TOY BUILDING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,603, dated February 6, 1883. Application filed December 4, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, MORTON E. CONVERSE, of Winchendon, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Toy Building; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, making part of this specification Figurel beingan end view ofa toy building such as a stable or depotconstructed according to my improvements; Fig. 2, a similar view, showing the roof arranged on the main part of the building so as to make a rectangular form suitable for packing and transportation Fig. 3, a front view of the same in itsnormal position, asin Fig. 1; Fig. 4, atransverse vertical section in the same position.
Like letters designate corresponding parts in all the figures.
This invention is intended for any toy buildings where a root is required, such as depots, saw-mills, stables, and others; and it consists in such a construction of the roof part that it can be removed from its normal position on the body part and be placed in another position on the body to make the whole substaniiallyrectangular, and consequentlyinore compact and convenient for packing and transportation, an important desideratum in toy structures.
The root'A, having its pitch or ridge a nearly or exactly right-angled, rests upon the upper side edges, 1) b, of the body B of the building,
and its ends 0 clap over and embrace the ends (I d of the said body. To render its position exact and firm on the bodythere are preferably grooves or rabbetsffcut in theinner surfaces of the root, to fit upon the said edges I) b of the body, as shown in Fig. 4'. Cleats or other equivalent stops secured to the under sides of the roof, over the edges of the body, may be used instead of the grooves or rabbets.
When,as for original packing in the manufactory, the toy building is to be transported, the roof A is to be placed, not in this normal position above described, but in the position shown in Fig.2, the ridge a fitting over one of the side edgesor corners of the body, one side of the roof fitting over the top of the body and the other side ofthe roof fitting close to one side of the body. One side of the root might fit over the bottom. The use of one of the sides of the root, however, is intended to cover and close the upper and otherwise anclosed part of the building, so as to securely retain inside the articles which go in and are packed with the building. The width ofeach or one side of the roof is made suficient to cover the width of the body for this purpose. If one side of the building, also, is to be made open, wholly or partly, the side of the roof is to be made wide enough to cover the opening.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A toy building having a separate roof, A, constructed to overlap and embrace the ends of the bodyBofthe building, and adapted to be shifted to a position on the body Where its ridge will fit upon one of the side corners thereof, and its sides lie respectively close to one side and the top or bottom of the said body for compact packing, substantially as herein specified.
2. The roof A, constructed to overlap and embrace the body B and provided with herein specified. I
In testimony whereofI have hereuntoset my hand in presence of two witnesses.
