J'INGLING BALL.
. Application filed June 1,
The present invention relates to toys, and more particularly to that class of toys commonly known to the art as sounding toys.
The primary object of the invention is to 6 provide a novel type of sounding toy in the form of a hollow ball having a sound producing member disposed therein so that when-thelball is placed in motion, an intermittent sound' will beproduced and emitted from the ball.
A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a. hollow ball having means disposed therein so that when the ball is rolled overthe floor or 'othenrsurfgce, a
lo jingling sound will be emitted from the ball for the particular amusing and exciting curiosity of small children.
A further object of the invention is to provide an economical toy of this character 2 which may be used as an ordinary ball, and et at the same time carries therein a small ll of approved construction which maybe tumbled and rolled about within the ball to sound t-he bell no matter in which direction the ball is traveling, and particularly when A still further object of the invention is to provide a construction wherein the forma- 8 tion of the bell is utilized to project the bell intermittently from the inner surface of the ball as the latter rolls or is being moved, so that the sounding of the bell will not be deadened incident to contact of the resonant portions of the bell with the wall of the ball. A still further object of the invention is 'to provide a construction wherein the bell is of such formation as to cause the ball to rock back and forth in coming to rest; and so constructing the hollow ball as to readily 7 allow for the jingling sound produced by the bell tob'e readily emitted from the ball.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which drawing: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a toy constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 .is a sectional view through the ball and the bell disposed therein.
Figure 3 is a sectional view substantially similar to Figure 2 but showing a slightly modified construction for the bell.

at diametrically opposite sidesof"'tl1e-ball.-
Whilebut twoof the a rtures have been shown, it will of course apparent that if so desired more of these apertures may be provide-d.
Referrin now to the bell B, and which is disposed within the ball A, the same is prefera ly of spherical formation and comprises a cap section 6 and a base section 7, the sections being ri idly secured together at their edge portions y the outturned and overlapping flanges 8 and 9 respectively, forming an annular-1y extending bead 10. The cap sec- ,tion 6 of the bell is provided with a slot 11 whichprovides resonant portions at opposite sides of the cap'seotion .folj producing a jingling sound of the bell incident-to the striking of a freely movable striker 12 which is enclosed within the bell structure. This striker 12 is of irre ular shape,'and is adapted to roll and tum le within the bell struc ture for producing the necessary sharp contacts required to sound the bell when the latter is either rolled or tumbled bodil about within the ball A. Projecting from the crown portion of the base section 7, and preferably formed integral therewith, is an elongated cylindrical projection 13. This cylindrical projection 13, as will readily be apparent will cause the bell to be tumbled about in the ball-for sounding of the bell, and not allow the bell to merely roll upon the inner surface of the hollow ball.
Referring to Figure 3, it will be observed the base section 7 is not provided with a projection 13, but is provided with a relatively flat base portion 15. This base portion 15 in the present toy, at times comes to rest in a lowermost position as illustrated in Figure 3 on the lower wall of the ball A. and which flat portion more quickly brings the ball to a state of rest after the ball has beenrolled over the floor since the fiat base portion will cause the bell to slide and not revolve within the ball A.
In both of the constructions for the hell, it will be seen that an irregular peripheral surface is formed about the bell and which irregular peripheral surface will cause the bell to be tumbled about within the ball when the ball is placed in motion, and particularly when the ball is being rolled.
When the ball is rolled, the bell is tumbled about Within the ball and naturally tends to move to the lowermost portion of the ball with the result that at times the annular lrearhith ain'd projection lgiareibrought into contact with the wall of the ball, and it the ball is rolling fast, the bell will be projected out of contact with the ball thus causing the main body portion bell to sound freely as the striker 12 is jostled against the sides of the/bell structure. In the form of the bell as illustrated in Figure 3, the bead 10 and flat base portion 15 will cause the bell to be pro surface of the ball while the ball is minetion.
By so constructing the ball of rubber, and providing sound emitting apertures in the ball, it will be apparent that the ball will have a certain amount of resiliency when bounced, and by providing the openings or apertures,'will permit of the sharp jingling sound from the bell to be readily emitted from the ball and not form a deadened sound as would be the case were the ball formed of rubber and not provided with the sound emitting openings.
As will be observed, the diameter of the of the bell B is greater than the diameter of the apertures 5, thus preventing the bell from escaping from the ball when the latter is being used.
ected from the inner The bell B may either be positioned within the ball A during certain stages of the manufacture of which the ball is made is of a suitably yieldable nature, the bell may be inserted through one of the apertures 5 after completion of the ball.
A toy thus composed of a hollow spherical ball, and a bell of such construction so com bined and placed within the ball as to produce the novel result of jingling the bell upon rolling of the ball, will afford great amusement and curiosity on the part of small children when playing with the ball.
Changes in detail may be made to the specific form of the invention herein shown described, without departing from. the spirit of the invention or the scope of the following claims.
I claim:
1. A toy comprising a hollow rubber ball provided with sound emitting openings, and
a substantially spherical jingle bell of greater diameter than the diameter of said openings, loosely disposed within the ball for sounding upon movement of the ball, said bell provided with a radially extending external projection smaller than the openings in the ball.r V
' 2. A toy comprising a holldwrubber ball provided with sound emitting openings, and a spherical shaped jingle bell disposed within the ball for free movement therein, said bell having an annular surface projection and an elongated solid cylindrical projection for contacting with the inner wall of the ball when the latter is moved to effect an irregular movement of the ball and the sounding of the bell.
