Description
To all whom it may concern:
Patented Feb. 24, 1925.
NITED. STfAfTiE-S" JEAN ATER, or JERSEY oITYfNEw 'JERs'EYI" FIGURE TOY."
Application filed May 16,-
Be it known that I, JEAN M. NA rnR, a citizen of the Swiss Federation, and a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Figure Toy, of which the followingis a description; I
My invention relates to mobile elements usually associated-with figures as for example dancing figures.
The invention has forits general object to pro-vide' an attachment embodying mobile fi ures; and actuating means therefor adapted to, be associated with "a phonograph so that the mobile elements will be actuated 1 by the turning of the recordtableand 1 record." i
A more specific object of the invention is to provide a drive means adapted to be readily connected or established in association with the figures so that the figures may be readily changed.
The nature of the invention, its distinguishing features and advantages will clearly appear as the description proceeds.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, it being understood that the drawings are merely illustrative of one example of the invention. 1
Figure 1 is a front view of figures adapted to be employed as part of myiattachment including a base therefor adapted to be detachably associated with the drive means;
Figure 2 is a rear elevation of the figures;
Figure 3 is a longitudinal vertical section through the attachment showing the same in position, the actuating means being shown in side elevation;
Figure 4 is a plan view of the attachment indicating its position in association with a record table;
Figure 5 is an enlarged rear elevation of those actuating elements mounted on the base of the figures.
In the accompanying drawing theletter A indicates the top of a phonograph cabinet; B, the record table; C, the pin centrally of the table; and D a record thereon.
In accordance with my invention I provide a support usually in the form of a flat plate stamped from sheet metal and generally of triangular form, said plate adjacent the apex having a vertical hole'11 to engage said supporting plate with the pin C. Adjacent the opposite edge of the plate 192?; Serial No. esaasc."
lO the same is provided with le gsfl2 ad-" l vantageously by bending down portions of the metal thereon, said legs being of a height to support the plate loijclear of the record D; I
be driven by thelattei'. The drive wheel 13 said shaft "having 1 also a barrel en; wheel 15 meshing YVlth,Whi:Ch flS a: toothed pinion 16 on a shaft 17 also turning-in the brackets] 1 1 Oh th t i d i ers-es19hr? s a P at p sv 2 t th O it sid o the shaft 17 The pins 20 are adapted fto be I entered in pinholes 21 in anactuating ment 22 secured at its approXi mate center to a pivot 122 to permit turning of said element about said pivot; The ends of the actuating element 22 have contact with and are adapted to rub against oscillating elements 23 mounted as by pivots 123 and pressed against by springs 24: here shown as plate springs at one side of the pivots of said elements 23, said springs serving to maintain the elements 23 in contact with the revoluble element 22. Cords 25 are secured to the elements 23 at opposite ends from the spring 24 and said springs are secured by cords 25 to mobile elements 26 suitably pivoted as at 126 to Figures 2'7 which may simulate dancing figures.
The shaft 17 is movably axially and has a spring 28 coiled about the same between the toothed pinion 16 and one of the brackets 18,
said spring tending'to maintain the shaft in position with the pins 20 of head 19 in engagement with the revolving actuating element 22. Drive connection between the pins 20 and actuating element 22 is: thus detachable by a longitudinal movement of the shaft 17 to withdraw the pins 20 from the pin holes 21.
The figures 27 are mounted on a base 29 here shown braced by an angle bracket 30 on the supporting plate 10. l Vhen the base 29'is in position on the plate 10, said base with the elements 22, 23 are disposed between the bracket30 and the head 19. By withdrawing the pins 20 from the pin holes 21 the base 29 and the figures thereon, together with the revolving actuating element 22 and the oscillating elements 23 may be removed and another base and figures with elements 22, 23 may be substituted, thereby making it possible to frequently change the figures to suit a particular record for example, and this Without disturbing the supporting plate 10 or the described drive means.
I would state in conclusion that While the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, I do not limit myself strictly to the exact details herein illustrated, since, manifestly, the same can be considerably varied Without departure from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. An attachment of the class described, including a mobile element, a base, means on said base pivotally supporting said element, actuating means on the base and operatively connected With said element, a support adapted to receive said base, said support having means to engage the pin of a phonograph table and having means to sustain said support above the table and above a record thereon, a drive means including an element adapted to be engaged and be driven by a record, and including a shaft movable axially in a horizontal plane, a fixed head on said shaft, and pins on said head disposed parallel With said shaft and adapted to detachably engage an element of said actuating means.
2. An attachment of the class described comprising a supporting plate adapted to engage the pin of a record table and having means to sustain the plate above the table and above a record thereon, a bracket on said supporting plate, a base adapted to be positioned adjacent said bracket, a figure on said base, a mobile element on said figure, actuating means for said element, mounted on said base and connected With said element-s, said actuating means comprising a driven member and levers actuated by the driven member, said driven member and levers having movement in a vetrical plane, an axially movable horizontal shaft having pins detachably engaging said driven member, and means adapted to engage a record on a record table and having driving connection With said shaft.
JEAN M. NATER.
