Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.-
JOHN B. KIBLER, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
TOY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 473,556, dated April 26, 1892. Application filed January 16, 1892 Serial No. 418,253- (No model.)
0 all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN B. KIBLER, a eit-i zen of the United States, residing at Minn eapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of,which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to toys designed to make a noise by the breaking of a frangible cover of an air-chamber upon compression of the air in the chamber in imitation of the sound of an explosive, the object being the production of a cheap toy adapted to produce sounds resembling those of firearms, &c.
In illustration of the invention I have shown in the accompanying drawings, in Figure 1, a plan view of the toy, and in Fig. 2 a vertical longitudinal section of the same.
In the drawings the reference- numbers 1 and 2 designate, respectively, the upper and lower members of a pair of handles, which, with the clamping device formed thereon, are hinged attheir ends 3, their opposite ends being free and adapted to be separated. On the two members 1 and 2 are formed open rings 4: and 5, respectively, near the ends at which they are hinged. These rings fit one upon the other, and from the lower 5 is suspended a hemispherical or other suitablyshaped elastic body (5. The hollow elastic body is preferably suspended by means of a flange 7, fitting over the ring 5, on which it seats loosely; or the hollow body may be suspended in any other suitable manner, if desired. The upper ring 4: is adapted to fit on the flange or edge of the hollow body, so as to make a comparatively tight joint.
In using the device a piece of paper 8 is placed on the lower ring or on the flange of the hollow body, (the two handles being turned on their hinge to separate them for the purpose,) and the handles are then pressed together to hold the paper in place to form a tight cover for the flexible hollow body. Then by striking the'hollow body against an object the air within is compressed by the flexion of the body and the paper broken, producing a report resembling that of an explosive. The dotted lines a and. b in Fig. 2 indicate approximately the positions of the hollow body and paper resulting from the stroke.
The frame-work of the toy may be light castings of any desired pattern suitably hinged together, it being only essential that the parts may be separated for the insertion of the paper and that the paper will be held practically air-tight on the flexible hollow body.
Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. An elastic hollow body, a frangible fil m for covering it, and hinged members for clamping the film onthehollow body, for the purpose set forth.
2. In a toy, a pair of hinged rings provided with handles and a flexible hollow body carried by one of the rings, the other ring being adapted to clamp a piece of paper on the opening of the hollow body, for the purpose set forth.
JOHN B. KIBLER.
