TOY BOAT .AND ITS MANUFACTURE Application filed Augukstill, 1926.A Serial No.- 128,588.
This invention relates particularly to the n'ianutacture ot small toy boats, the primary object being to enable such boats to be manu'- tactured more cheaply than possible by known methods. AIn accordance with the. present invention,
Va plurality ot' nested patterns are marked,
4 to effect the cutting of the outline ot the inv ner wall ot the hull. This procedure is 'followed in cutting the inner contour ot each hull, it being understood that a shell is cut .trom the strip each time the inner contour of a hull is formed.
Aing the outlines ot slots and curves provided in a suitable templet; Some of these curves y mark the inner contours of the boat-hulls,
and some of them mark the outer contours ot the boat-hulls.
he invention is illustrated in a preferred embodiment in the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. 1 is a plan view" ot a templet employed -for practicing the improved process, the templet heilig shown superposed upon a stock-strip (shown broken) Fig. 2, atransverse sectional view of the templet; Fig. 3, a. plan view of `a plurality of boats formed from a single stock-strip; and Fig. 4, a transverse verticalsection taken as indicated at line 4 of Fig. 3.
In the illustration given, A designates a stock-strip; B, a templet; and C, a plurality of nested boats Whose hulls (excepting the bottoms) are formed from a single stockstrip.
The stock-strip A may be of any desired thickness. Usually, a thickness of about two inches is preferred. The boats in the nest C are designated 1, 2,3 and 4.
The outer contour 1a ot the boat 1 corresponds with the outer contour 1a of the templet B, and the inner contour 1l of the boat 1 corresponds with the Curve 1b of the templet; the outer contour 2a of the next boat corresponds with the curve 2a of the templet, and the inner contour 2" of "this boat corresponds with the curve 2 ot the templet, the outer contour 3a of the next boat corresponds with-the curve 3a of the templet, and the inner contour 3b ot this boat corresponds. with the curve 3l? ot the templet; and the outer cont-our4 of the smallest boat corresponds with the curve 4n oi the templet and the inner contour 4b corresponds with the. curve 4" of the templet.
The slots which are out through the templet torm the curve-lines mentioned and are designated 5, G, 7 and 8, respectively. The walls of these slots outline respectively the inner and outer walls of the hulls. The stock of the templet is not cut away at the points 9, 10 and 11, but serves to unite the parts ot the templet at points corresponding with the prows of the boats. A transverse strip 12 is secured to the templet at about its middle portion; and a vlongitudinal strip 13 is sc- .l
cured to the templet at a. point corresponding with the sterns of the boats. Thus, the parts ot' the templet are properly secured together.
The templet is applied to the upper sur- `face of the stock-strip A, and a pencil is employed to mark upon the stock-strip the outlines formed by the curves of the templet which have been mentioned. At the points 9, 10, and 11, Yand at the points where the J strips 12 and 13 close the slots of the templet, the markings of the pencil are intel" rupted. This constitutes no objection, however, as it is easily possible to follow the out.- lines in effecting the sawing.
In the sawing operation, the outer surface of the outerboat 1 is irst sawed; the saw then cuts its way through the stern of the outer boat at the line 14 and then continues and cuts the inner outline of the outer hull at the contour 1d. In this manner, the shell of the outer boat is formed. The remaining block of wood is then sawed to form the outline 2a, that is, the outer wall of the next smaller boat. The operator then causes the band-saw to cut its way through the stern (ill of the boat 2 along the line 15, and the sawhulls along the lines 16 and 1f?, respectively.
Ordinarily, the stock-strip Will be mounted on a suitable to enable it to be tilted about its longitudinal axis and thus enable the band-saw to produce the flaring-walls of the boats.
After the shells of the several boats have been formed, the strips 111, 15a, etc. are secured to adjacent portions of the hulls by means of nails 18. The bottoms 1C, 2, 3 and 4 are then nailed tothe shells of the hulls and the boats are painted. This makes the boats Water-proof and practically covers the kerfs cut by the saw through the ends ot the hulls.
In the illustration given, the bfoats are shoivnprovided with eye-bolts 19 for re.
eeiving a cord, or chain.
By the improved method, 1t is possible to saw ironia strip of Wood a plurality of boats of;successivelyA reduced sizes, by means of a band-saw, the Work being very wquickly and economically performed. This enables boats to be produced from a strip of material in a very inexpensive manner. As indicated, after the boats have been painted, the joints practically disappear and the boats are water-tight.
The dotted lines 14h-17b shown in Fig. 1
:22. indicate the positions at which the kerfs Will he cut through the sterns ot the hulls as the hulls are being formed. 1t is to be understood, however, that it is not necessary to cut sl-ots through the templet at these points.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and nounnecessary limitations should he understood therefrom.
that l regard as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A method of forming toy boats which comprises: marking upon a stock-strip a plurality of boat-patterns of graduated sizes and arranged one Within another; and sawing the stock-strip in accordance with a pattern `to form the hulls of the several boats, the` saw entering each, hull lby cutting 1 i through anend thereof.
.contour oit said hull.
The method of toi-ming toy boats which comprises employing` a band-saw to cut from a stock-strip a plurality of successively reduced hulls, the band-saw being caused to cut its way through the end of each hull in enter-ino` to ei'ect the sawino' of the innercontour of said hull, the saw being then employed to cut the'outer contour of the next smaller hull.
4L. A boat-hull comprising prow, stern and side-Walls in integral formation, the stern having a slot cut therethrough Which `forms a continuation of the inner contour rline at one side of the hull.`
A boat-hull comprising prow, stern and side-walls in integral formation, the stern having a slot cut therethrough which forms a continuation of the inner contourl line at one side of the hull, and means securing the severed strip adjacent said slot to the main portion of the stern.
6. The method of forming a boat-hull from a stock-strip which comprises causing a band-saw to cuil its Way through an end of the hull and then continu-e the cut to form the inner contour of the hull.
7. The method of. forming a boat-hull from a stock-strip which comprises causing a band-saw to cut its Way through an end of the hull and then continue the cut to form the inner, contour of the hull; and securing the strip adjacent the slot to the adjacent portion of the hull.
8. A templet comprising a plate having an outer contour corresponding with the outer contour of the boat and having a series of nested slots, cach slot being bounded by contour lines corresponding with the inner contour of a boat of one size and with the outer contour of a boat of smaller size.
