Application iiiearanuary 2s, 1924. serial No. 688,752.

To all 107mm it, may concern:

Be it known that I, PERY IIAMMnn, a citi-D zen of the United States, and resident of New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented-certain new and usefuh Improvements in a Mechanical Toy, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a mechanical t0 Its object is to attract the attention of Vand to interest and amuse babies, as well as to benefit them.

In construction and mode of operation, my new toy in its preferred form, comprises one or more ornate, contrasted color disks movable in a closed casing containing loose rattlers and having a teething ring which serves as a handle. Any suitable material may be used for making embodiments of the invention, but it is preferred to make most of the structural elementsout of Celluloid or the like.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof and illustrating the invention in two different forms,

Fig. l is a face elevation and Fig. 2 a vertical, sectional view at line 2 2 of Fig. 1 of one form of a toy containing invention.

Fig. 3 shows a modification of what is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

In Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, a round box casing a straight, tubular handle 2 which extends diametrically through the annular side wall of the casing, projecting slightly atthe top of the side wall and projecting from the bottom of the side wall for a distance suitable to form a handle for the casing. The tubular handle passes through the annular side wall of the casing about midway between the opposite edges of the side wall. To the top end of the tubular handle the upper end of an elastic cord 3 is anchored at- 4. The cord extends downwardly within the tube and is therein mounted in a slightly stretched condition. Wit-hin the casing of the chamber, the tubular handle, at the mid-length of that part thereof which is within the chamber of the casing, yis formed with diametrically opposed holes in which a transverse shaft-forming pin 5 is revolubly mounted, the ends of the shaft 5 projecting outwardly of the tube on both its sides and the shaft being held in place by collars lopposed to the diskless end of the has its annular wall 1 fixed to" 6, one fixed on each projecting endv 7.' l One collar bears on each side of the tube; vThe shaft is parallelto `the opposed round, flat sides of the boxcasing; and preferablyeach shaft end has' fixed toV it outwardly of a collar, a stiff disk 8 the-'outer side`9 of which is ornamented. The outward side of the ornate disk is lshown parti-colored and providedl with adjacent, curved white stripes 10, blue stripes 11 and red stripes 12, effect ing a variety of so-called pin wheels. The visible ornamentation of the outer 'sides of the disks by which they are vmade ornate may be varied. If each endfof the shaft is provided with an observable, ornate disk, then both sides 13 'of the box casing will be made of transparent material. oneornate disk is desired, then the box side shaft is desirably made of'non-transparent material. The box sides 13 areround and as shown, each is provided withan annular flange 14 which fits tightly on a margin of the .box caslilng side whereby lthe box casing is `made tig t. v

Said shaft 5 extends transversely through the tube and the stretched elastic cord 3 is given a turn around the shaft within the tube 2. The under end of the stretched elastic cord is fixed at 15 tothe upper end ofthe endwise, slidable 4shank 16 of the handle-forming teething ring which is accessible at the lower end ofy thetubular handle. Said shank, round in cross-section, in the under portion of the tubular handle, is operated telescopicallyin relation to the handle to pull the stretched cord and twirl the pin shaft and the thereto attached disk or disks, for rocking the disks severally in one direction or the other at each up and down movement of the slide. Shank 16 is held in place, against displacement, by the tension of the stretched elastic cord. The stretched cord, however, is not stretched to its full limit, but is stretched so as to be taut between its upper anchored end and its attachment to the upper end of the shank within the tube. Consequently, when the shank is pulled downwardly within but not out of the tubularhandle, a revoluble effect is given to the disk-carrying-shaft which is reversely rotated by the take up of the stretched cord on the up stroke of the teething ring carrying shank. Within the casing, shot or other rattlers 17 are placed and the If only toy is' a" rattle box.
