LOUIS V. ARONSON, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
SPAR/KING TOY.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 11, 1922.
Application filed May 27, 1921. Serial No. 473,135.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, Louis V. ARoNsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sparking Toys, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to toys, and has as an object the provision of a toy having the form of a head or animals face, and means to make the eyes glow in the dark without the provision of any lamp utilizing flame or an electric light.
An illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective View;
Fig. 2 is a side View, partly in section to show the interior mechanism;
Fig. 3 is a front view, partly in section on line 3, 3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view showing the attachment of ears;
Fig. 5 is a front View of a transparent element for an eye;
Fig. 6 is a section on line 6, 6 of Fig. 2 and Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a plate used to hold the head upon the handle.
The animals head 10, chosen for purposes of illustration, is formed in semblance of a cats head having the eyes 11 and ears 12. To produce the illumination upon the interior of the head a sparking device 13 of known form is utilized. As shown, the sparking device comprises handles having a coil spring 14 integral therewith tending to keep the opposite ends of the handles spread apart. A spring coil 15 in the portion 16 of the handle is provided to give flexibility to this element. The portion 17 of the handle is bent at right angles as at 18, again at right angles as at 19, so as to extend as at 20, towards the other element 16. The portion 20 is again bent, as at 21, to provide the post 22, which acts as a stop to prevent undue separation of the ends of the elements 16 and 17.
The end of the element 16 isbent to provide the portion 23 which carries upon its end a piece of pyrophoric metal 24: which bears upon a roughened filelike piece of metal 25. The element 25 is secured in place by being seated in notches 26, 27, adjacent the angles 19 and 21. hen the portions 16 and 17 of the handle 13 are grasped by the hand of the user and pressed suddenly together the friction of the pyrophoric metal 24 upon the element 25 will produce sparks in the well known manner.
To secure the animals head upon the sparking device above described a plate 28 is passed under the portion 20 and above element 25, being tightly wedged therebetween. The plate 28 is turned upwardly to provide the lip 29, which is soldered to the animals head, as at 30, Fig. 2.
The animals head is made of opaque material, and to make the eyes transparent openlngs, as 31, are formed in the opaque material and transparent or translucent elements 32 are fastened over said openings. A convenient manner of fastening the elements 32 in place is shown in the drawing, in which the elements are shown wider in a vertical direction than the openings, so as to lap over the margin of the openings. At each end of the openings slots 33 are formed and tabs 34 are passed through the slots and clinched upon the interior as at 35. Preferably an opening is formed in the material 32 and other translucent or transparent material of a different color, as 36, superposed thereon, to give a life-like appearance to the eyes.
To apply the ears 12 to the head, so that they may have a slight movement they are shown as provided with tabs 37, which are pressed through slots 38 in the head and clinched upon the interior. The fit of the tabs in the slots is made loose and the clinch is not made tightly against the material of the head, so that when the toy is moved the ears may have a slight flopping action.
Minor changes may be made in the physical embodiment of the invention, as the provision of other transparent portions of the animals head, and the semblance of the head or face only of different animals or of a doll, or from that indicated, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
I claim:
1. A toy comprising the semblance of a portion of a living being having elements thereof simulating eyes adapted to permit light to pass therethrough, a pyrophoric element mounted within said portion, means to cause friction of said pyrophoric element to produce sparks whereby the light passing elements shall be illuminated.
2. A toy comprising the semblance of a portion of a living being having elements thereof simulating eyes adapted to permit a pyrophoric device mounted Within said 10 light to pass therethrough, a pyrophoric element mounted within said portion, a compressible handle portion adapted upon com- 5 pression to cause friction of said pyrophoric element toproduce sparks whereby the light passing elements shall be illuminated.
3. A toy comprising a portion of a head having translucent elements simulating eyes,
head whereby the translucent elements may be illuminated, and movable ears pivoted on said head and adapted to be afiected by movements incident to actuation of said device. V e
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature. r
LOUIS V. ARQNSON.
