M. PAGE TOY j cooKme s'rovE IIVVHVTOR. Mar/f Page WM ATTORNEY United States PatentO TOY COOKING STOVE Mark Page, Great Neck, N. Y.
Application June 29, 1954, Serial No. 440,005 7 Claims. (Cl. 46-10) My invention relates generally to toy cooking stoves and specifically to toy cooking stoves in which a simulation of combustion is visually presented.
It is among the objects of my invention to provide a toy cooking stoves in which the visual effect of combustion is presented to the eye.
A further object of my invention is to provide a visual eifect of combustion which is harmless.
Yet another object of my invention is to provide a toy cooking stove which generates a stream of sparks.
Still another object of my invention is to provide a toy cooking stove in which the effect of individual burners separately controlled may be simulated.
Yet another object of my invention is to provide a toy cooking stove which is simple in form, easy to construct, relatively inexpensive, durable and provides a maximum simulation of the full scale object which it represents as a toy.
These objects and advantages as well as other objects and advantages are achieved by the device illustrated in the appended drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a partial view in perspective of the top of my toy cooking stove;
Figure 2 is a top view of the toy cooking stove with the top plate removed;
Figure 3 is a side view of Figure 2 taken on the lines 33 looking in the direction of the arrows;
Figure 4 is a detailed view of a portion of the bridge support and spark producing element;
Figure 5 is a side view of the spring motor used for rotating the turntable;
Figure 6 is a top developed view of the bridge;
Figure 7 is a view of the support in perspective; and
Figure 8 is a view of the demi-bridge.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, my toy cooking stove provides a housing or casing 11 formed to represent the body of a cooking stove. The top of the casing is enclosed by a top 12 which is fastened to the casing 11. At one side of the top 12, there is provided a grill 13 having openings formed to simulate the cooking vessel supports existing in the conventional gas cooking stove. Beneath the top 12, a table 14 is provided which acts as a support for the spark producing mechanism and is attached to the casing in any suitable manner. At opposite ends of the table upstanding flanges 15 are formed. In the center of the table a hole 16 is provided. Mounted immediately on and below the table 14 is the motor 17. A driven shaft 18 extending from this motor extends through the hole 16 in the table 14. Attached to this shaft 18 is the friction disc 19. The top of the shaft 18 is inserted in a center hole 20 in a bridge 21. The ends 22 of the bridge are bent downward and inwardly, inserted through holes in the table 14, so that the bridge is secured to the table 14. An abrasive dress 23 is applied to the disc 19. The bridge 21 also serves to mount two supports 24. Each end of the bridge 21 is provided with a rectangular opening 25. The end of the supports 24 has a constricted portion 26 and an end portion 27 which Patented Dec. 17, 1957 is wider than the rectangular opening 25. The end 27 may be slightly deformed and inserted diagonally in the opening 25; then the support 24 is straightened and turned and the spark producing stick 32 is dropped through the opening 33.
The end 28 of the support 24 is a bent-over portion and is provided with shoulders 29 which rest on the bridge 21. The opposite end 30 of the support 24 has an opening 31 centrally located thereon. A stick of spark producing material 32, such as cerium, is frictionally engaged with and positioned in this opening and extends downwardly therefrom. The opening 31 is so positioned on the end 30 that the stick of spark producing material 32 will extend through a somewhat oval opening 33 formed in the bridge 21. The support is also provided with a flange 35 or downwardly extending side portion upon which the support rests in engagement with the bridge 21 so that the normal position of the support 24 will be approximately horizontal. It is to be noted, however, that the engagement of the end 27 with the opening 25 permits of a loose up-and-down motion of the support which is almost hinge-like in character, yet does not permit the support 24 to pivot sidewise or horizontally around the bridge. The end of the stick 32 of spark producing material rests gravitationally upon the abrasive dress 23 of the disc 19 as will appear in Figure 4. When the motor 17 is wound so that the shaft 18 revolves and causes the disc 19 to rotate, the abrasive dress 23 in contact with the stick of spark producing material 32, causes a shower of sparks to be thrown off therefrom.
Means is provided for interrupting the gravitational contact of the stick 32 with the disc 19. This means is a plurality of rods 34, each of which pass underneath the center of each of the corresponding supports 24. At the point where the rods 34 pass under the support 24 there is an eccentric bent or off-set portion 36, so that when the rod 34 is rotated, this off-set portion 36 will raise the support slightly and take the stick 32 of spark producing material out of contact with the disc 19, thereby cutting off the spark. The manipulation of the rod 34 is affected by the handles 37 on the end of the rod. The rods 34 are supported at each end by the flanges 15 in the table 14. There are holes in these flanges through which the rods 34 pass.
The bridge 21 supports two of the supports 24. The remaining two supports 24', 24 are supported on the demibridges 38 which also pass through openings in the table and are attached thereto, in the same manner that the major bridge 21 is attached.
The operation of my toy stove is as follows: With all the handles 37 disposed in the position shown in Figure 1, the eccentric portions 36 of the rods 34 have raised the supports 24 so that the spark producing sticks 32 no longer engage the friction disc 19. This is shown in Figure 3. The motor 17 is wound whereupon the disc 19 commences to rotate. When any of the handles 37 is rotated to a downward position, the corresponding support 24 is lowered and the stick of spark producing material is allowed to come in contact with the abrasive dress 23 of the disc 19. This position is indicated in Figure 4. The rotating contact of the abrasive dress 23 with the stick 32 causes a shower of sparks to be thrown off. These sparks when observed through the grill work 13 produces a visual effect of the combustion of household gas for cooking purposes.
The foregoing description is merely intended to illustrate an embodiment of the invention. The component parts have been shown and described. They each may have substitutes which may perform a substantially similar function; such substitutes may be known as proper substitutes for the said components and may have actually been known or invented before the present invention; these substitutes are contemplated as being within the scope of the appended claims, although they are not specifically catalogued herein.
