NOVELTY DEVICE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN SCHWARTZ, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Novelty Devices, of which thefollowing is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to novelty devices, and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this class designed for use in political demonstrations, parades, and celebrations of various kinds and classes; a further object being to provide a device of the class specified particularly designed for the purpose of making noises of different character on occasions of the class above set out; and with these and other objects in view the invention consists in a device'of the class specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a View showing one form of my improved novelty device in elevation; Fig. 2 a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3a section 011 the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, and ;Figs. at and 5 views similar to Fig. 1 but showing other forms of the device.

In Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing I have shown my improvement applied to a horn, the shank or handle of which is long enough to be used as a flag stick and to be 0 carried over the shoulder, and in Fig. 4: I

have shown my improvement applied to an ordinary horn, while in Fig. 5 I have shown the said improvement applied to a walking stick.

In the practice of my invention as shown in Fig. 1 I provide a stick a, which is tubular in form and provided at one end with a mouth piece a and at the opposite end with a bell-shaped or other flaring head a and this device, constructed as described, is adapted to serve as a horn and also as a flag stick. I also provide a sheet of metal I), which is made and painted to form or represent a flag, and the corner portions of which, at one end, are provided with keepers b which encircle the stick a and are free to Specification of Letters Patent.

rotate thereon, and the sheet Z) is prevented from longitudinal movement on the stick a by the head a thereof and by a collar 0L secured thereto. f s

, That end of the sheet 6 adjacent to the stick a is provided with spaced longitudinal slots 6 forming a central spring tongue 19*, and securedto the stickla, in the form of construction shown, are two ratchet wheels or disks 0, the teeth of which operate in connection with the spring tongue 72* of the sheet 5, and by grasping the stick a and whirling the same in a circle the sheet 6 may be made to rapidly rotate around said stick, and in this operation the ratchet wheels or disks 0 or' the teeth thereof, operating in connection with the spring tongue Z1 produces a rattling vibratory noise as will be readily understood.

This device may be used as a horn in the usual manner and as a rattler by simply swinging the stick a in a circle, and in Fig. 4 I have shown my improvement applied to a hand horn of the usual form, consisting of a stick portion (Z provided at one end with a mouth piece (Z and at the opposite end with a bell-shaped head 0Z while in Fig. 5 I have shown my improvement applied to an ordinary walking stick or cane 6 having a handle 0 Other forms of this device may be made, and changes in and modifications of the construction herein described may also be made, within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A novelty device of the class described, comprising a stick member, a radially arranged sheet of metal, one end of which is rotatably connected with said stick member and provided with a spring tongue, said sheet of metal and said tongue being designed to represent a flag and a ratchet disk connected with said stick, and the teeth of which are adapted to operate in connection tongue being designed to represent a flag presence of the subscribing Witnesses this.
