LEE S. BURRIDGE AND SEWMAN R. MARSHMAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

TOY AND ADVERTISING MEDIUM.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 296,724, dated April 15, 1884.

Application filed November 15. 1883.

To all whom, it may con/eer e Be it known that we, LEE S. BURRIDGE and NEWMAN R. MARsHMAN, citizens of the United States, residing at Sew York, in the county and State of New York, have invented an In1 provement in Toys and Advertising Mediums.

The following is the specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is at front view of the toy, with the figure of a man as the principal object. Fig. 2 is a side View of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a 1nodification cf Fig. 1.

, B, Fig. 1, is a hole in the large figure through whicha wire, 0, is passed and bent over.

E is the figure of a child, held at D by the wire 6, which is bent in such a manner as to rest on the extended arm F of the large figure. The arms F F of the figure are hinged at L L, and checked from falling Farther than at right angles to the body by pins NN. The string M is tied to the arms at P P, so that when it is pulled the arms will rise,and when released will fall by their own weight. Now,

the small figure E, supported by the wire 0, will rise with the arm,and by its own impetns will pass the centei-B and fall on the other arm, the operation having the appearance as if the child were thrown from one hand to the other.

(No model.)

Fig. 3 is a slight modification in the subject of Fig. 1, showing a bull instead of a man, and a negro instead of a child.

- \Ve donut con fine ourse'lvesto the two figures shown. Many other forms could be madeas, for instance, a mule could be made to kick an object; or two figures could be made to toss an object from one to the other; also, onelever or arm could be operated alone. If the wire is checked from passing its center by apin, it would fall to the same position again.

lVe are well aware that a toy has been made of this description in the form of a dressed doll; but

W hat we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. As an advertising medium, any figure, A, having one or two pivot-ed parts, F F, the wire C, and the small figure or object E, all substantially for the purpose described.

2. As a toy, any figure, A, shown on a flat surface, having one or two hinged parts, FF, the wire (1, and the small figure or object E, likewise shown on a flat surface, all substantially for the purpose as shown and described.
