CARL ARNOLD, OF NUREMBERG, GERMANY.
ILLUMINATID SPINNING TOP.
Application filed November 19, 1927, Serial No. 234,471, and Germany Mareh'30, 1927.
A spinning-top has become known in ing device, become visible through windows in the wall of the top, which have colored transparent panes, so that the sparks are seen through the circulating colored transparent panes as coming and disappearing comet-like phenomena. In illuminated spinning-tops of this type the spark-producing disk, fixed on a vertical axle, rotates.
The invention consists in that the ceriumstone-mechanism serving to produce the spark-brushes engages with the top part of tie spinning top so that it-is rotated, the emery-disk with a hollow support being -mounted in the bottom-part of the spinning top in such a manner that it remains relatively fixed and rotates at slower speed than the spinning top. By this arrangement starlike spark-groups are produced which are visible through the transparent panes.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated, by way of example, in the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 is a section, partly inelevation,
Fig. 2 shows the bottom-part of the spinning top in plan-view;
Fig. 3 shows in a view from below the holding arm for the transparent panes. I
Fig. 4 shows how the plate 71 is mounted on the arm 1'.
The spinning top consists of a casing composed of a bottom-part a, and of a top-part b, a winding up pin 0 being rigidly connected with the casing. In the top-wall of top-part 7) several windows d are arranged which are I covered from below by transparent panes 7, designed to produce colored light-efiects. These colored transparent panes f are not fixed on the inner surface ofthetop-part b vbut on radial holding arms t by means of flaps u. These radial holding arms t are securely held by flaps 'v, stamped out of the top 8 of the spinning top and adapted to be folded over ('Fi 3). In the top-part b of the casing a slig which has apertures it is its bottom-plate,
Flaps k, stamped out of a horizontal disk 5 which is rotatably mounted on pin 0, are bent upward at right angles and project through these apertures h so that the disk 11 rotates when the spinning top is being rotated. Flaps Z bent downward .at right angles are further stamped out of disk 6 and the ends of oscillatable levers m, carrying on the lower surface of their outer tly conical sleeve 9 is fixed mounted in said flaps Z- ,In the lower part 1 a of the casing of the spinning top a friction. disk 0, on the uppersurface of which a ringshaped-disk g of emery paper is stuck, carries the downwardly directed hollow foot pot the spmning top.. This friction-disk 0 is mounted in a manner relatively fixed.
The. operation is as follows: When the spinning-top is being rotated by a winding up mechanism the arms is, projecting into sleeve 9 of the spinning top, move with the spinning top and rotate the horizontal disk z' with the oscillatable levers 'm which carry the cerium-stones a. By the friction exerted by the cerium-stones 'n on the emerydisk 0, this emery-disk b with the foot 70 are rotated at slower speed than the spinso as to remain ning top, so that the sparks which are proorder to prolong the production of starshaped colored spark-formations a disk '1 of heavy material isgmounted on the emerydisk v I To interchange the colored transparent disks the top-part a of the spinning top casing has to be removed and the flaps 01 holding the radial arms tin the top-portion s of the spinning top have to be bent upward. so that the holding arms t with the transparent panes f can be removed and other transparent panes inserted.
The toy becomes more arrangement.
The spinning'top as. well as the several interesting by this elements of the same may be of other shapes" as those described and shown without departing from the scope of a the invention. The interchangeable holding arms may'also be constructed in another manner, aswell as the fixation means.
I claim 1. An illuminated spinning top, compris ing in combination. a casing composed of two parts, a top part having windows in its top wall and abottom-part to which said .top part is detachably connected, a top fixed on the centre of the top-part of the casing, a winding up device in said casing and extending at the top and bottom-end from said casing, ahorizontal disk in said casing rotatably mounted on. said winding device,
