BYfa/ww, Z jag/f Patented Sept. 27, 1938 UNlTED S'lATES PATVEN T o FIcE TOY John Collins, San Francisco, Calif. 7 Application December 4, 1936, Serial No. 114,181 V 3 Claims. My invention relates to'improvements in toys, and it consists of the combinations, constructions and arrangementshereinafter described and claimed.
An object of my invention is to provide a toy Which connect the ball to the paddle so act as a unit.
It is obvious that may be resorted to such as a spring clamp conthe following specification, and the novel features the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the device;
Figure 2 is a 1; and
Figure 3 is ure 1. I I
In carrying out my invention I provide abat or paddle indicated generally-at l'. The paddle has a batting area indicatedat 2, and a handle such as fiberboard, etc. I approximately one-quarter of an inch thick, suflicient strength is aflorded.
The batting area may be of any size desired, and I have found that a five and one-half inch a section along the line 33 of Fig The eyelet has flanges II and I2 that lie section along the line 2- 2 of Fig position on the paddle. The best location seems to be on a curved line a that is a continuation of the batting area periphery. The center of the circle lies on the curved line, and is disposed midway between the sides l5 and 16 of the shank or neck portion 4.
It is obvious that the placing of an opening 9 at the narrow portion of the paddle will weaken this portion. The flanges H and I2 of the eyelet l will tend to overcome this weakness because the eyelet flanges and the eyelet itself acts as La. reinforcing member not only to the opening 9, but also to the area adjacent to the opening. tion I provide staples l1 and dispose these on opposite sides of the opening. Figure 3 shows the staples as extending substantially throughout... J w
and a handle, said paddle being provided with a -balFreceiving opening the thickness of the paddle. The U portions of .the staples are imbedded inthesurface I'3' so as the striking area. The,
not to interfere with A. staples may be of any desired length, andare preferably equal to the diameter of the opening. The edges of the shank 4 may also be reinforced adjacent to the opening 9; InFiguresl'l' and 3 I show reinforcing channels l8 crimped into the paddle so that the flanges IQ of the'channelsw'ill lie flush with the surfaces .l3'and l4. Although the drawing shows the channels extendinga short distance along the'shank 4 and paddle-portion 2, it is obvious that a single channel'may be 'u'sed and extend around the entire edge of the paddle and handle; 1 From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereofmaybe readily understood. I
In playing with the toythe ball 5 is removed from the eyelet l0, and then the handle 3 is grasped in the hand. The "paddle may be used In addig for merely striking the ball and the rubber string 6 will return the ball, the object of the toy being for the player to again strike the ball. Many tricks can be accomplished with the toy. The opening 9 does not interfere with the striking area, and provides a simple means for attaching the ball to the paddle when the device is not used. This manner of attachment is the principal object of the invention.
While -I haveshown only the preferred form of my invention, it should be understood that various changes or modifications may be made within -;-,th e scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention. I claim:
1. Incombination, a paddle with a striking area at the place where the handle rnerges into the ball striking area, the waiter the opening being reinforced and having a diameter slightly less thanithe ball for frictioriallya engagingawithwthe ball, and auxiliary paddle reinforcing: means disposed adjacent to the opening.
- 2. In combination-,= a%paddle havinga handle and and a ball receiving opening, reinforcing staples disposed-adjacentto the opening, and reinforcingichannelsengaging with the edges of the paddle disposed-adjacent to the opening.
P 3-. In a'device; of the type described, a paddle having ahandle; saidep'addle being provided with an openlngybetween-a ball. striking area and the handle-and a reinforcing eyelet for the opening having flanges abutting'opposite surfaces of the paddle said eyelet being large enough to snugly receivea ball. f L I 1 v JOHN J. COLLINS.
