Patented Feb. 14, 1950 .STATES" oFFm I not AIRPLANE HEADB'AND Emma Omar Bacon, Angela, Calif. I
App1ication A an-'2. 1947-,yseria1Natasha;
band of the particular type disclosed in my copending application for U. S. Letters Patent, filed April 8, 1946, Ser. No. 660,504, and the principal objects of my present invention are, to generally improve upon and simplify the structure of the toy set forth in my aforesaid patent application, to provide an improved antifriction bearing for the propeller at the forward end of the toy and to provide a simple, efiicient and easily manipulated, adjustable, elastic connection for the ends of said head band.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevational view showing the toy in position on the wearers head.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the blank which forms the body of the toy head band.
Fig. 3 is a front end view of the toy.
Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the wing member of the toy.
Fig. 6 is a detail elevational view of the adjustably connected ends of the head band.
Fig. 7 is a plan view of the stabilizer representing member.
Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of my invention, l0l ll designates identical members out or stamped from a thin sheet mate rial such as cardboard, heavy paper, plastics or the like, joined at their inner ends by a short front wall member ll having a central aperture 12, and depending from the lower edge of said member II, is a short wall I3, which, when the toy is made up, occupies an inclined position between the sides of the toy, to the rear of wall H.
Wall I3 is provided with a centrally arranged aperture I4 and on its side edges with ears l5, which latter pass through slots 16 formed in the sides I0 of the toy body, thus holding said wall in a fixed position.
Members ID are shaped so as to give the appearance of a conventional airplane body with the rear end portion thereof provided with horizontally disposed slots H, which receive a thin sheet member I8 shaped to represent elevators or stabilizers. The central portions'of the longitudinal edges of member l8 are notched as designated by l9, for reception of portions of walls 1m the ends of slots 11 when the toy :is made up. (See Fig.7.).
A wing representing member 20 of thin sheet material passes through slots 2Ia in walls It], rearwardly from wall H and projecting from the central portions of the front and rear edges of this member 20 are ears 2|, which serve as spacers to hold said walls apart.
Formed in the edges of member 20 adjacent ears 2| are notches 22 for the reception of portions of the body representing member at the ends of slots '2la, thus providing a substantial connection between said body representing memher and wing :0.
Depending from the lower edges of walls I0 below slots Zia are narrow bands 23 and formed integral with the lower edges thereof is a head band 24, disposed substantially parallel with the body representing walls I0.
Stamped or cut in the end portions of this head band are horizontally disposed T-shaped members 25, which when pressed outward from the band 24, provide hooks for reception of the ends of an elastic band 26, thus enabling the size of the head band to be readily adjusted. (See Fig. 6.)
A propeller representing member 21, preferably formed in a single piece from clear or colored plastics, has a hub 28 that is mounted for rotation on a spindle 29, the forward end of which is bent to form a loop 30.
That portion of spindle 29 to the rear of hub 28 passes through apertures 12 and I3, with a V-shaped bend 3| in said spindle just behind wall II and a right angled bend 32, to the rear of wall 13.
The construction just described provides a simple, firm and readily manipulated bearing for the propeller 21.
In playing with the toy, head band 24 is placed on the head with the ends connected by means of the elastic band applied to certain of the hook members 25.
As the wearer of the toy runs forward, or drives a bicycle or scooter, the propellor member 21 will be rotated on spindle 29 thereby adding to the interest and attractiveness of said toy.
When the toy is used as an advertising medium, the outer faces of body members Ill and one or both faces of the wing and elevator member I 8 may bear advertising matter.
This it will be seen that I have provided a toy airplane head band that is simple in structure, inexpensive of manufacture and very effective in performing the functions for which it is intended.
It will be understood that minor changes in the size, form and construction of the various parts of my improved toy may be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without departing from the spirit of the invention, the scope of which is set forth in the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
1. In a toy airplane head band, a body formed from a single piece of thin sheet material bent double to form a pair of identical side walls and a narrow' front wall between the forward ends of said side walls, an inclined wall projecting upwardly from the lower end of said front wall, between the forward portions of said side walls, with pairs of slots formed in said side walls a spindle seated in said inclined and front walls and projecting forwardly from the latter, a propeller mounted on the forward portion of said spindle, a separately formed wing representing member, removably seated in one pair of said slots, and a' separately formed stabilizer removably seated in the other pair of said slots.
band.
