Harold D. Allen, East Hampton, Conn, assignor to The Gong Bell ManufacturingCompany, East Hampton, Conn., a corporation of Connecticut Application July 2, 1932. Serial No. 620,573
3 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in toys. 'An object of my invention is to provide anovel and attractive toy; a further object of my invention is to provide a toy simulating a vacuum changes and modifications may be made without.
departing from the spirit of my invention.
Referring to the drawing, Figure 1 is 'a plan view of a toy embodying my invention, a part of an open mouth on its under side, simulating the form of the body of a vacuum sweeper, 'to which is secured a handle 2 with a flexible joint 3, and
having a dust bag 4 secured to the casing 1 and engaged by a hook 5 on the handle 2, whereby the resemblance of the toy to a commercial vacuum sweeper is produced. 7 g
The shell 1 is provided with traction castor wheels 6, 7, 8. I preferably position two of these traction wheels 7 and 8 at the forward end of the shell 1 and widely spaced apart, to provide stability, and the third wheel 6 at the rear.
The axle 9 carrying the fixed castors 7 and 8 adjacent its ends is rotatably mounted, at its respective ends, in the casing 1 and is provided with a crank section 10.
A bent spring tongue 11, within the casing 1,
is secured at one end to the casing by inserting it under a strap 12 thereof formed by double slits in the casing or like and has its free end 13 bent downward and projecting into the plane of rotation of the crank section of the axle 9 so that the crank section 10 of the axle 9 in its rotation, as the device is moved over the fioor, will engage the free end 13 of the tongue 11 and raise it and, when released by the advance of the crank section beyond the end of the tongue the same will be caused to vibrate.
In operation, the device is moved over a floor or other surface on its castor traction wheels 6, 7, 8. The axle 9, being fixed to the castors '7 and 8 will be rotated thereby and the crank section 10 of the axle 9 will,'in its rotation intermittently engage and release the free end 13 of the spring tongue 11 which will freely vibrato sweeper; a further object of my invention is to when released whereby there will beproduced a sound simulating somewhat the hum or sound of the motor of a commercial vacuum sweeper in operation. I
In the modification of the device illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, I provide a rotating brush 20 at the forward end or mouth of. the shell or casing 1, with the sounding means at, the rear portion of the casing.
.In this last mentioned modification of the device, the brush 20 may be carried on a shaft 21, the ends of which are seated in the casing and which if desired may be provided with traction Wheels 22, 23.
' A traction wheel or castor 24 is mounted at the rear of the shell or casing 1 and carries on its side face a projecting double pointed staple or the like 25 which, in its rotation with the wheel or castor 24, intermittently engages, raises and releases the free end 26 of the bent leaf spring or tongue 2'7 causing it to vibrate whereby there is produced a sound simulating that of a commercial vacuum sweeper in operation.
' Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
1. In a device of the character described, the combination of a shell casing, a tongue therein having a free end, traction wheels for the casing, and means operatively connected with the traction wheels to cause the tongue to vibrate and produce sound by vibration alone.
2. In a toy, the combination of a hollow shell casing simulating the form of a vacuum sweeper and having an open mouth, a spring tongue secured at one of its ends to the said shell casing and having a free end, rotating means adapted to contact intermittently with said free end of the spring tongue, and traction wheels supporting the shell casing and operatively connected with said rotating means, whereby said spring tongue is caused to produce sound by vibration alone. 7
3. In a toy, the combination of a hollow shell ing a free end and means operatively connected with said traction wheels contacting intermittently with said free end of the spring tongue and causing the same to vibrate.
