FIGURE TOY.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J 11116 21, 1910.

Application filed February 25, 1910.

Serial No. 545,965.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIEGMUND M. SIEGEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Figure Toys; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de scription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in toy dogs and comprises a covering adapted to imitate the head and part of the body and legs of a dog and designed to fit over the hand of a person and so arranged that the fingers of a person may cause the head, jaw and legs to move in imitation of the movements of a dog.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the device as applied to the hand of a person, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the head showing the manner of engagement of the hand of an operator therewith.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a covering of fur adapted to imitate the fur of a dog and provided with a head B with a pivotal lower jaw C hinged at C to the skull of the head. An opening leads through the neck and through which the finger D of a person may be inserted. Said jaw is normally held closed by means of a spring E fastened at E to the rear wall of the skull while its forward end is secured to a strip F which is secured to the upper surface of the jaw and against which strip the end of the finger is adapted to bear and, by pressure being applied to said strip by the finger, the jaw may be made to open in the manner shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

H designates the legs of the dog and in which the fingers of the hand of the operator may be inserted so that, by opening and closing the fingers, movements may be imparted to said legs and also to the head and jaw to give the appearance of the movements of the dog.

The toy in use is applied to the hand of a person, preferably using a muff, which mulf is designed to cover the arm and wrist of the person on whose hand the covering is held and thus give the appearance of a pet dog held within the muff with a portion of its body projecting out from one end thereof. The covering will also serve to protect the hand, as all of the parts of the latter will be covered.

What I claim to be new is 1. A figure toy comprising a skull having a jaw pivotally connected therewith, the neck of said skull provided with a finger opening, a strip fastened to the upper surface of said jaw and adapted to form a stop for the end of a finger inserted through said opening, and a spring connecting said strip with the skull.

2. A figure toy comprising a skull having a jaw pivotally connected therewith, the neck of said skull provided with a finger opening, a strip fastened to the upper surface of said jaw and having an end disposed at an angle to the latter and projecting toward the upper portion of the skull and adapted to form a stop to the end of a finger inserted through said opening, a coiled spring fastened at one end to said strip above the jaw and its other end to the rear portion of the skull and serving to normally hold the jaw closed.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

SIEGMUND M. SIEGEL.
