Letters .Potent No. 70,8750, dated November 12, 1867.
AUTOMATIC TIGHTfROPE DANGER.

Be it kn'own that I, WILLIAM HUMANS, of Boston, inthe county of' Suffolk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new toy, which I term an Automatic Tight-Rope Walker, 'of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing, making a part of this specification, and representing a human figure balanced and apparently walking upon tight rope.
The various parts of the iigure are designed to be made of sheet metal or other suitable thin material, and
painted or colored to suit the taste or fancy. The arms are pivdtcd or hung to the shoulders, so as to allow themto he raised, and the handshold a stick or rod to give the appearance of balancing the body.4 Thel upper parts of the legs are pivote-d to the'body of the'igure, and thc legs are jointed at the knees so as to allow a natural motion to both parts of the legs. Attached to the lower part ot' the body is a rod, a, extending downward a short distance to a frame, b, and within this frame is journallcd a wheel or pulley, e. The said wheel or pulley is grooved on its periphery so as to run upon a cord, r2, as shown. The journal or axis of the wheel or pulley e projects on each side, and to each projection is. attached one end of a crank, d. The other end of the crank is pivoted to the lower part of the foot on each side. I The said cranks project from the axis of the-pulley in opposite directions on each side, so that as the pulley rotates, one foot and leg will be elevated as the other is lowered, thus giving the figure the appearance of walking. The frame b extends below and encompasses the rope or cord on which the `wheel or pulley runs, and has attached to its lower end a rod,e, extending downward, and provided with a weight,f, which serves as a counter-balance te the figure above, to keep the latter in an upright position, and balanced upon the cord. One end of the cord which sustains the figure is designed-to be attached to a hook or other fixture, and the other end being held by the hand may be raised or lowered to incline" the cord in either direction, so that the pulley will run down the incline from 'one end to the other, the feet and legs being in motion at the same time. To the upper part of the frame b may be hinged a curved arm or'ldetont, f, extending to the front or rear, or both, and to the lower'end of the said arm is attached a string, g, which extends upward and is attached toone of the arms at the shoulder in such a manner that when the string is pulled downward the arm will rise, so that as the'igure moves forward or back on the line, and the free end of the armf strikes against an object, the said arm will be' slightly depressed, and thus draw down the cord or string g, and cause the arms to rise and lift the pole that is carried in the hands of the ligure. The same motion may be imparted tothe arms of the gure by means of a rod or other connection directly from the armor crank d, if desirable.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim. as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A. jointed figure, balanced, as shown, in combination with a pulley-wheel, c, provided with cranks or arms d, through which motion isimparted to the legs of the figure as the pulley passes over a cord, on which it is supported, substantially as described.
2. I claim the combination of the hinged arm or dctent e. and cord g, or its equivalent, attached to the'arm of the gure, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. f
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
