H0 MODEL.
INVENTOR W/TNZES:
Patented April 26, 1904.
JULIUS CHEIN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
TOY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 758,047, dated April 26, 1904. Application filed June 11, 1903. Serial No. 160,995. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JULIUs OIIEIN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in toys for children; and the object of my invention is to provide a harmless device for the amusement of children. I attain this object by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the track. Fig. 3 is a view of the tenons and sockets by means of which the runway-sections are joined together. Fig. 4 is a view of the carriage.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
From a platform a, which I support by means of legs a, a a and a or in any other desired manner, I run an inclined runway Z) to or near the level of the floor, at which point I cause the runway 6 to rise, turn, and descend in a curved line, forming a spiral loop, as shown at c, bringing the runway 6 down again to or near the level of the floor, where it rises again to a platform (Z, which I support by the legs cl, (Z (Z and d. The runway Z) may be carried across the platform (Z and down again to the level of the floor. The top of the spiral loop 0 should be below the plane of the platform a, and the platform (Z should be below the plane of the top of the spiral loop 0.
On the surface of the runway 6 I provide two parallel grooves b 6 extending the entire length of the runway Z), of such size as to receive the wheels of the car a and keep it on the runway 6. Only two wheels, 0' and c of the car 0 are shown, the other two wheels on the opposite side of the car being hidden from View by the car.
The car a, of any desired pattern, is pro vided with wheels which loosely lit the grooves b b in the surface of the runway a. Toy figures f g may be placed in the car when desired. I prefer to stamp the runway out of sheet metal; but any other material may be used, if desired.
The device is operated as follows: The car 6 is placed upon the platform a with its wheels in the grooves b V of the runway 7). The operator pushes the car 6 from the platform a onto the runway b, when the car will be drawn down the runway b by the force of gravitation, and at the spiral loop 0 the momentumof the car 0 will carry it up and around the inner side of the spiral loop 0, the momentum of the car being suflicient to overcome the attraction of gravitation. As the runway b is continued from the base of the spiral c, the car will pass up the inclined runway 6 beyond the spiral loop cto the platform d. The runway may be continued over and beyond the platform (Z, as may be desired.
For convenience in packing, carrying, and moving my device I prefer to make it in sections of convenient length, and for this purpose I form at the respective ends of the sections suitable sockets la. 2' and tenons 76 m, the tenons it an of one section being designed to fit into the sockets it 71 0f the adjoining section, and thus hold the parts together.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a toy, a runway provided on its surface with a pair of parallel grooves, and a car provided with wheels to move in such grooves, such runway being divided into sections and having tenons and sockets provided at the respective ends of the runway-sections, substantially as shown and described.
2. In a device of the character described, a runway provided on its surface with a pair of parallel tracks and a car provided with wheels engaging such tracks, such runway being di vided into sections and having tenons and sockets provided at the respective ends of the runway-sections, substantially as shown and described.
Signed at New York, in the county of New York andState of New York, this 9th day of June, A. D. 1903.
JULIUS OHEIN.
