die it known that l, LYNN B. li/lAT'lfEsON, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Pitts such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the some, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in flying toys of the class set forth in Patents llos. 693,327 and 712,946 and dated Februcry 11, 1902, and November 4, 190b, respectively.

hily present device conteins certain novel features of construction over the construc tions disclosed in the said patents, all of which will be fully understood by .roferenceto the accompanying drawings, in which is illus tratcd an embodin'lcnt thereof.

in the drawings, Figure l is a side view of a flying toy equipped with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a top or plon view of the same. 3 is a fragmentary section of the device, showing the ports on a larger scale. Fig. 4i is a perspective view in detail of the ferrule. Fig. 5 is a section taken on. the line 5 5, Fig. 3.

The some reference characters indicate the same parts in all the views.

Let the numeral 5 designate a ferrule pro-- vided near one extremity with a collar 5. The ferrule also has e'short projecting part 7, extending beyond the collar in one direction. On the opposite side of the collar the ferrule is provided with. on interiorly-projecting tongue 8, adopted. to enter the stem 9 when the latter is inserted in the ferrule. Myimproved flying toy is provided with a pair of inclined wings 10, located on opposite sides of at central part 12, which is provided with an opening to receive the part? of the ferrule. This central part is preferably provided. with ribs 13, extending on opposite sides of the opening for strengthening purposes; The outer ends of the wings are preferably provided with elongated openings 14, whose function is to produce a. whistling sound as the device rototes in the performance of itsfunction. When. the parts are ossemblcd, the extrem ity 15 of the stone, which is pointed, extends beyond thecentrel part a sufficient distance of tho WinP'S in order to to allow the device to spin or rotate when its pointed portion 15 engages any flat surface, the ceiling or a wall. The point 15 is therefore of greater length than the vertical depth 0 permit the spinning function without the engagement of the wings with the surface which the point 611- gages.

The manner of assembling the ports is as follows: The central portion 1220f the device is passed over the port 7 of the ferrule, after which the part '7 is upset or bent downwardly upon the central part of thedevice, as shown in Fig. 3, whereby the winged portion of the device is held securely in piece. In order to further secure the device 111 place on the ferrule, its central portion on opposite sides of the Webs 13 is bent downwardly to engage the shoulder 6. The stern ll, with the sharp cued point 15, is then inserted. The tongue ll ind'ents this stern, whereby thelatter is prevented from turning independently of the device. I

in operating the device the stern below the wines is placed between the two hends'of the user, zinc asthe hands are moved in opposite directions the device is given a rotary movement, wherebyit is caused to ascend by virtue of the inclination of the vv age 10. As soon as the 1 oint 15 comes in contact with the surfece t 1e upward movement of the device ceases, but its rotary action continues, cousing it to spin like a top until it has exhausted itself.

Having thus described my invention, what i claim is- 1. in e device of the class described, the combination of e ferrule provided with a coller near one extremity, the ferrule having an interiorly-projccting tongue, a winged. part having a central epertured )ortion adopted to receive the shorter part of the ferrule and engage the said collar, the shorter part of the v ferrule being bent down on the central part of the winged portion. to hold the latter in place, and a stern having; a pointed extremity, the stem being inserted in the ferrule and its pointed extremity projecting beyond the winged portion sufficiently to allow the device to spin upon a surface, substantially as described.

2. In a toy of the class described, the combination of a winged part having a central portion provided. with. strengthening-webs extending outwardly from the opening, it ferrule having a collar engaged by the central IIO part of the Winged portion; the ferrule being u set or bent downwardly on the-winged portion to hold the latter in place, the central part of the wingedportion beingkalso bent downwardly upon the collar, and an operating-stem inserted in the ferrule for the purpose set forth.

3. In a device of the class described, the combination of a ferrule provided with a coller near one extremity, the ferrule having an interiorly-projecting tongue, a winged part having a central apertured portion adapted to receive the shorter part of the ferrule and engage the said collar, the shorter part of the ferrule being bent down on the central part 15 of the winged portion to hold the latter in place, and a stern connected with the ferrule or the purpose setforth.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses. l LYNN BQ MATTESON, Witnesses: D. F. MCKEE, WILLIAM Ronmson.
