FIGURE WHEELED- TOY Application filed August a, 1920. Serial mfmzusf vision of atoy of this class in which various parts are movable upon a drawing of the toy over a supporting surface.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a toy of this class in which various parts are movable upon a drawing of the toy over a supporting surface.
Another object of the invention is the pro vision of a toy of this class having various parts movable at predetermined times.
Other objects will appear hereinafter. The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by a which form a part of this specification and in which,
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a rear elevational view of the invention.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on substantially line 33 of Fig. 2.
In the drawings I have illustrated the invention as comprising a platform 7 projecting downwardl from which are bolsters 8 through which 18 projected the shaft 9, upon which is fixedly mounted wheels 10. Formed on the shaft 9 between the bolsters 8 is a crank 11.
the dog comprises a pair of boards 12 and 13 which are secured to and project upwardly from the platform 7, these boards being in spaced relation, a spacing element 14 being secured between "them, this spacing element terminating above the lower edge of the members 12 and 13 so as to permit the rearward projection of the tail 15, -which is pivotally mounted between the members 13 and 12.
Projecting upwardly from the platform 7 is a support 16 which also serves to space the body forming members 12 and 13 at their forward sides, This support 16 extends between a pair of spaced head forming members 17 and 18 which are formed substantially circular as shown in Fig. 3, and pivotally mounted on the supporting member 16 by means of the pin 19. Secured between the head forming members 17 and 18, at one side thereof, is an arcuate filling block 20 so that the head when viewed from the front side does not disclose any space between the members 17 and 18. A bulge 21 is formed on the members 17 and 18 and the filling block 20 to pro-J vide a nose. The members 17 and 18 are cut away to provide a mouth opening for the head as at 22, the filler block 20 termmatingat the notch 22.
Pivotally mounted on the members 17 and 18 is a lower jaw forming member comprising a strip 23 which is/pivotally mounted on the head forming member 18 and a strip 24 which is ivotally mounted on the head forming mem er 17, these strips being connected at their outer ends with a block 25.
Formed in the platform 7 is a slot 26, through which is projected a rod 27 having one end connected to the crank 11 by means of the eyelet 28 and. the other end connected by means of the eyelet 29 to a pin 30 which extends between the head forming members 17 and 18. The head forming members 17 and 18 are mounted at their center so that they may be rotated on the supporting member 16.
It will be noted that the eyelet 29 is of considerable greater inside diameter than is the outside diameter of the pin 30, so that considerable play is permitted between the pin 30 and the eyelet 29.
Formed in the rod 27 adjacent its lower end is an eyelet 30' connected by a link 31 to an eyelet 32 carried by the tail 15. Pivotally mounted to the undersurface of the platform 7 at its forward end is a bolster 33 carrying the pivotally mounted 'wheel 34.
The construction is such that upon a drawing of the device over a supporting surface, such as a floor or the like, the wheels 10 are rotated to effect a longitudinal movement of the rod 27. This will cause the head forming members 18 and 17 to oscillate on the pin 19 as a pivot. It will also cause the tail to rock on its pivot and on account of the play between the pin 30 and the eyelet 29 the tail is rocked prior, to an oscillating of the head forming members 17 and 18, the appearance 'of the toy being that the tail is waggedupwardly slightly before the head is raised to elevated position. As the head forming members 17 and 18 rotate on their pivots the lower jaw forming members move by gravity on their pivots to expose the notch 22 giving the impression of the animal opening its mouth. Projecting outwardly from each of the head forming members 17 and 18 are abutment pins 35 and 35, which serve to engage the members 23 and 24 to limit the degree of movement of the lower jaw forming member. As the rotation of the wheels 10 continues the tail is rocked to the position shown in Fig. 1, and the head forming members 17 and 18 move so that the block 25 en-.
gages the supporting member 16 and the boards 13 and 12 to give the appearance of the animal having its mouth closed, the notch being in this position unexposed to view.
Ear forming members 36 and 37 are mounted on the head forming members 17 and 18 respectively. As shown in Fig. 1, outlines 38 may be formed on the various portions for the purpose of coloring to provide an ornamental effect. On account of the formation of the nose forming member 21 and the lower jaw forming member 25, when the head forming members are rotated to the position in Fi 3, the appearance is as though the animal liad thrust his head forwardly, at the same time the mouth is opened.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred form, I do not wish to limit myself to the precise form of structure shown, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as may come within 'the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention whal: I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
