SPELLNG TOY OR PUZZLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,823, dated May 26, 1885.
Application filed July 18, 1854. (Model.)
have the spelling of a word more fully irnpressed upon the mind, as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4. respectively represent an original group and three successive transformations afforded by successive inversions of three pictured strips. For example, when the three strips are laid side by side, as in Fig. 1, so as to spell D O G, a dog is the mostconspicuous object in the accompanying picture thus formed. By turning the first strip over, a hog is brought into the scene,together with the letter H, so as to spell H O G, as seen in Fig. 2. Inversion now of the middle strip brings an old woman into view, together with the letter A, so as to spell H A G, as seen in Fig. 3. Turning over of the third strip introduces some hay into the picture and the letter Y,77 so as to spell H A Y, as seen in Fig. 4.
In like manner the word D A Y might be spelled and represented by a modication of the last-mentioned arrangement produced by changing thestrip H back to D, and so forth.
By addition of other two-faced cards bearing other fragmentary additions to the origi` nal picture, or substitutions for parts of it, a great variety of pictured words may be brought to view.
The strips may be of card-board,hard wood, or other suitable material.
I am aware that toy puzzles have been made consisting of strips imprinted on one or both sides with fragmentary pictures and with appropriate letters; but I have no knowledge of the preexisteuce of such strips having letters to spell out the name of the picture arranged as in my present invention, whereby a multitude of diverse objects may be brought into view, both pictorially and verbally,by simple reversal of individual strips.
I claim as new and of my invention-d 1. A spelling toy or puzzle consisting of a dissected picture and a dissected word designating some object in the picture, and one or more substitute sections, the introduction of which produces a new word or words'designating some other object or objects in the picture, substantially as set forth.
2. A spelling toy or puzzle consisting of a dissected picture, a dissected word designating some object in the picture, substitute sections of the picture', and substitute sections of the word, the dissected picture and the dissected word being placed on aseries of strips, and the substitute sections of the picture and the substitute sections ofthe word being placed on the other sid-es of the strips, substantially as set forth.
In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.
VALTER STRANDERS. Attest:
