PEN DULUM T OY Original Filed April 24. 1929 Patented Aug. 2, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENTO GEORGE, E. WORTHINGTON, OF NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA,\ASSIGNOR TO J. T I
, CATTERLIN, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA PENDULUK To? 1 Application filed a rii 24, 1929. Serial No. 357,512.. meter December 18, 1931.
My invention relates to apendulum toy, or amusement device adapted to automatically lum but producing designs which aredifferent and whilethe lines are uniform and evenly spaced, they are graduated down to the last movement of the pendulum. The practically impossible My invention as embodied comprises two pendulums mounted to swing relative to each other, and both connected together by means.
of two arms which overlie the table or support upon which the paper is placed, said arms being connected together and provided stylus.
In order to explain my invention, I have shown on the accompanying sheet of drawing one embodiment of the invention, together with a few designs as actually produced with penand ink with the instrument, although with pencil or stylus and carbon paper the designs are less shaded. In the drawing Figure 1 is a plan view, lookingdown upon the device and the corner of a table or board upon which the device is mounted, with the pendulums swinging down toward the floor;
Figure2'is a side elevation, partly in section, taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
' Figure 3 is a view of one of the pendulums H and its pivotal hearing or support;
Figure 4 is a detail showing a modified pivotal or universal mounting for the pendulum i Figures 5, 6, 7, 8', 9, 10, 11 are actual designs made' with the instrument with penqandink;
Referring now in detail to the drawing, I have provided a supporting member 11,
adapted to be mounted upon the corner of a table or board,-12, and secured, asby means of a clamp 13, and having two angle portions, as at 11, 11, with notches, as 14, cut
therein, andwith V-shaped bearing plates 15,;mounted thereonjto receive the bearing with means for holding the pen, pencil or can swing in directions at anglestoe ach other.
Said pendulums are provided at theirlower, ends :with Weight elements, 18, 18, which can alsobe adjusted on the lower ends of said pendulums by'means ofpins 19, through holes 20in said pendulums. Theupper ends of said pendulums project above the pivotal mountings, and are shown provided with tacks or' holding elements,"21, over which rubber bands 22, can be placed for holding the ends of two arms23 and24, having" points 25,
. bearing against the upper ends of the penduflums, tobe moved thereby, the other ends of saidrubber bands being placedover holding.
elementsor tacks 26,- 26, on the arms 23 and 24, asshown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The two arms23 and 2 1, are adjustably connected-together at their outer ends, onearm being-inserted through a slot S in the other and held in adjustedyposition by means of a through pin 27 The outer end of one of said arms, 23,
is splitand adapted to holda pencil, pen or stylus, designated 28, held in place by means of a thumb nut 29,
In Fig. 4, Ihave shown one means for mounting the pendulums for. universal swinging movement, by means of ball and socket bearing, designated as awhole 30.
e use ancloperation of the instrument maybe iefly described as follows:
The instrument is set. up as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, the stylus 28, beingin place and'restingf upon the paper P, which may be I carbon over a sheet of paperto. receive the design, or if pencil or pen is used, the paper erly ino'unted andadjusted, substantially as shown, the pen, pencil or stylus is raised and maybe a sheet of paper to receive the design without any carbon. The parts being prop-fl the pendulums started to swinging and then the pen, pencil or stylus letdown gently upon the paper and the design commences andw'ill' be formed as the "pendulums swinguntil quiet. No twddesigns are alikeqandfthere is no way of accurately determining-that the tion. It willnotedthat the lines are uniiformly spaced and are made with such uni,
designs. will be the same in size or configurw.
formi'tyand regularity as to curvature, spac- 7 ing and beauty and yet without any control other than to start the pendulums toswinging. The two pendulums swing at angles to each other and the arms are connected to be moved together. The various adjustments of the connections 'providedgvary the designs as to size and form, and while I have shown and described one practical embodiment of '10 the invention, I am awarethat ehanges in V t details can be made without departing. from the spirit of the invention, and I do not, therefore, limitthe invention, except as I may be limited by the hereto appended claims.
