Description

minated and the rapid rotation of the brush will causer the lamp to give out a flashing light. Y

In that form of the device shown in Figs. 8 and 9, instead of producing an actual light I create the appearance of a light. As shown herein the arbor l1 with the knob i9 secured thereto is mounted inthe therein. A spider .42 `including armsA 43 is secured to the arbor l1, the arms 43 being colored,

preferably red, so that they will rapidly 19ans.v i

Vment between said elements.

underneath the holes I5, the red color showing through the transparent disk I6 thereby produc-A ing a flashing effect to resemble'a light'. The spider VmayV be attached connection in a manner similar to the connection of the base 24 to the pinion 2.0 .as shown in Figs..

1 and 5 Vwith a geared connection tothe arbor if a more rapid rotation ofthe spider is desired.,

To attract the interest of the child the word Busy may Ybeoaiixedto one of the-arms, as shown in Fig. 8, and toshow through the `'holes and slots therefrom when the Varms come under certain of the'openings.` vThis will convey tothe mind of .the child that the telephone: instrument.'
