HOMER N. PARKER, OF VVINOHENDON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO THE NATIONAL NOVELTY CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK,-N. Y., A COR- PORATION OF NEW YORK.
WHEELED TOY- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 12, 1905.
To (J/lZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HOMER N. PARKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Winchendon, in the county of Worcester, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wheeled Toys, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
My invention relates to wheeled toys, and more particularly to the class of self-driven toys which are propelled by an inertia-wheel.
The particular class of inertia-wheel toys to which the present invention relates is that in which there is used an inertia-wheel, a friction-wheel, and running-wheels, the inertiawheel being intermediate the running-wheels and friction-Wheel with a chain-and-sprocket mechanism connecting the running-wheels and friction-wheel; and the object of the invention is to provide a novel arrangement of the parts and a novel means of supporting the friction-wheel whereby there is allowed a bodily movement of the friction-wheel shaft toward the inertia-wheel shaft.
The invention therefore consists in the matters hereinafter described, and referred to in the appended claims.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the running-gear of a toy embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a detailed view showing the manner of supporting the friction-wheel shaft.
In the drawings, 1 represents a frame in which are supported the axles 2 3 for the friction and inertia wheels A B, respectively, the friction-wheel axle 2 assing through an elon-, gated slot 4 on one side of said frame and carrying the sprocket-wheel 5 on the outside of said frame. The inertia-wheel shaft 3 carries the inertia-wheel B, and on the same shaft is a friction-gear O in contact with the wood friction-wheel A. The rear end of the frame 1 rests upon the axle D of the runningwheels E, one of said running-wheels being provided with a large sprocket 6, which is connected with the sprocket-wheel 5 by the 5 sprocket-chain F.
The operation of the device will be apparent. The inertia-wheel is set in motion by turning the running-Wheels either by placing same in contact with a surface or by hand or any other suitable means. No pressure on the vehicle is necessary, for it will be noted that when the running-wheels are operated to store power in the inertia-wheel the pull on the lower strand of the sprocket-chain will draw the friction-wheel into better contact with the roller on the inertia-wheel shaft, and when the inertia-wheel is driving the vehicle the pull on the upper strand will also increase the frictional contact between said roller and the friction-wheel.
I do not claim herein, broadly, the combinabodily toward the axle of the inertia-wheel, a
sprocket-wheel on the friction-wheel axle, a sprocket connected to the running-wheels, and a chain connecting the sprockets.
2. A wheeled toy, comprising a suitable I frame, running-wheels, a friction-wheel, an
inertia -wheel intermediate the running wheels and friction-wheel in operative engagement with. the friction-wheel, a shaft supporting the friction-wheel having bearings in said frame, said frame being provided with an elongated slot forming one of the bearings for said friction-wheel shaft, a sprocket connected to the runningwheels, and a sprocket on the friction-wheel shaft, and a chain connecting the sprockets substantially as described.
3. A wheeled toy, comprising a suitable frame, running-wheels, the axle of which supports one end of said frame, a friction-wheel shaft, and friction-wheel thereon, one end of which shaft has bearings in an elongated slot in the frame, an inertia-wheel shaft, having hearings in the frame, an inertia-Wheel there- In testimony whereof I affix my signature on, and a roller on said inertia-Wheel shaft in presence of tWo Witnesses. adapted to engage the friction Wheel, a
sprocket connected to the running-Wheels, a HOMER PARKER- 5 sprocket on the friction-Wheel shaft, and a Witnesses:
chain connecting the sprockets; substantially R. D. GRAIN,
as described. W. W. GOODWIN.
