Description

L. KYSER & A. O. REX.v Toy Mortar.
No. 234,132. Patented Nov. 9,1880.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LOUIS KYSER AND ALFRED O. REX, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
TOY M O RTA R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 234,132, dated November 9, 1880.
Application filed January 10, 1880.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, LOUIS KYsER and ALFRED 0. Rex, both of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Toy Mortars, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to that class of toys which involve tire-works in their operation; and it consists in mechanism which is operated to cause an explosion of powder and projecta rocket or bomb from out a miniature mortar into the air, and, further, in the construction of said rocket or bomb.
The object of our invention is to produce a toy designed to take the place of the toy cannon now in common use, and also to make it capable of taking the place of the ordinary rocket, dispensing entirely with the use of the stick.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of our improved toy. Fig. 2is a sectional elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a section of the bomb. Fig. at is a perspective view, showing the polygonal recess and projection whereby the mortar is held in a rigid position in the carriage.
A is a small cast-iron mortar, set firmly in a stand, B, at a a, and prevented from turning by polygonal projections or trunnions on the mortar, fitting into corresponding polygonal recesses in the stand or carriage, and inclined slightly from the vertical.
The stand B extends about equidistant on both sides of the mortar, and is composed of sides I) b and connecting-braces c c.
Any other design may be used for the stand, and, if desired, the mortar may be so attached to such stand that it can be easily disconnected therefrom for the purpose of more convenient packing.
The mortar is provided with a cored hole, I), of size sufficient to take in the bomb J. This hole D is connected with the cap-support E by a small hole, 6. The percussion-cap G rests upon E, and is held in place by the projecting rim 0.
Situated under the mortar is a bell-crank, G, which is pivoted to the lugs F. One arm of this bell-crank G carries a hammer, H, and
the other, g, has attached to it a cord, I.
The bomb J, which forms subject-matter of another application, is constructed as follows: K is the colored bomb, one side of which is furnished with a depression, it, into which one end of the slow fuse M is inserted, and the other remains in the powder L. The bomb K and powder L are contained within a paper case, N, which is secured at O.
The operation of the toy is as follows: A bomb, J, is placed, powdered end downward, within the mortar. A pointed wire or pin is then thrust through the hole 0, breaking the paperNa-nd exposing the powder L under said hole. A percussion -cap. 0, is then placed upon E and the cord I suddenly pulled, causing the hammer H to strike the cap violently, whereby said cap is exploderhaud at the same time, through the agency of the hole 0 and the broken paper case N, the powder L is ex ploded. This projects the colored bomb K far into the air, and at the same time ignites the fuse M, which in time explodes the saidbomb.
The fuse M or powder L is so regulated that when the bomb K is projected to its greatest extent it is exploded.
If desired, the stand B may be made fast to a board, 820., to make it firm.
Having now described our invention, what we claim as new is A toy mortar having polygonal trunnious,
supported in a nearly-vertical position by a frame having polygonal seats for the trunnions about equidistant from the ends of the frame, substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.
In testimony of which invention we hereunto set our hands.
