NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HERMAN THOMASS, OF BROOKLYN, ASSIGNOR TO LOUIS ALTHOF, CHARLES ALTHOF, GUSTAV ORONEMEYER, AND WILLIAM G. L. RUBSAMEN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
TOY WHIRLIGIG.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,949, dated November 2 1, 1882. Application filed October 16,1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERMAN THOMASS Of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Toy Whirligig, of which the following is a specification.
Figure l is a plan or top view of my improved toy Whirligig. Fig; 2 is a side view, partly in section, of the same. Fig. 3 is an 10 enlarged vertical section of the upper part of the revolving post. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are detail views, hereinafter more fully referred to.
This invention relates to a new automatic toy, which represents a carrousel or Whirligig; and it consists in a new construction of post, whichis driven by clock-work and connected with the arms that carry the figures of the whirligig,and also in other details of construction that are hereinafter more fully referred to.
In the accompanying drawings, the letter A represents a case or box properly weighted, and adapted to stand on a table and serve as a support for all the other mechanism of the toy. This case or 'box contains suitable 2 clock-work for rotating an upright shaft, B,
that extends vertically from its center. The clock-work can be wound up by a key or in analogous manner. The shaft B, which is being revolved by this clock-work, connects with o the tubular lower end, a, of the postG, which a post is caused to revolve, together with the shaft B, by suitable clutch-connection, (indicated in Figs. 4 and 5,) and which at its upper end is enlarged by being composed of a series of outwardly-extending braces b, which are united at their upper ends to a plate ordisk, d. The said parts a1) dconstitute the post (1. On this post is supported a disk, D, to which are rigidly fastened the radial arms 4.0 E E, from which the figures of the carrousel are suspended in the manner hereinafter described. The plate D has out of its center an aperture, 6, through which'passes a pin, f, that projects upward from the plate d, so that 5 thus the plate D will be revolved, together with its arms E, by the post (3, on which it rests, and on which it finds a broad bearing. The rotation will be around the axis of the shaft B, to which the pin f is eccentric, and, for greater certainty and evenness of motion, a short spindle, g, is secured in the center of the plate (1, and projects upward through a central aperture of the plate D. The arms E E, at their outer ends, have each a pair of small holes, h, into which are hooked the upright wires 11 i, that support the toy animals or vehicles F. This connection allows these toy figures, as they are carried around the axis of the shaft B, to vibrate on their upper connections with the arms E, and thusincrease the efi'ect and variety of movement.
Suitable toy figures can be placed upon the animals F, or into the toy vehicles, to increase the pleasure of the child that may operate the toy. For further increase of such effect by suitable bevel-gearing, or otherwise, with the shaft B or post G, a crank-shaft,j, may be revolved connected with a toy figure, l, of a man, so as to produce the appearance as though said toy figure was propelling the carrousel.
Some of the arms E E may be extended beyond the points for suspending the vehicles F, to constitute supports for an outer ring, G, which carries a roof like framing, H, over which a suitable canvas covering, I, may be stretched, as indicated in Fig. 2; or, in lieu of extending such arms E so as to support the ring G by them, special arms E, as indicated in Fig. 1, may be placed on the plate D between the regular arms E E, and extended upward to support said ring G.
I claim- 1. In combination with the casing A, containing clock-work, and shaft B, the post 0, composed of lower tubing, a, diverging arms b, and upper plate, (I, substantially as and for the purpose specified. a I 2. The combination of the case A, containing clock-work, with the rotating shaft B, ro-
tating post 0, having upper plate, d, and pin f, and with the plate D, having aperture 6 and arms E, substantially as described.
3. In a toy Whirligig or carrousel, the vehicle-body F, combined with the rods *5, and with the rotating arms E, into which said rods are hooked to be capable of independent vibration, substantially as described.
HERMAN THOMASS.
