TOY FROG.
No.188,875. Patented March 27,1877.
Fly 1 ATTOR N EY NJ ETERS. PNOTO-LITNOGRAFHER, WASHINGTON. D O.
UNITED STATES PATENT GFFIGE EMILE DURAND, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN TOV FROGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [88,876, dated March 27, 1877; application filed January 13, 1877.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EMILE DURAND, of
, Philadelphia, 'in the county of Philadelphia,
and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement, in connection with the hollow metallic body, of a croaking-spring attached to said body, and extending upward in front of the open throat portion, as hereinafter shown and described.
In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the metallic body casting, having the general exterior form of a frog. This body is made hollow, and open at the throat I), and also at the base 0, which is somewhat rectangular in form, and is provided with a base-flange,d, extending inward under a horizontal groove, 2, made entirely around the rear and sides to form a seat for the reception of the end of the croakingspring 8. This spring is rectangular in form, and made with a dent, e, filed thin on its projecting side,
which is located, when the spring is in its seat, a little within the ends of the groove flange 01, indicated at f. The free end 9 of the spring is turned upward toward the margin of the hollow throat b, in a measure forming a front therefor. When this portion of the spring is pressed toward the throat, the warp or dent in the spring is suddenly reversed with a sharp sound, followed immediately as the pressure on the spring is released by a similar sound in a somewhat higher key as the rise or dent springs automatically back into its normal position. These sounds are designed to imitate the shrill croaking of a frog.
I am aware of the Patent No. 186,169, and do not claim the device constructed as therein described; but
What I do claim as my improvement is- The toy croaking frog herein described, consisting of the concave plate or body A, having a base-flange, d, and groove 2 around the latter portion, and adented spring, 8, one end being seated in the flanged groove, and the free end 9 curved upward toward body A to form a throat, all constructed and arranged to operate substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
EMILE DURAND.
