DONALD CAMPBELL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
TOY OR GAME.
Application filed June 16, 1910.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 8, 1910.
Serial No. 567,129.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DONALD CAMPBELL, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys or Games, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to toys or games, or more particularly to a toy or game in which printed subjects may be mechanically manipulated to produce puzzling and amusing combinations.
I will first describe one form of embodiment of my invention, and will then point out the novel features in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings,--Figure 1 is a face new of a toy or game embodying my invention; 2 is a cross-section taken on the plane 22 of Fig. l; and Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing the movable members set into a different position.
My invention contemplates the employment of two relatively movable members, at least one of which is to be a rotary disk, and in the preferable form there are two overlapping disks having diflerent (fixed or movable) centers, in which case there will be a frame or support on which the members are rotatively mounted. On the two relatively movable members or disks are applied printed subjects, such for example as those seen in the drawings, each of which is split or divided so that a part of it appears on each disk, whereby each of such subjects is capable of having its two halves separated from each other.
In accordance with the above the drawings show at A the first disk, and at B the second disk, the two being relatively movable. Although the centers of the disks might be otherwise arranged, they are shown in the present embodiment as separated from each other, namely by a distance less than the sum of the radii of the two, so that one of the disks, for example B, overlaps the other atthe edge portion. The disks having separate centers, there is shown a frame C which may be termed a support, and to which the two disks A and B are pivoted.
It thus appearing what the purpose of the be clear that the same might be modified indefinitely in form. While as shown it consists only of a back piece, it might have both back and front support C is. it will pieces, or merely a front piece, in which latter case the front piece would be apertured so as to disclose the printed surfaces of the disks.
Referring now to the two disks A and B, I prefer to have them centrally pivoted, although they could be varied in this respect, and I also prefer that at least one of them shall be circular in form. The disk A is shown circular, but the disk B, while it might be the same shape, is shown as poly onal, it for convenience being provided with five sides, forming of it a pentagon.
The advantage 'of having the overlapping disk in the form of a polygon is that the division line indicated at m- 2 of each subject is a straight line rather than an arc of a circle, which better enables the subject to be centrally divided and simplifies the designing of the printed surfaces.
So far as the construction of the disks is concerned, it is obvious that their relative size can be altered without departing from the scope of the invention, and while disks to the number of two are shown, the idea is to have a plurality thereof and a plurality of separated centers of rotation.
The printed subjects appearing upon the disks are preferably pictorial illustrations, such for example as pictures of animals, flowers, or the like. In the drawings the subjects are shown as consisting of pictures of common or barnyard animals, namely the cow, cat, goat, rabbit and dog, and comprised with each printed subject as a part of it is the name of the animal printed beneath it, the name being especially chosen as a compound name susceptible of being divided. By the arrangement described, each of the subjects can be divided with respect not only to its picture but its name, and the corresponding halves of the picture and name of another animal may be substituted. In this way with disks having five subjects on each, twenty-five combinations can be ien'ce I have shown common eyelets D for that purpose, see Fig. 2.
It is clear that as shown the disks A and B are so constructed and fitted that each may freely rotate independently of the other. Ones rotation does not depend on the others position. The cows rear half and word cow may remain stationary with disk B, while disk A is rotated to cause the opposed port-ions or front halves of the puppy, bunny, etc., to justify with the cows rear half. Both the picture and the name (which latter is chosen of a double, that is compound or composite, character) are divided on rotation, and each may justify with opposed portions of picture and name of analogous subjects; and as only one complete picture can be formed at a time, it results that the complete pictures are invariably upright, which manifestly is an advantage as the support has then never to be altered in position.
Having described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A toy or game comprising a pair of overlapping disks rotating about separated centers with a plurality of pictorial subjects applied thereto partly on each disk.
2. A toy or game comprising a pair of overlapping disks rotating about separated l centers with a plurality of pictorial subjects applied thereto partly on each disk, the division of the several subjects being such that each subject portion will justify with the opposed portion of any other subject.
3, A toy or game comprising a pair of overlapping disks rotating about separated centerswith a plurality of pictorial subjects applied thereto partly on each disk, the upper disk being polygonal.
4. As an article of manufacture, a toy or game comprising in combination a support to which disks are rotatively connected, a
rotating disk connected to said support, a.
second rotating disk connected at a different point on said support so as to overlap the first disk at its edge, and a plurality of subjects printed or applied to said disks, each subject being partly on the first, partly on the second disk.
5. As an article of manufacture, a toy or game comprising in combination a support to which disks are rotatively connected, a
' rotating disk connected to said support, a
second rotating disk connected at a difierent point on said support so as to overlap the first disk at its edge, and a plurality of sub} jects printed or applied to said disks, each subject being partly on the first, partly on the second disk; said second disk being polygonal so that the subject division lines are straight.
6, As an article of manufacture, a toy or game comprising in combination a support to which disks are rotatively connected, a rotating disk connected to said support, a second rotating disk connected at a different point on said support so as to overlap the first disk at its edge, and a plurality of pictorial subjects printed or applied to said disks, each subject being partly on the first, partly 011 the second disk; said second disk being polygonal so that the subject division lines are straight.
7. As an article of manufacture, a toy or game comprising in combination a support to which disks are rotatively connected, a rotating disk connected to said support, a second rotating disk connected at a different point on said support so as to overlap the first disk at its edge, and a plurality of subjects printed or applied to said disks, each subject being partly on the first, partly on the second disk; and each subject consisting of the picture of an object, as an animal, in connection with the compound or. double name thereof so arranged that picture and name are both divided and each portion capable of being justified with opposed portions of other analogous subjects.
8. A toy or game comprising a pair of I adjacent disks rotating about separated centers with a plurality of pictorial subjects applied thereto partly on each disk, said disks being so constructed and fitted that each may freely rotate independently of the other. 7 V
9. A toy or game comprising a pair of adj acent disks rotating about separated centers with a plurality of pictorial subjects applied thereto partly on each disk, said disks being so constructed and fitted that each may freely rotate independently of the other, and said subjects being of such character and location that on rotating one or both disks, one portion of any of said subjects may be justified with the opposed portion of any of said subjects.
Inwitness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, this 15th day of June, 1910.
DONALD CAMPBELL.
