TOY VINDMILL.
Application filed June 15, 1925.
lily invention relates to wind toys and comprises particularly such a toy wherein a wind wheel operates a rocking member and wherein the latter functions to keep the wind wheel in operative position.
This object is attained by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a side view of a wind mill; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a wind mill; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a wind mill.
Similar characters refer to similar parts in the several figures.
A represent-s a base. This base mounted to rotate in a horizontal plane. To this end there is employed a pivot rod B received in a suitably located socket in the base. It is intended that the base be pivotally mounted upon a garage roof a fence post or elsewhere so that the wind wheel may be rotated by the wind. Upon the base is a wind mill comprising a tower C carrying a shaft 1) horizontally mounted and journalled for rotation near the top of the tower. The shaft extends fore and aft and at its front end in front of the tower carries lined thereto, a wind wheel E. To the rear of the tower the shaft provided with an offset crank F. A toy sail boat G is mounted on the base to the rear oi the mill by a pivot H extending transversely of the base to thereby permit therocking of the boat in a vertical plane. This vertical rocking is effected by means of a pitman I connected to the boat at its bow and the aforesaid crank. It will be seen. that when the wind wheel swings into the wind it will rotate the shaft and by means of the crank and pit-man the sail boat is made to rock on its pivot.

toy having parts described above comwind wheel and miniature sail-boat carrymg a. relatlvely large sail. The rotation of the wind-wheel rocks the sail-boat through the agency of the mechanical connections,
the rocking motion simulating motion of the boat on waves of the sea. The spars carryi i the sail diverge in a. vertical plane from the m ast ot the boat 1n much the same way as are lines ot a weather-vane dlverge in a verplane. This divergence gives the greatvertical extent in that part of the sail most remote from the mast and renders the sail an efficient means to swing the combined toy about its vertical pivot and thereby hold the wind-wheel into the wind.
very
will thus be seen that the toy-boat serves nicely the purpose of a tall or a vane to hold into the wind. the wind-wheel, the rotation of which g ves the boat its rocking moti W A on. hat I claim 1s:
