SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 772,492, dated October 18, 1904:. Application filed Apri19,l904. Serial No. 202,393. lNomodel.)
1'0 aZZ whom it m y concern:
reference marked thereon, whichform a part of this specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in toys; and the object of the invention is to produce a figure toy mountedupon an aerial cycle and so arranged that it will travel upon a cord fastened at one end to a fixed object and having a weight'adapted to hold the wheel upon the cord. 7
The invention consists, further, in various details of construction and combinationsand arrangements of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of'my improved figure toy shown as resting upon a cord, and Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the toy.
Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a grooved wheel having a crank-shaftB mounted therein, and O designates a wire which is bent upon itself, forming two pieces, which are turned toform eyes E, in whichthe crank-shaft has bearing. Said wires form the. head of the cycle, and the upper portions are twisted together, as at F, and the ends outwardly bent, forming handle-bars G, to which the arms K, 7 pivoted to the [body K, are fastened.
N designates bars connected at their lower ends to the shaft B, and their upper ends are fastened to a pin N, passing through the body of the figure K, and the legs M of the figure are pivoted to the body, and the feet have pivotal connection at Q, with the cranks of said shaft and so arranged that as the wheel rotates the legs will be given the natural movement of the legs of an operator driving a shaft Y may be held in the hand of an operator, and
by the provision of the weight the figure toy will be caused to assume by gravity the lowest position upon the cord. As one end of the cord is raised the toy will be caused by gravity to run down the incline to the lowest portion thereof, and by raising and lowering one end of the cord the toy may be caused to go back and forth thereon.
While I have shown a particular detailed construction of apparatus embodying the features of my invention, it will be understood that I. may make alterations, if desired, in the construction of the same without in any way departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A figure toy comprising a cycle-frame made of a single piece of wire which is bent to form eyes E, E, acrank-shaft journaled in said eyes, a figure having feet pivotally connected to the cranks of said shaft, and arms connected to the ends of the wire forming the handles of the cycle, the wire forming the lower portion of the frame twisted together and bent to form an eye, and a weight engaging the latterfa grooved Wheel fixed to said shaft, and a cord upon which the same is mounted, as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALFRED ATKINSON.
