UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM LEGGETT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO JAMES N. BOOK- STAVER, OF RUTHERFQRD, NEW JERSEY.
TOY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,275, dated February 13, 1883.
o Application filed December 1?,1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM LEGGETT, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have in- 5 vented a certain new and useful Toy, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Like letters refer to corresponding parts in both the figures.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a side- -2 in the piston-heads E, which correspond in shape with and are snitablyfittedin the pistonboxes D. The piston-boxes are pivoted at F and oscillate in conformity with the motion of the piston-heads, which they embrace. The
go piston-head and corresponding piston-box one or both of them-is or are covered or lined with emery or sand cloth, or provided in any desirable manner with roughened, corrugated,
or irregular surfaces. All the parts are piv- 35 oted in and supported by the standard I I I,
which is slotted at one end to embrace the wheels A and J, and at the other end is provided with the handle. Gr.
Thereis also shown in the drawings awhistle,
4.0 N, placed in such a position as to-be conveniently blown by the person using the toy. This whistle maybe connected with a bellows for blowing the same automatically, which bellows may be worked by being suitably connected by any well-known contrivances with either of the operating parts of the toy.
The piston-boxes, instead of being made to oscillate, may be made stationary on the bar I by connecting the piston-bar to the piston-head by means of a hinge. There are, however, evident advantages inconstructing these parts as illustrated, and I prefer to make them that way.
The lever-arms O are preferably arranged to point in opposite directions, so as to give an alternating action to the piston-heads.
The mode of operation embodied in this toy is the following: The wheel A, resting on the ground, is revolved by friction when the toyis pushed or drawn along. By means of the strap K this motion is communicated to the wheel J, the lever-arms O, the piston-rods H, and the friction-heads E. The friction thus caused between the emery-paper, with which the piston-heads are covered and the pistonboxes lined, produces a noise which very cleverly imitates the puilfing of a high-pressure steam-engine.
Having thus described myinvention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a toy, the method hereinbefore substantially described of imitating the noise of an engine, which method consists of causing friction between two or more suitably-roughened surfaces by means of reciprocating arms operated substantially as described.
2. A toy consisting of the following parts, in combination: the wheel A, wheel J, leverarms 0 G, piston-arms H H, piston-heads EE, and piston-boxes D D, operated, supported, and combined substantially as set forth, for the purpose specified.
WILLIAM LEGGETT. Witnesses:
