LEWIS, or unmrnrs, 'rmm-nssnn ExrLosrv'n 'roY Application filed February 26,
This inventionrelates' to toys which fly to pieces as from an internal explosion, and to mechanical means for producing such explosive eifect. Preferably the toy is made with the general conformation of a battle ship with guns an boat parts mounted on the deck thereof.
The objects of the invention are to provide a toy composed of separable parts, and to rovidemeans for violently separating this structure into its component parts whereby the effect of an internal explosition is simuv lated.
The means by which the foregoing and other objects are accomplished and the manner of their accomplishment will readily be understood from the v on reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Fi 1 is a side view of the toy inthe form of a oat hull with Various parts and accessories mounted thereon; I
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same structure showing an associated device in the general configuration of a torpedo boat for actuating the plunger which releases the explosive mechanism; Fig. 3 is a removed; t
Fig. 4 is asectional elevation taken on the line IV- -IV of Fig. 3; and
Fig. 5 is a transverse section line VV of Fig. 4. Referring now to plan of the device with the cover the drawings in which the various parts are indicated by numerals and confining the description to the toy in boat hull, the interior of which is hollowed out to form a chamber 4 and 5) to receive the explosive mechanism. 11 is the deck composed of two similar flat pieces which. are loosely laid on top of the hull, abutting along the longitudinal center line and having their peripheral edges shaped toconform to the general contour of the hull. Loosely placed on the deck are a number of objects 12, 13, 14,
.15 and 16 simulating respectively a capstan,
cabin, and pilot smokestacks, guns, a deck with house with flag-staff and flag integral the projecting upward therefrom.-
. the path indicatedby held by a releasable following specification 19 and retained'in such 1931. Serial n. 518,441.
Disposed within the hollowed out hull and beneath theldeck is avstriker 17, preferably a rectangular loop of wire hingedly secured as by staples18, and adapted to be swung from a horizontal position hinge loops 18 as a center,"substantially along upward about the 1 s I the arrow in Fig.4,
bya coiled spring 19,which has one leg 20 bearing againstth'e bottom 50f the chamber, and the other leg 21'engaging undera leg of the wire loop 17. This striker isheld in retracted positionby "a retaining rod,or w1re 22, having one end hinged to .thechamber bottom by a staple .23,'and the other end trigger 24. Preferably' this portion ofthe device is an ordinary well known form of mouse trap, and is preferably purchased intheopen market. In such case a the parts describedare mounted on a base 25 and this. base with'the associated parts is secured to the bottom ofthe chamber. The trigger24 has a projecting part 26 ordinarily used forthe reception of'bait in-a mouse trap and thispartis disposed :inthe path:
of a trigger actuatingmemberor trip27 which trip projects from and is carried by a horizontally disposed plunger 28 "slidably mounted in a transverse groove in the chamher bottom and which plunger has one or both ends projecting beyond the sides of A the hull. "The top of the plunger 28, is Sub". taken on the stantially level withior slightly below the bottom of the chamber"10-A and the base 25 extends over "the plungerretainingit in the groove. 29 is a transverse slot in the base 25 throu h which the trip 27 extends upward from the plunger this slot maintaining the release member in upright position, and guiding and limiting its movement,-.therebyalso limitingthe movement of :the plunger.
The plunger 28 may be actuated from I either side of the hull by pressure onthe end thereof, and is preferably actuatedby a ball 30 propelled thereagainst in any desired manner, as for instance by a spr ng actuated plunger 31 mounted in an auxiliary device 32, preferably simulating a torpedo boat. I
In using the" device the striker 17 is re-. tracted' against the pressure of the; spring position by the retaining rod 22 which in turn is engaged with the trigger 24 in the manner common in mouse trap practice, theplunger 28 being centrally positioned in order to permit such engagement of the trigger and retaining rod. Thetwo parts of the deck 11 are then laid on the hull and the various objects before described are positioned on the deck. The
torpedo boat may then be moved to a more or less remote position relative to either side of the boat and be pointed at the end of the plunger and the ball be discharged against such plunger end to release the trigger mechanism. On such release the striker flies upwardthereby throwing the deck upward and scattering the objects loosely mounted thereon in various directions and causing theap- I pea-rance and effect of an internal 'explo sion. After each explosion, the striker may carried by said pljm er for tripping said trigger on movement 0% said cam in either direction and guides for said cam lyingalong opposite sides thereof and slidably securing said plunger in said groove.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature. v 'HOMAS S. LEWIS.
be reset, the parts be collected and'assembled,
and the procedure repeated as desired.
It will of course be understood that the details here shown are for purposes of illustration only, and that I do not intend to limit myself to such detail except wherein any claim it may be specifically set out.
Having described my invention, what I claim is 1- 1.- An explosive toy, comprising a hollow structure having a cover loosely laid thereon, and objects dispersably positionedon said cover, a striker hinged within said hollow structure and adaptedto be swung upward about said hinge against said cover, a retractable spring urging said striker toward said cover, means for holding said striker in retracted position, a trigger engageable with said holding meansto secure same in holding position, a plunger shiftably mounted within said hollow structure and having its ends projecting .therewithout, a double acting cam carried by and projecting upward from said plunger into the path of said trigger. said cam being thereon in position.
2. An explosive toy,comprising a hollow structure having a cover loosely laid thereon. and objects dispersably positioned on said cover, a striker hinged within said hollow tion of said plunger, a double acting cam adapted to trip said trigger on movement in either direction, and 7 guide members disposed on either side of said cam, slidably holding said plunger and cam
