Definitions

  • My invention relates to a musical buzz or whirligig, and consists in a novel construction thereof whereby the tone or note may be varied at will while the toy is in motion.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective viewV of my improved toy; Fig. 2, a side elevation of the same partly broken away; Fig. 3, a transverse section through the center; and Fig. 4, a similar section illustrating a'moditied construction.
  • toys have ⁇ ,been provided with plates independent of the rotatory body or shell, and designed tobe set ormoved to different positions relatively to the openings ofthe reed plates, whistles, or
  • -A indicates a rotary shell or body, preferablyformed of two sheet metal disks a b, stamped or spun into the desired form, and united at their meeting edges by soldering or brazing, or as is preferred, by the formation of interlocking ribs orv grooves as indicated in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • This method of uniting sheet metal bodies by spinning and indenting is common and well understood, and 'need not be further described.
  • reed plates which are covered by the reeds f, are advisably, though not necessarily, placed directly opposite or in line with the openings c of the shell or body, so that the air entering through the openings c may pass without change of direction to the openings of the reed plates.
  • C indicates a shaft or stem which passes centrally through the disks ct b and the reed plates B, as shown in Fig. 3, its polygonal form permitting a lateral movement of the shell or body upon the stem, or of the stem through the body, while preventing independent rotation ofthe body and stem.
  • Riveted or otherwise made fast upon the ends of stem C are two disks or cap plates D, keach of a diameter sufficient to completely cover and close the openings'c of the disks ot h, and so spaced with reference to the faces of the disks ct b, asto permit a longitudinal "playof the stem or rod C, of about one-eighth of and inch, though this movement may he greater or less as deemed expedient.
  • the disks or caps D are preferably made concave to give them adequate stiffness and rigidity
  • the shell or body A being loose and free to slide sidewise upon the stem or rod C, or the stem being free to slide through the shell or body, it Will be seen that by jerking the cords suddenly in one or the other direction this relative movement may be easily and quickly effected, Whether the body be in rotation or at rest, and consequently either set of reeds or Whistles may be brought into laction at will. It' the movement be such as toimperfectly uncover one or the tother set of openings, then air Will enter through both sets of openings c, and bot-h sets of reeds or whistles will be thrown into action.
  • Varying speed of the device also changes the tone, noie, or sound resulting from the combination of tones or notes produced by the device, and the result is a very pleasing musical sound, varying as the changes of position take place.
  • caps will in such case be made of proper size Y and circumt'erencewith openings for the ad mission and escape of air, sound-producing devices carried by said shell or body, adapted to be thrown into action by the passage of air from one set of openings to the other, cap plates or disks adapted to cover the openings ⁇ near the center of the body, and a connecting stem passing axially through the shell or body and carrying the cap plates, said stembei'ng of a length sufficient to permit movement of the body or shell andthe cap plates facewise.
