Referring to the illustration, Figs. 1, 2, 10, 10a and 10b illustrate a number of the possible combinations that may be achieved by combinin the elements of my constructional toy which are designated ll, 42, 43, 44 and respectively.
One of the important elements of my invention is the truck platform designated [2 which has the general shape of a military truck platform,
and which is provided on its upper and lower surfaces with numerous dowel fitting holes 23. Two bumper attaching dowel pins 3| are fixedly attached to the front end of truck platform l2 and a gun carriage attaching bracket portion 29 is fixedly attached to the underside of the rear thereof. cally fixed to the said gun carriage attaching bracket portion 29. A pair of excentric and rear wheel bearing blocks l3 are attachable by means of dowel pins 22 fixed thereon to mating dowel fitting holes 23 on the underside of truck pla form I 2. A pair of front wheel bearing blocks 14 are attachable by means of dowel pins 22, together with mating dowel fitting holes 23 on the underside of truck platform 12. Said excentric and rear wheel bearin blocks l3 and front wheel bearing blocks M are provided with axle bearing holes 20. Axle. bearing slots 2i are also provided A gun carriage hitch pin 30 is verti- 3 in the excentric and rear wheel bearing blocks l3, spaced far enough from the axle bearing holes 20 to permit the two sets of wheels 15 and Hi to be mounted on the bearing blocks 13. A front wheel axle i! and rear wheel or gun carriage axles 28 provide the means of attaching the interchangeable truck or gun carriage wheels 15 and I6. Washers i9 mounted on front and rear wheel axles I! and i8 prevent friction between the interchangeable truck or gun carriage wheels 15 and truck platform 2. The dowel pins and dowel fitting hole attaching means 22 and 2 3, and the wheels I5 with IE and axles H and 18, are held together by frictional fit. A pair of cricentric truck or gun carriage wheels [6 is. pro vided with excentric wheel mounting holes 52 as shown in Fig. 8, which, together with the said axle means l8, impart an up and down motion simulating travel on rough terrain, when my constructional toy is propelled forwardly or backwardly even on a smooth surface as the floor. An engine and steering wheel bloclcz, having a steering wheel 40 and being formed to resemble the engine compartment of a military truck, is mountable by means of dowel pins 22 in dowel fitting holes 23 on the front upper surface of truck platform l2. Seat back and roof supporting blocks 25 are attachable at various positions on the upper surface of truck platform l2 by means of dowel pins 22 and mating dowel fitting holes 23 as shown in the various views. Elongated roof mounting dowel pins 4| are fixed on the top edges of the said seat back and roof supporting blocks 25 to support matin side and roof elements 45 and 4?. lhe said mating side and roof elements 46 and i! are attachable to each other by means of staggered dowel pins 28 and 49 and mating staggered dowel fitting holes 50 and 51 therein. The said staggered dowel pins 48 and 49 are also attachable in dowel fitting holes 23 alongthe edges of the upper surface of truck platform [2 to form truck sides of the side and roof elements and 41 as shown in Fig. 2, Seat block elements 26 are attachable, if desired,
by means of dowel pins 22 and dowel fitting holes 23 to the seat back and roof supporting blocks 25 to form truck seats resembling military truck seats as best shown in Figs. 2 and 10. A seat back and cab roof block 2'! is attachable by means of dowel pins 22 and dowel fitting holes 23 and serves either as a seat back on truck platform I2 or as a cab roof when attached to mating side and roof elements 46 and M as shown in Fig. 1. A bumper or gun carriage hitch block 28 may serve as a, bumper when attached to bumper attaching. dowels 31 or may serve as a gun carriage hitch block by means of gun carriage hitch hole 34 therein in connection with gun carriage hitch pin 30. To attach a gun carriage 32 to the rear of my constructional toy, said gun carriage 32 is provided with an axle bearing slot 33 which provides bearing for the axle 18 to be used in connection with either the interchangeable truck or gun carriage wheels [5 or the excentric truck or gun carriage wheels I6. A gun mounting block 35 may be mounted by means of swivel pin 39 and either of two dowel fitting holes 23 in gun carriage 32 as best shown in Fig. 8. A clearance hole 36 is formed in gun mounting block 35 to provide support for the trunnions 38 on gun 37. Figs. 1, 2, 10, 10a, and 10b show some of the principal combinations of military toys possible by combining the elements of my constructional toy. Other military toy combinations not illustrated are also possible. The excentric truck or Z} gun carriage wheels it may be mounted either on the gun carriage as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or on the military truck as shown in Fig. 10 to impart an irregular motion to the truck or gun carriage when propelled forwardly or backwardly to resemble passing over rough terrain when on a smooth surface such as a floor. Fig. 10 also shows the gun carriage 32, together with gun 3'! mounted on the truck platform i2. In this case the gun carriage 32 is turned sideways and dowel pins 22, together with dowel fitting holes 23 therein, hold the said gun carriage 32 firmly in a vertical position.
Among the advantages of my constructional toy are the sin'iplicityof its various elements which conform to simple elemental shapes and have no unnecessary parts that may be knocked or broken on". At the same time, when the various elements of my invention are combined to form one of the military truck or gun carriage combinations, the resultant combination very closely resembles an actual military truck or gun carriage in one of its various forms.
Further advantages of my invention are the ease with which the various elements are attached to each other or taken apart in forming the many military toy combinations possible, together with the obvious educational and constructional entertainment features.
It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims. Having thus disclosed and revealed my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1
