0. ARNOLD ILLUMINATED TOP Filed Jglly 21, 1926 Patented Nov. 27, 1928.
UNITED STATES CARL ARNOLD, OF NUREMBERG, GERMANY.
ILLUMINATED TOP.
Application filed July 21, 1926, Serial No. 124,057, and in Germany February 22, 1926.
Illuminated tops with stationary feet have become known in which coloured transparent disks are lighted from the inside by means of an accumulator located in the top whereby 6 upon the spinning of the top a circular light efiect is produced. Such tops are of very complicated construction and expensive and they cannot be handled by a child. It is difiicult even for grown up persons to remove the accumulator from the top and to re-insert the same and it is further diificult to obtain accumulators adapted for these tops.
These inconveniences are obviated according to the invention, the improved illuminated top being cheap to manufacture, of good effect and easy to handle. WVith this object in view the top is constructed so that the rotatable sleeve has different apertures closed by coltoured transparent ring segments, the light in 2 the top being produced by a spark producing device of known type.
An embodiment of the invention is shown, by way of example, in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 shows the improved top in longitudinal section.
Fig. 2 shows in the left half a plan view and in the right half a horizontal section of the top.
The top is composed of two superposed halves a and 6 connected the one with the other by flanges and bent edges. A winding up pin a is fixed in the body formed by the halves a and b. In the top plate of half 6 several apertures (Z are arranged which are closed by transparent ring segments f colcured in different colours. In the lower half a of the body a ring is arranged on which an emery band 9 is laced. On this emery band g slide blocksi o cerium iron fixed on arms 71.
The arms in are movably mounted on a plate 11; having bent up flaps and they have stops 2 at both outer sides in order to prevent the blocks 2' jumping up too high if the top is spinning. On the lower surface of plate 70 a sleeve m is fixed which has in its lower portion a stop a which limits the vibrating of the top. The hollow sleeve, the plate and the spark producing device do not rotate with the top and the sleeve serves to maintain the top in vertical position even if the rotation is slow, so that tumbling over of the top is prevented. By the sparking device strong sparks are produced which make the transparent disks light up in different colours. Owing to the stationary spark producing device the sparks produced appear behind the rotating transparent rin segments as Cornet-like phenomena.
I claim An illuminated top comprising in combination a body of the top, a top plate of the body,
apertures in said top plate, transparent ring segments in diiferent colours covering said apertures, a bottom-plate, avertical stationary sleeve in the bottom plate serving as support for said body, a horizontal plate fixed on the top of said vertical sleeve, a ring on the lower portion of said body, a band of emery on said ring, radial arms movably mounted at their outer ends on said horizontal plate, a block of cerium iron on the end of each arm and resting upon said emery band, and two stops integral with the arms, inwardly projecting from the arms, and engaging with the outer edge of the horizontal plate in such a manner as to necessarily limit the vibratory movements of said arms.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
' CARL ARNOLD.
