SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 717,295, dated December 30, 1902.

Application filed May 21, 1902. Serial No. 108,346. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. SOULEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Winchester, in the county of Middlesex and State 5 of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to toys; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawing the figure is a perspective view of the toy.

A is a base-plate, and 12 represents three rods which project upwardly from the baseplate and support a disk B.

C is a vertical shaft which is journaled in the base A and in the disk B.

D is a disk which is mounted on the upper end portion of the shaft 0 and which rests on the disk B.

E represents brackets secured to the disk D. A shaft e is journaled horizontally in the brackets E, and F is a wind-wheel secured on one end of the shaft e. A steering-vane f is secured at the other end of the shaft 6 to the 0 bracket which supports that end of the said shaft.

D is a thrust-plate secured to the disk D behind the wind-wheel and overlapping the disk B, so as to relieve the shaft 0 of excessive pressure.

G is the figure of a man secured to the base A and provided with jointed arms g. H is a saw attached to the hands of the said figure. A support and guide hfor the saw is provided, and the guide is formed to represent a portion of a log of wood with a notch in it for the, blade of the saw to slide in.

7', secured to the base A.

K K aretoothed wheels which connect the shaft 6 with the shaftG, and k k are toothed wheels which connect the shaft 0 with the shaft J. A crank-plate m is secured on one end of the shaft J, and n is a connecting-rod pivoted to the crank-plate and to the front end of the saw.

When the wind-wheel is revolved, the toy figure is set in motion in an interesting manner, and the wind-wheel is turned around to face the wind by the steering-vane, so that 5 5 the toy figure always works in the same direction.

What I claim is In a toy, the combination, with a base-plate, converging rods projecting upwardly from the base-plate, and a disk B secured to the upper ends of the said rods; of a vertical Ishaft C journaled in the said base-plate and disk, a disk D pivoted on the said shaft and resting on the disk B, brackets secured to the disk D, a horizontal shaft 6 journaled in the said brackets, a wind-wheel secured on the shaft 6, toothed wheels connecting the shafts e and (3, a toy figure supported from the baseplate and provided with articulated arms, a 7c toy saw connected to the said arms, a block for guiding the blade of the said saw, a horizontal shaft J supported from the base-plate, toothed wheels connecting the shafts J and C, a crank-plate secured on the shaft J, and a connecting-rod between the said crank-plate and saw, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM 'r. SOULEE.
