UNITE STTES CLARENCE A. WETZELL, 0F STERLING, ILLINOIS.
TOY ANIMAL AND RIDER.
AppIication filed October 3, 1924. Serial No. 741,321. I
This invention relates to toys of the kind in which means are provided to represent the figure of a person or animal or other creature, and in which portions thereof are automatically operated in imitation of the natural motions of the figures or creatures rep resented, when the toy is propelled along the floor.
Generally stated, the object of the invention is to provide a novel construction and arrangement whereby the toy presents the appearance of a horse or pony or other crea ture, with a rider thereon, and whereby the head of the animal is actuated in a forward and back manner, thereby to automatically move the figure of the rider back and forth, so that the general appearance will be that of a person riding an animal.
It is also an object to provide certain details and features of construction tending to increase the attractiveness and desirability of a toy of this particular character.
To the foregoing and other useful ends, the invention consists in matters hereinafter set forth and claimed, and shown in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a toy embodying the principles of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of said toy.
Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of said toy.
As thus illustrated, the invention comprises a flat body 1 of wood or other suitable material, having metal front and rear legs 2 and 3 secured thereto in any suitable manner, and provided at their lower ends with front and rear wheels 4 and of any suitable character. The toy is, as illustrated, supposed to represent a little horse or pony with a rider thereon, and hence the body 1 is provided with a head 6 which is pivoted at 7 to swing forward and back in a natural or characteristic manner. The rear axle 8 'for the rear wheels is connected by a link 9 withthe pivot 10 on the lower edge of the head, whereby the head is actuated by the axle or crank shaft 8 at the rear of the toy. The body of the toy is preferably slotted at 11, at the under side thereof, so that the bent link 9 will be concealed more or less, in the manner shown.
The toy figure forming the rider comprises a body forming a torso 12, and legs 13 fixed to the sides of the body 1, the torso being pivoted at 14 upon the upper end portions of said legs, The rider is provided with a head 15, and has arms 16 which are pivoted on the torso at 17, and which are pivoted on the head 6 at 18, whereby the figure of the rider is actuated by motion of the head 6, when the toy is pulled along the floor.
For the purpose of propelling the toy, a pull string 19 is connected to the Wire yoke 20 which is hinged on the front end of the body 1 in any suitable manner.
Thus, when the toy is pulled along the floor, the head 6 of the little horse or pony will bob up and down, or move forward and back, and the figure of the rider will. have the same motion, so that the toy as a whole pre sents the appearance of a little horse or pony with a rider thereon, having the natural or characteristic motion or movements of a horse and rider.
What I claim as my invention is 1. A toy creature comprising a body having four stiif legs provided with wheels, pro vided with a movable head, wheel operated means for causing motion of said head, and a riding figure on the back of said creature, operated by said head, said wheels and legs supporting said toy for traveling motion on a floor, but preventing any up and down motion of the body, said figure having legs rigidly secured to said body, a torso member pivoted on said legs, a head on said member, and arms pivoted on said member and on the head of said creature, the front wheels being unconnected to the rear wheels except through the body of said creature.
2. A toy creature comprising a body having four stilt legs provided with wheels, pro vided with a movable head, wheel operated means for causing motion of said head, and a riding figure on the back of said creature, operated by said head, said wheels and legs supporting said toy for traveling motion on a floor, but preventing any up and down motion of the body, said body being a block with flat sides, with a slot in the front end portion thereof for said head, said figure having legs secured to said fiat sides, extending a distance above the top of said body, and having a torso pivoted on the upper end of said legs in rear of said slot, with forwardly converging arms pivotally connecting said torso to the neck of said head.
