TOY FISHING GAME.
Application filed July 16, 1921. Serial No. 185,215.
2" alt whom it may concern.
Be it known that l, Jenn M. S. ANDnnsoN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Fishing Games, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a novel toy, more particularly to a unique amusement device adapted to the purpose of supplying a means for playing an interesting fishing game.
The object of the invention is to pro vide a toy or device of the present character which will be attractive, to children more especially, and will be designed to furnish good sport to participants in the fishing game.
With the above as well as in view which will appear as tion proceeds, the device of the invention consists essentially of a casing in which one or more disks or the like are rotatably located, of a plurality of carriers upon said disks and extending beyond the top of said casing, of means included in the top of said casing for imparting oscillatory movements to said carriers, and of suitable means for rotating said disks, whereby said oscillatory movements will beimparted to said carriers and consequently to toy objects carried thereby as the same move forwardly during the rotation of said disk or disks, all as will be fully set forth.
In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification Fig. 1 is a top plan view of ins device;
Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows; and
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary detail perspective view of a portion of one of the disks and carrier mounted thereon to be capable of oscillatory movements and illustrating the manner in whichthe toy fish are removably mounted upon the carriers.
Referring to the drawing, denotes the lower base of a preferably drum-shaped casing, 11 the top thereof, and 12 the cylindrical side wall connecting the base and top, the marginal edges being secured together in any preferred manner, and the centers being spaced apart by a supporting post 13.
The disks hereinbefore mentioned, are
other objects the toy fishthe specificapreferably circular and are mounted in spaced relation from each other upon said post 13 and located within said rotatably casing. I preferably utilize two of said disks, denoted by 1 1- and 15 respectively, and make provision whereby they may be rotated in opposite directions upon said post, one of said disks, denoted by 1 1-, being of greater diameter than the other for a purpose to become obvious.
As will be clear from Fig. 2 of the drawing, the post is provided approximately at its middle portion, with an enlargement 16 upon which is fixed a stationary plate 17 arranged to be located between and parallel with the disks 14 and 15. Abushing 18 mounted upon the post 13 supports the hub 19 of the disk let rotatable upon the post 13, A gear 21 is secured to the under side of this disk and a similar gear is secured to the opposite or top side and has its upper end located closely adjacent the enlargement l6. Bearings 22 fixed upon the member 17 are for the purpose of supporting the shaft 23 carrying an idle pinion 23 which extends both above and below said. member 17 to mesh with the gears 20 and with a gear 24 fixed to a hub 25 and to the disk 15, said bearing member 25 being ro tatably mounted upon the post 13 and rest ing upon the enlargement 16, and said member 17 being provided with clearance, as will be understood, for said idler 23, 26 denotes a bushing upon said post and between the top 11 of the casing and the plate 15.
It will be evident that when the driving shaft 28 is actuated the disks let and 15 will be caused to rotate in opposite directions.
The top 11 is provided with continuous. irregular slots, denoted by 31 and 32, pref erably curvilinear in general outline about as shown, and suitable bridges 33 spanning the slots are for the essential purpose of holding all the parts of the top in align-- ment. Incidentally, said bridges are constructed to appeal to the aesthetic sense and thus enhance the attractiveness of the device.
Bushings 34- mounted at or adjacent to the marginal edges of the disks it and l5 freely receive the lower portions 35 of the carriers 36 which extend through the slots 31 and 32, and intermediate portions of said carriers are shaped, as at 37, to slidably rest upon the disks 1&- and 15' to furnish bases 101' said carriers designed to at all times support the same in true upright position, and capable ofsliding smoothly over said disks.
A suitable number of toy fish 38, or other toy objects, also supported in vertical position, are provided with suitable sockets 39 to receive the upper ends of the carriers 36, and are further provided with holes lt) adapted to be engaged by an ordinary fish hook or bent pin (not shown). These fish may be made of any suitable material such as metal, paper, rubber or celluloid.
As the disks 14C and 15 rotate, the carriers 36 and toy fish obviously receive oscillatory movements caused by the irregular paths of the slots 81 and 32, in addition to their forward movement with said disks. These oscillatory movements of the toy fish cause them to appear to be swinnning.
In the progress of the game, the fish hook or bent pin is suspended from a cord or string of preferred length which is itself carried by a fishing pole of miniature size, the object of the game being to catch the fish while in motion and lift them from the carriers.
Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A device of the character described, comprising a casing including atop and base, a pair of supports rotatably mounted in said casing, means for rotating said supports in opposite directions, carriers supported upon said supports and extending through said. top, toys removably mounted upon said carriers, and means for imparting oscillatory movements to said carriers and toys.
'2. A device of the character described, including a top and a base, a pair of supports therebetween, means. for rotating said supports in opposite directions, carriers upon said supports and extending through said I 1 ,evaeos top, toys removably mounted upon said carriers and situated above said top, and means for imparting oscillatory movements to said toys they move forward when said supports are rotated, said means constituting continuous curvilinear slots in said topand through which said carriers pass.
3. A device of the character described, con'iprising a drunrlike casing consisting of a top and a base and a cylindrical side wall connecting the same, a post extending between said top and base and arranged at the centers thereof, a member fixed upon said post and arranged in said casing, a pair of supports rotatable upon said post, one arranged above and the other below said member, means for rotating said supports in opposite directions, carriers upon said supports and extending through said top, means included in said top for imparting oscillatory movements to said carriers when said supports are rotated, and toys removably mounted upon said carriers and arranged above said top, said toys having holes for the purpose specified.
4;. A device as specified in claim 6, wherein the means for rotating the supports in opposite directions includes a motor, a drivingshaft extending therefrom and carrying a gear, a double gear carried by one of said supports and having teeth engaging said first mentioned gear, an idle pinion supported from said member and with which other teeth of said double gear mesh, and a gear carried by the other of said supports and with which said idle pinion meshes.
5. In a device of the character described. a top having a continuous, curvilinear slot. a rotatable disk arranged therebeneath and having an upwardly extending bushing, and
an upright carrier mounted upon said disk and extending through said slot to have oscillatory movements as said disk is rotated, said carrier having its lower end inserted in said bushing and having its intermediate portion shaped downwardly from the upper end of said bushing to rest upon and slide over said disk.
