' TOY BOAT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 301,846, datedJ'uly 8, 1884.
' Application filed December 20, 1883. (No model.)
To. all whom, it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Centreton, in the county of Burlington, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in 'Ioy Boats, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure l is a partial side elevation and par- 1o tial vertical section of a toy boat embodying my invent-ion. Fig. 2 is a top or plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a transverse section thereof in line x x, Fig. 2.
Similar letters of ,reference indicate corre- I5 spending parts in the several gures.
2o entrance of water into the boat.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a toy boat, within which is supported clockwork B, the power of the spring whereof is exerted through proper gearing on the shaft v C, to which the propeller D is fixed at the stern of the-boat.
E represents the winding-post of the clock-,
Iwork, the' same passingvertically through the deck, which is raised to present the ap-I pearance of a deck, and formsthe upper bearing of the post. 'Ihe propeller-shaft extends horizontally and longitudinally from the clockwork, and projects through the stern of the boat, the wheel or propeller being secured to 3 5 the rear end of said shaft.
F represents a boss, which is secured to the l stern of the boat and extends into the boat and forms a bearing for the propeller-shaft at the stern. The inner end of said loess F is threaded,
4o and to the same is screwed a stuffing-box, G,
through which the shaft also passes, said box having suitable packing, a, the compression of 4which is adjusted by the stuffing-box. rIhe spring of the clock-work is properly wound As the spring unwinds, its power is imparted to the shaft C, and conscquentlyto the propeller, which, rotating, moves the boat, as is evident, the water acting as a retarding device, and prevent- 5o ing the propeller from running away. The
,it expands.
vented from entering and filling the boat thereat, and rusting the. machinery or clockwork and sinking the boat. rIhe spring of the clock-work is arranged horizontally, so that as it unwinds its coils may open or separate, especially toward the bow, which is unoccupied, and thus the spring is not obstructed as The post E is conveniently accessible at the top of the boat, and its key is shown of the form of a steering-wheel, and as a rudder and tiller are provided the interesting nature of the toy is increased.
- rIhe propeller-shaft may be arranged transversely and have secured to each end, outside of the boat, a'paddle-wheel, thus forming a side-wheel boat. attached to the propeller-shaft may be arranged at a right angle to that shown, and fitted to the transversely-arranged shaft, at or about the middle thereof, and a stuffing-box will Vbe provided for cach side of the boat.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A toy boat having a mechanically-operated propeller-wheel, the mechanism employed being of the order of clock-work', substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. A toy boat having clock work, a shaft geared therewith, and a propeller-wheel connected with said shaft, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. A toy .boat having clock-work, a propeller, and'propeller-shaft, 'the latter being connected with said clock-work, and a stuffing-box for said shaft, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
4. A toy boat having clock -work, a shaft Vgeared therewith, and a propeller which is Witnesses: .IoiIN A. WIEDERsHEIM,
