Description
Patented Jan. 13, 1931 UNITED STATES) rurrm Application filed February 19, 1930, Serial no. 429, 85, sud iii Gerniaii y am ieas. o
My invention relates to im rovements in puppets, and more particular y in puppets in which the limbs are operated by means of strin s from the bottom of the stage,'and the .o ject of the improvements is to provide puppets of this class which can be freely moved into any position, and in which the strings do not interfere with any parts of the stage or with one another. With thisoobject in View my invention consists in disposing the rod carrying the puppet on a base having a foot adaptedto be engaged by one of the Hands of the puppet-player and a illar on which the string-operating mem ers are i mounted.
For the purpose of explaining the invention an example embodying the same has been shown in the accompanying drawing, in which the same letters of reference have been used in all the views to indicate corresponding parts. In said drawing,
Fig. 1 is an elevation showing'the puppet.
from the front,
Fi 2 is an elevation showing thepuppet and its support from .therear, and Fig. 3 is an elevation as seen from the left in Fig. 2. In the example shown 'in the fi res the puppet p is disposed on a rod 6 xed to a sup ort comprising a foot a in the form of a p ate and a pillar a fixed thereto. The strings for operating the limbs of the puppet are directed downwardly and to the base a a, where they are attached to operating members such as rockable levers a, c, d, 10. Thus the strings 1' attached to the arms of the puppet are connected to the levers 0, so that by rocking the levers downwardly the arms can be lifted. To the legs strings s are pelvis, the points g bein V The ticularly the portion corresponding: to; the
orturned on the tab player in any direction, and. the. same hand attached and in the example shown in the located near the middle of the puppet, an in order to have the strin s located near the'rod b I prefer to dispose t e same: crosswise,*as is shown in F1g.2. I l f f trunk iofthe-puppet, andmore parchest is attached bymeans of'a spiral spring k to the block e, and the' head is attached to the top end ofithesaid spiral spring. For movmgthe trunk a string tisattached to the front sideithercof, andthe bottom end of the said string is attached-tolthe lever is. In the construction shown] in the fi resfthe trunk can'b'ej'bent forwardly only: utTIiwishit to be understood; that "I do not limit myself to this featureand that astringmay be attached to the rear -of 'the -trilnk for rocking the samerearwardlyiif A -plurality of puppetsof the construction ;shown inthe'figuresm'a be used-in a stage comprising-facontinuous oor such asatableand'astageframe of'the-desired height, and'the puppetslcalp b3 shftpld efyit e.

and the operating members and strings are completely or almost completely invisible.
Iclaim: A y
1. A puppet having two. movable legs, a support carrying said puppet, a lever rockingl mounted on said support, and a pair of e ongated members attached respectively to said legs and to said lever at'opposite sides of the fulcrum thereof.
2. A puppet having two movable legs, a base carrying thesame and located below the same, a lever rockin lymounted on said'base and located perpendicularly to the direction of the movement of the puppet, and strings connecting said legs with said lever respectively at opposite sides of the fulcrum thereof. y 1
3. A puppet having two movable legs, a.
base carrying the same and located below the with said lever respectively of the fulcrum thereof.
4. A puppet having movable parts, a member carrying the puppet, a base located below the same and comprising a foot adapted to be engaged by the hand of the player and at opposite sides having a smooth undersurface, and a pillarof substantial thickness above said foot rising from-said foot and having said member secured thereto, rockable levers mounted on said pillar, and elongated members connecting said rockable levers and said parts of the P pp 5. A puppet as claimed in cla1m ,4 in which the rockable levers connected with the various movable parts are spaced different distancesfrom the terminal of the base 6. A puppet as claimed in claim 4 in which someof the elongated members cross the support.
7. A puppet having a trunk in the form of a s ring, a block representing the chest carrie by said spring, a string attached to the chest, a rockable lever to which the thread is connected, and a base consisting of a foot and a'pillar above the foot, adapted to support the puppet, the rockable lever being secured to the base.
8. A puppet com rising a flat base havin a smooth under sur ace adapted to be engage by the hand of the player, a vpillar of substantial thickness mounted onthe base, an elongated support mounted on the pillar, a figure mounted on the support, movable arms mounted on the figure, two movable legs mounted on the figure, rocking levers mounted on the pillar, strings connecting each arm to an associated lever, and strings connectin opposite sides of its fulcrum.
In testimony whereof I afiix m si ature.
