:PLAY RING- Application led July 10, 1925. Serial N'o. 42,843.
This invention relates to a toy which may be termeda play ring, and one object of the invention is to provide a ring which may be used by people in bathing and thrown through the air from one person to another, kit being desirable to have the ring so constructed that it will not sink if missed by the person to whom it is thrown and it also being desirable to have the ring so constructed that there will be no danger of injury if the ring should strike the person to whom it is thrown.
Another object of the invention is to so construct the ring that it will be flexible, this making it easy to hold the ring and throw it through the air with a spinning motion.
Another object of the invention is to produce a ring which will be lilled with finely ground rubber, thereby producing a new use for worn out tires and inner tubes.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein- Figure l is a view showing the play ring in elevation, and n Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. l.
The play ring consists of an annular body which is indicated in gene-ral by the numeral l and includes a tubular receptacle 2 in which a filler 3 is placed. The tube 2 is preferably formed of fabric which if so desired may be treated so that it will shed water, but it will be understood that the tube or receptacle may be formed of soft leather or any other suitable material. The strip of material from which the tube is formed has its edge portions sewed together to provide a seam i extending about the inner periphery of the ring when the ends yof the tube are sewed together, as shown at 5. The filler 3 will, of course, be placed in the tubular receptacle 2 before the ends of the tube are sewed together. The filler 3 is formed of material which will lteep the .45 tube extended but permit the tube to remain flexible so that, when held by one hand, it will sag instead of remaining in a perfect circular formation. l/Vhen, however, the ring is thrown with a spinning motion, the 50 centrifugal force exerted restores the ring to its circular shape so that the ring is caused to move through the air in the exact direction desired, The material which is preferably used to fill the tube is soft rub- 55 ber which is preferably obtained from old automobile tires and Very finely groundso that when placed in the tube it forms a soft and compact mass. Since the tube is filled with a mass of powdered rubber havingeo many small air spaces in the mass, it will be evident that should the ring fall into the water when thrown it will iioat and will not become lost. Other materials which will float upon water may be used to fill the tube, 1:5 but as previously explained rubber is the preferred material as it forms a soft and compact filler and further can be cheaply obtained. Another advantage in using ground rubber is that the rubber is heavy 7o and, therefore, the ring will have sufficient weight to permit of it being readily thrown through the air with a spinning movement.
Having thus described the invention, I claim:
l. An aquatic toy comprising a flexible body enclosing an open space and including a tubular receptacle formed of fabric, and a filler for said receptacle consisting of finely ground rubber.
2. An aquatic toy comprising a flexible body enclosing an open space and including a tubular receptacle formed of pliable material, and a filler for said receptacle consisting of pulverized rubber.
In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.
