FIGURE TOY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 596,385, dated. December 28, 1897. Application filed September '7, 1897. Serial No. 650,815. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM F. SIMON, of
West I-Ioboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved-Toy, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to an improved toy or ornament; and it consists of an imitation of a reptile, the imitation shown being that of a snake.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure l is a view of the device as a whole. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view showing the manner of attaching the head to the body of the toy, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional View showing the manner of crimping the metal strip constituting the body of the toy.
The body A of the snake is formed from a thin narrow strip of metal which is crimped and then spirally coiled, the size of the coils being proportioned to the diameter of the body of the snake. Within the coils at one end is inserted a head B, which may be made of any suitable material. This head is secured in the coils by tightly pressing the same upon the head. The appearance of the completed toy issimilar to that shown in Fig. 1. The crimping of the metal strip creates a peculiar appearance of light and shade, this appearance being indicated in Fig. 1 by the light and dark spots upon the strip, the light spots representing the parts which reflect the light toward the eye of the observer and the dark spots representing that part which refleets the light away from the eye of the observer. The result of this construction is a peculiar one, the light and shade constantly changing as the toy is moved.
The metal used may be anything which is suitable for the purpose, and the color may be the natural color of the metal or any artificially-produced color or shade. These toys can thus be made in numerous shades and colors more or less correctly representing the natural colors of snakes. may be of one color or have the color varied in different parts thereof. is very lifelike and pleasing. The cross-section, Fig. 3, shows the crimping C more in detail.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A toy or ornament made in the semblance of a reptile, having its body formed of a thin metal strip spirally coiled, said strip being crimped and presenting thereby a contrast of light and shade, substantially as described.
WILLIAM F. SIMON.
