BOOMERANG-THROWER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 2, 1907.
Application filed December 4, 1905. Serial No. 290,324.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, GEORGE E. SMITH and DANIEL E. BRINSMADE, citlzens of the United States, residing at Derby, in the' county of New Haven, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boomerang-Throwers; and we 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 has relation to the art of boomerang-throwing.
It is the object of the invention to produce a toy in the form of a boomerang and boomerang-gun, whereby boomerang-throwing on a small scale may be practiced in the house as a childs toy, that will show the real principles of the art.
The invention consists of a miniature or small boomerang made from material and in a form that will be assuredly harmless in childs play in combination with a so-called gun, employing a rubber band as the pro pelling force, that may be set and fired, throwing the boomerang in true fashion, so that it will go five or ten feet from the operator and return again to the point of starting.
Reference is to be had to the annexed drawing, in which there is shown a plan view of the invention complete, showing the rub her band of the gun set.
In the drawing, A designates a iece of material with a flat surface suitable for holding or supporting the boomerang B and for having the two ends of a rubber band C caught thereon and held in stretched posi- 'tion.
In the present case the boomerang B will be made in the form of devices of that char acter, so that when it is thrown or fired it will perform the functions of a boomerang that is, go to an appreciable distance and return again to the point or substantially the place from which it started. It may be supported in place on the gun by simply laying it thereon, or any kin of projections suitable for the purpose may be made for keep ing it in place in case the gun is moved out of level position. Its place will be such that the smaller end may just project over the edge of the gun.
The rubber band C will be secured at a proper point on the gun, as at E, so that it may be stretched beyond the place for the boomerang and caught over the rear edge F, as shown. When it is desired to fire the gun, the band will be slipped off from the rear edge F, when it will fly forward along the adjacent side, striking the projecting point of the boomerang, throwing it forward five or ten feet, when it will return again to the place from which it started.
As the rubber band will be fastened at one end, it will not become lost, andthe game may be played with much amusement for a long time and without any'expense beyond the cost of the toy itself.
The gun may be made of pasteboard, celluloid, or other suitable material and be as ornamental as desired. It is proposed to provide it with a handle G, which may be a plain extension or be ornamented in any way desired.
By the toy much amusement without possible harm is provided for children, while they will at the same time be tau ht the principles of boomerang throwing an flight.
What is claimed is A boomerang-gun consisting of a piece of suitable material having a fiat top to support the boomerang, and a band of elastic material secured at one end to the fiat top for ward of the position for the boomerang and adapted to have its bi ht can ht over the rear edge of the gun an to be s ipped off at, and to fly forward along, the adjacent side edge of the gun.
In testimony whereof we affix oursignatures in presence of two witnesses.
