an animal,a support attached to the under surface of the body, a, leg assembly vstamped from a single piece of sheet metal and having legs and av tail formed thereon, said leg assembly being pivotally connected to said support, depending arms formed upon said support, shafts carried by said depending arms, rollers mounted upon said shafts, said depending arms having instruck bosses thereon about said, shafts for preventing lateral movement of the rollers, and means connected to one of said rollers and said leg as sembly for oscillating the leg assembly upon rotation of the roller.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
CHARLES JOHN SLADEK.
