Description
S. THOMPSON Nov 4- 1924.
RETURN BALL Filed Jan. 9, 1922 Patented Nov. 4., 1924.
UNETED ST STOU'DEB THOMPSON, OF CLEVELAND HEIGH'Ifi, OHIO.
RETURN BALL.
Application filed January 9, 1922.
[ all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, STOUDER THOMPSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland Heights, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Return Balls, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in 0 containers for confections and the like.
The objects of this invention are to provide a hollow ball which is adapted to con tain candy or the like and which is provided with an elastic line attached at one end to the ball so as to adapt the hollow container for use as a tether ball; and to provide a frangible closure for the hollow container, the opening provided in the container permitting removal of the contents and facilitating attachment of the elastic.
Other objects of the invention will appear from the following description and claims when considered together with the drawings.
Fig. 1 shows my device in elevation; Fig.
2 shows the container alone in elevation at approxin'iately 90 to Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view; Figs. 4 and 5 show in detail the clip; and Fig. 6 shows a modilied form of container. :30 The hollow spherical container 1, which is made of light material such as papier-mach or the like, has a fixed contour or surface, so that it is non-compressible in the use for which intended. The paper disk 2 is pasted over the opening 3 in the container. The elastic line 5 extends through the opening (5 which is located substantially diametrically opposite the opening 3. The elastic has a clip or button 7 secured to the inner end thereof as a means of securing the same to the container. The ears 7 are clamped upon the line as a means of securing the clip thereto. The container itself is sufiiciently light for bouncing against a hard surface.
Serial No. 528,039.
Upon forming a loop 5 in the outer end of the elastic and slipping the same over the finger, the ball containing the candy, indicated at l, or the like can be thrown into the air, and amusement can be had by attempting to puncture the frangible paper closure by striking the same with the linger as the container returns towards the operator.
Upon breaking the disk closure in this or any other convenient manner, ready access may be had to the contents; and upon removal of the same, the empty container can still be used as a means of amusement by throwing the same under-handed and catching it with both hands, the looped end of the elastic being held by the operators finger.
The operator can also amuse himself by throwing the container and attempting to insert his finger in the opening after the closure has been removed. The card 8, through which the line 5 passes, bears instruct-ions as to how to use this device.
Thus I have provided an inexpensive container for confections and the like, especially attractive to children, and which can also be used as a means of amusement.
Obviously, the container may be made of device servin" as a shi nin and dis )ensin r e a.
container and still serving as a toy return ball after removal of its contents.
In testimony whereof I hereby affix my signature.
STOUDER THOh IPSON.
