UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE FREDERICK LUTTIOKE, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.
MECHANISM FOR OPERATING DANCING, ACROBATIC, AND OTHER TOY FIGURES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 410,907, dated September 10, 1889.
Application filed January 17, 1889. Serial No. 296,596. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE FREDERICK LUTTICKE, a subject of. the Queen of Great Britain, residing at London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improve ures; and it consists, essentially, in a novel application of a fly-wheel or its equivalent for this purpose; 4
In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, Figure l is a front elevation, and Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section, illustrating the application of a flywheel for operating a dancing figure and an acrobat. Fig.3 is a similar view to Fig. 2, showing a modified arrangement of the parts for operating a dancing figure.
Similar letters in all the figures indicate similar parts.
a is the fiy-wheel, of suitable weight, which is mounted in a frame or case b and provided with a button 0 for allowing it to be rotated by the finger and thumb; or a string can be used for this purpose, wound upon the spindle d of the fly-wheel. On the spindle d is mounted a triangular piece 6 for giving a vibrating motion to the platform or plate f, hinged at g and provided with a stop h to limit its upward motion.
1' is the dancing figure, attached to a spring j, fixed to the upright 70, adjustably attached to the case b, so that its height can be regulated by means of the set-screw Z. If it be required to also operate an acrobatic or similar figure at a slow rate of speed, I mount the figure m upon a spindle 41, carrying a disk or wheel 0, (or disks or wheels,) actuated by friction with the spindle d of the fiy-wheel a.
It is obvious that motion can also be communicated from the fly-wheel spindle d to another figure or figures by means of a grooved wheel 12 and cord q, or by other suitable gear- 111g.
The arrangement shown in Fig. 3 is the same as that for operating the dancing figure in Figs. 1 and 2, except that the dancing figure 7, is attached to the vibrating plate f, which is hinged to a bracket 7*.
Instead of the triangular piece c for giving the vibrating motion to the plate j, it will be obvious that a pin or pins or an eccentric plate fixed to the spindle cl could be employed for this purpose.
A crank or its equivalent can be placed on the spindle n to raise or actuate a figure or portions of a figure or figures by means of a rod or rods connected thereto.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is 1. A mechanical toy having, in combination, the following elements, namely: a shaft carryin g thereon both a fly-wheel and a cam-piece adapted to impart an intermittent action to a plate or platform, a plate resting on such piece and vibrated by it, and a dancing figure upheld by means of a spring and operated by the cam-piece acting on said plate, all substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, in a mechanical toy, of a shaft carrying a fiy-wheel, a triangular piece or its described equivalent on said shaft, a hinged platform vibrated by such piece, an adjustable springsupport, and a dancing figure suspended on such spring above said platform, all substantially as set forth.
GEORGE FREDERICK LUTTICKE.
