ROBERT B. TATE AND JULIUS O. JOSEPH, OF MALDEN, MASSACHUSETTS.
PN EU MATIC TOY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 501,305, dated July 11, 1893.
Application filed March 19, 1892. Serial No. 425,555. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ROBERT E. TATE and JULIUS O. JOSEPH, both of Malden, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pneumatic Toys, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object to provide a pleasing toy by which the lungs may be developed, and consistsin a toy comprising a cup, an air tube connected with the cup and having a mouthpiece by which the operator can blow air into the cup, a ring supported over the central portion of the cup in a fixed relation thereto, and a ball of some light material such as cork, of less diameter than the ring, said ball being provided with light wire arms projecting in opposite directions from its periphery, the distance between the outer ends of said arms being greater than the diameter of the ring, so that the operator by blowing through the tube may raise the'ball and by taking advantage of the position of the wire arms when the same are substantially vertical, may force the arms and blow through the ring, and allow the ball to settle when the arms have to assume such position that they will rest upon the upper side of the ring.
Of the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification: Figure 1, represents a perspective View of my improved toy, the ball being shown as partly raised by a jet of air. Fig. 2, represents a sectional view, showing the ball supported by the bearing of its arms upon the upper side of the ring.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in both figures.
In the drawings: 0. represents a cup, which may be of wood or any other suitable material.
1) represents an air tube, preferably of rubber, connected with the cup, the latter having an orifice a through its bottom that constitutes a continuation of the air tube or passage. The operator by blowing into the tube b will cause a jet of air to flow outwardly from the interior of the cup.
0 represents a Wire ring which is formed on the upper end of a standard 0', the latter being'suitably fixed to the cup at one side of the orifice a. The ring cis preferably located so that the jet of air emerging from the orifice a will pass directly through the ring.
d represents a ball of cork, or other material of like specific gravity, the diameter of said ball being less than that ofthe ring a. Said ball is provided with light wire d d which projects from opposite sides of the ball and in' opposite directions, the distance between the outer ends of said arms being greater than the diameter of the ring 0.
In operating this toy, the operator places the ball in the cup, and then by blowing through the tube 1) with sufficient force creates a jet of air which will gradually raise the ball toward the ring 0, the height to which the ball rises depending, of course, upon the force of the jet of air. As the ball rises, the arms cl d assume various positions, they being at times nearly or approximately vertical, and at other times approximately horizontal. When the arms are in a vertical position, it will be seen that the ball and arms can pass readily through the ring 0; but when the arms are approximately horizontal they cannot pass through the ring because the distance between their outer ends is greater than the diameter of the ring. It will be seen, therefore, that the operator by carefully watching the arms and taking advantage of the changes in their position, can eventually force the ball and arms through the ring, and then allow the ball and arms to fall until the arms rest upon the upper side of the ring as shown in Fig. 2.
I claim- The improved pneumatic toy consisting of the cup, air tube connected with the cup, the ball having the wire arms projecting in opposite directions from its periphery, and the ring affixed to a standard supported by the cup and located over the center of the cup, the diameter of said ring being greater than that of the ball and less than the distance between the ends of the wire arms, so that the said arms may rest on the upper side of the ring and thus support the ball, as set forth.
In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 14th day of March, A. D. 1892.
