Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
REUBEN SHALER, OF MADISON, CONNECTICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN HOOP-TOYS.-
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 43,799, dated August 9, 1864.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, REUBEN SHALER, of Madison, in the county ot' New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Hoop-Toys, and [do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ot' the same when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings andthe letters of reference marked thereon, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent in- Figore l, a side view, and in Fig. 2 a top vlew.
My invention relates to an improvement in toys, commonly called hoop toys7-that is, such'as are hung within a hoopusually animals or equestrian gures-so that when the hoop revolves the toy swings therein, it being hung so that its own gravity retains it in an upright position; and my invention consists in the attachment and adjustment of a spiral spring or its equivalent so that when the hoop is made to revolve each spoke will act upon said spring to cause the toy to tilt, and the reaction ofthe spring` will tilt the toy in the opposite direction, so that while the hoop is revolving the toy has the appearance of galloping.
To more fully illustrate and explain my in vention, in the drawings, A is a metallic hoop having four spokes, B, more or less, running to and `fixed in a center hub, a. Through the said hub an axle, c, passes, which said axle also passes through a toy,C. The said axle is hung at its extremities in rods D, so as to revolve freely therein. The said rods extend bacl, and may be united to form a handle by which to trundle the hoop. Upon one ot' the rods will project through far enough to hit thespokes, as seen in Fig. 2. When the hoop revolves in the direction of the arrows, a spoke will strike the end of the spring and raise said end so as to pass it. This operation will tilt' the toy to about the position in red, Fig. 1. Vthen the spoke leaves the end of the spring', the reaction will tilt the toy in the opposite direction as denoted in blue, and so, on each action and reaction of the spring continually tilting the toy. It' the hoop be turned in the opposite direction, the tilting will be reversed, but the effect is the same in either case.
What I claim as of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of a spring or its equivalent with hooptoys, when arranged so as to give to the toy a tilting motion from the revolving hoop, substantially as specified.
