COIN-OPERATED MECHANICAL TOY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 690,661, dated'J'anua'ry 7, 1902.
Application led May 2l, 1901.
To all zzz/"1,0m it mag/concern:
Be it known that I, .FRANK PARrsoH, vof Dorchester, county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Mechanical FignreToys, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of the speciiication, in which Figure l is a front elevation of the operat-v .lng mechanism. Fig. 2 represents an end view of the same, located in one compartment of alcase and a section of the toy iigures located in another compartment, the scale being double that of Fig. l; Fig. 3, the mechanism for liberating the spring-power of a train of clockwork, the scale being four times that of Fig. l; Fig. 4, the figures to be exhibited and -set in motion on a larger scale.
This invention relatesv to that class of mechanical toys designated (under the present classification of patentable inventions) as exhibitors, in which miniature figures are operatedby clockwork which sets in motion said figures, thus affording a source of amusement at a triliing cost within the reach of all; and my invention consists in the combination, with a clockwork, a crank-shaft, and a releasing and arresting mechanism, of the miniatureV igures of a Wood-Sawyer and a wood-splitter, the saw and ax being given a natural reciprocating motion, the said toy being inclosed within a case, the several features being hereinafter fully described and speciiically claimed. f
In the said drawings, A represents a case (livided by a partition a into two compartments BC, in one, B,of which are located a train of clockwork D and a tube G, said tube projecting up through the top of the case and being accessible from the outside at its open end b.V Into the slit c on the inner side of the tube projects the lower or horizontal branch cl of ashort arm e, secured at its top to a pivoted post l.' To the same post is also secured the upper end of a long arm r, the lower end of which is bent to form ahook h, which in its normal position hangs down into the path of a pin m on the face of the middle gear-wheel H as it is revolved by the power of the 'spiral spring I. When a penny :is dropped down the slot onto the end of the short arm e, it is sean No. 61,301. (No model.)
depressed, which causes the pivoted posti to make a partial revolution in the direction of the arrow s, Figs. l and 3, elevating the hook from contact with the pin-m, thus allowing the spring I to assert itself and set the train in motion.
Onone end of the shaft of the upper gearwheel L is a crank p, which projects through the partition a and has secured thereto the lower end of the gure of a saw M, connected with and apparently'graspcd at its upper end by the pivoted arms r of the gure of the Sawyer N, the crank thus. causing the sawto have a natural reciprocating motion similar to that given by a living person in sawing wood.
Risa figure representing a Wood-splitter having a pivoted arm t, holding an ax S.
`The arm is pivoted iovthe figure of the woodchopper at c, and to a projection w, extending out from the elbow, is secured one end of a rod, wire, or cord zr, (but preferably a rigid connectiom) the other end of which is secured to the crank p, which gives motion to the pivoted arm t and raises the ax, as seen in Fig. 4. When the crank rotates into the position shown at y, the connection a: ceases to elevate the arm and the ax is caused to descend, its reciprocating movement being similar to .that given byla living person.
I am aware of the grant of British Patent No. 14,561, to Pierce, ,dated September 17, 1889, for coin-operated toy, in which is described and shownthe figures of two fighting `cocks which are made to go through aggressive movements by mechanism diering in construction from myv operating mechanism, among which differences are cords secured to opposite ends of a common arm, notchedl disks, a sliding yoke, tubular' frame, and toothed wheel meshing into a toothed rack.
' I do not employ said features in the construction of my Within-described mechanical toy, and therefore lay no claim thereto.
I claim.-
l. In a mechanical figure toy, the combination with a crank-shaft and clockwork for revolving the same, of the figure of a woodsawyer having a pivoted arm and a saw grasped by the hands, the figure of a woodchopper having a pivoted arm and an ax grasped by one hand, a connecting-rod ex- ICO tending between the crank-shaft'and the Wood-choppers said arm, and an inciosng case subdivided into two compartments, in one of which is located the moving mechanism and in the other, the said igures, all constructed and arranged to operate substantially as described.
2. In a gure toy apparatus, the combination of a clock mechanism, a crank -shaft operated thereby, a figure having pivoted arms, a saw connected at one end to the crankshaft and at the other to the arms ot' the said gnre, another figure having one arm pivoted at the elbow, a projection extending from the bent arm on the side of its pivot which is opposite to the hand, and a connection between the said projection and the crankshaft, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto sign my name, in presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 11th day of May, 1901.
FRANK PARTSCIAI.
