G. SCHW ABE. GONTRIVANOE FOR SETTING TRAVELING OBJEGTS IN MOTION. No. 495,273. Patented Apr. 11,1893.
' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GUSTAV SOHWABE, OF BERLIN, GERMANY.
CONTRIVANCE FOR SETTING TRAVELING OBJECTS IN MOTION.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 495,273, dated April 11, 1893.
Application filed July 1, 1892. SerialNo. 438.717. (No model.) i
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GUSTAV SOHWABE, a subject of the King of Prussia, residing at Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gontrivances for Setting Traveling Objects in Motion, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to toys for children, which are pulled along the floor by means of a string, and which represent ships, horses and other objects of nature, the object of my invention being to provide a toy which will imitate the natural motions of the animals or things which they represent,instead of like those now in use, being capable merely of moving over the floor in a direction parallel therewith.
In the accompanying drawing, in which like letters of referenceiudicate similar parts, the figure is a side view of my invention applied to a toy ship so as to give to the said toy the motions of a vessel sailing on the water.
My invention is constructed and operated substantially as follows:
When the device is to be used as shown in the figure, I fasten a ship or similar article A to a base piece B, provided with axles a, b, on which revolve the elliptically shaped wheels 0 and D, connected together by a pitman E. One of these wheels (in the drawing, the hinder one) is in an upright position, at the same time that the other is in a fiat position, the pitman serving to keep each wheel in a position opposite to that of the other.. WVhen the string F, is pulled and the toy moves along the floor, the friction of the upright nately rise and fall, thus giving to the ship 7 or otherobject the rolling movements of a vessel in motion. Since at each half revolution the upright and flat positions of the wheels are reversed, it is apparent that the toy is not operated, as above described, by the wheel D alone, but by each one alternately, as it reaches the upright position.
This mechanism may also be applied where any other figure than that of a ship is used, so I therefore do not confine myself to the use of any particular toy or object to be imitated.
Having thus describd my invention, what I claim is A toy consisting of a figure representing the object imitated, mounted on a base piece provided with axles on which revolve elliptical or cam-shaped wheels, connected together by a pitman, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, in presence of two witnesses, this 27th day of April, 1892.
GUSTAV SCHWABE.
