Patented Nov. 11, 1930 ras MANY, ASSIGNORS TO'SAID LEEMANN TOY Application filed February 7, 1928, Serial No.
Toys are known, in which articles capable of rotating, such as balls or coins, can be put into continuous motion. on a support to be held in a horizontal position. There are also similar toys, in which a rotatable disc is provided, on Which the articles in question are put in motion b mechanical means.
I In contradistinction to the toys referred to, the present invention has for its object to arrange a-rotatable disc in such a manner that it can be heldfreely in the hand approximately horizontally and, after the article (ball or the like) to be given a rotary motion has been placed on it can be rotated about a vertical-axis directly by the other hand or by clockwork, thecoaction of the two operations causing the suitably shaped articles which are to be laced on the disc (by suitably changing t e position-of the approximatel horizontally freely held plate) to be move in such a manner. that they remain -continuously upright while rolling and running in a circle, without falling oil? the disc.
in the accompanying drawing three constructional examples of the invention are shown diagrammatically, Figs. 1 and 2 being a side elevation and plan view of one constructional form, Figs. 3 and 4 a vertical section through another constructional form and a plan viewthereof and Figs.f5 and 6 a vertical section and plan View of a third constructional form.
1 is the'rotatable disc or plate, which in Figs. 1 and 2 is quite fiat, in Figs. 3 and 4 is slightly raised towards the edge and in Figs.
' '5 and 6 has a more decidedly upturned edge.
2 is a shaft supporting the disc at 3.. 4 is a handle in which the shaft lies loosely. This handle has a wider portion 5 at its upper end for preventing the disc, which rotates above the widened portion with only a slight clearance 6, from bending. Should the disc become bent,'it will slide on the upper surface of the widened portion '5 of the handle 4' without being able to become more bent and get out of true, so that the object of the toy can alwaysbe attained.
lin the constructional form shown in Fig. 3 in the middle part of the lower surface of the disc '1 is a reinforcement 7 for preventing 252,819, and in Germany January 23, 1928.
the shaft '2 which is attached at 3 from becom ng bent at this point. l/Vith the same ob- ]ect in view the upper end of the handle part 4 is again widened by the provision of a fixed dish or plate 8 which is open to the top and between which and the disc 1 there is normally a slight clearance 6.
In the example shown in Figs. 5 and 6 the disc 1 has a rim 9 which has a decided upward bend. Such an upwardly bent rim is not actually required for carrying out the object of the toy, but it is of advantage to less expert players if, where there is a cer* tain lack of skill, the ball, coin or the like is prevented by such a rim from rolling oil the plate. In this example the drive is not operspring or clockwork mechanism 10 of any suitable kind, which can be wound up by the key or fixed handle 11. Thus, while the hand holding the handle is occupied, the other hand remains free, while the disc is being turned by-the clockwork, for more easily placing the-ball, coin or ring on the rotary disc after it has commenced to rotate, which requires a certain amount of skill.
In Figs. 1 and 3, on the other hand, a crank 12 is provided for turning the shaft 2 and with it the disc 1. 1n the example shown in Fig. 3, toothed'gearing 13 is provided, for enabling both the speed oi? rotation of the disc to e varied and the drive to be efi'ected at right angles to the shaft 2 from the side instead of from below. 14, 15 and 16 are examples of articles to be laid on the disc and to be caused to rotate thereon, the article in Figs. land 2 being a disc or coin, in Figs. 3
and 4 a ball, and in Figs. 5 and 6 a ring, morp particularly a-rubber ring.
hat we claim is:
1. A toy for playing a game of skill, comprising in combination a vertical handle, having its upper end of greater diameter than the handle, a shaft extending axially through said handle and capable of rotating loosely therein, means carried by said shaft capable of being actuated by one hand for rotating .ated' entirely by hand but by means of a f the shaft continuously in the same direction while the handle is held substantially stationary with the other hand, and a rotatable ice 2 menses disc or plate mounted on the to end of the shaft, on which articles capab e of rolling can be placed, when the disc is rotating, for imparting a continuous rotary motion to 5 them, the top surface of the enlargement at the upper end'of the handle being almost but not quite in contact with the under surface of the rotatable disc all round a circumference equal to at least half that of the said disc, as
set forth.
2. A toy for playing a game of skill, comprising in combination a vertical handle, a shaft extending axially through said,handl e and ca able of rotating loosely therein,
means carried by said shaft capable of bein actuated b one hand for rotating the sha continuous y in the same direction while the handle is held substantiall stationary with the other hand, a "rotata le disc or plate mounted on the top end of the shaft, on which articles ca able of rolling can be placed, when the iso is rotating, for impartin a continuous rota motion to them, an r a dished plate having its concave side uppermost fixed to the top end of the handle for 1 Ereventing the rotary disc from becoming ent, as set forth.- V In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this s ecification.
