Description
Patented Nov. 15, 1932 WILLIAM E. SPERRY, OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA 'TOY Application filed Ma a, 1931; Serial m taasis.
This invention relates to toys, and more particularly to toys of the figured type, the primary object of the invention being to provide a toy having the appearance of a horse 5 or other similar animal, the construction of the toy being such that when propelled, the
movements of the toy will simulate the movements of a running animal.
Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby a child seated on the toy may exercise his body by raising and lowering his weight on the seat of the toy, the vertical movement of the body so produced, acting to move the device over the surface on which it is supported.
A still further object of the invention is to.
provide a construction of this character whereby the device may be readily guided by moving the head of the toy.
' With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described 2.5 and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the.
scope of what is claimed, without'departing from the spirit of the invention.
Figure 1 is a' vertical sectional view through a toy constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view thereof.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the
8?: device comprises a frame indicated generally mounted thereon.
is mounted on, the stub shaft 13, extending from the frame. r V
A transversely disposed bar 14 is mounted on the frame, and provides a foot rest for the child seated on the body portion of the device. The frame includes a hollow bearing mem. ber 15 that provides a bearing for the vertical shaft 16 on which the collar 17 is secured,
the collar engaging the lower end of them bearing 15, to support; the toy in an upright pos tion. I w
- At the lower end ofthe vertical shaft 16, is
a fork 18 in whichthe wheel 19is mounted.
The vertical shaft 16 extends through an r 7 enlarged opening 20, formed in the body porr tion 21 of the toy, so that swinging movement of the body portion 21 with shaft 16., will be permitted. Extending into the forward end of the frame5, is a yieldable bar 22, that is curved and extends rearwardly where it is secured within the body portion 21, at 23.
Extending downwardly from the body" respect to the portion, and secured to the body portion by 7- the same securing means used to secure the bar 22to the body portion, is a yieldable actuating bar 24, which is provided; with inwardly and downwardly extendedfingers 25, that. engage between the teeth of the pinion 12, as the actuating bar isv forced downward .ly, thereby rotating the pinion 12, which in turn transmits rotary-movement to the pinlon 11' for rotating the axle 9 and wheels The lower end ofthe bar 24ext ends for,- wardly as alt-26, so that the initial movement is imparted to the pinion 12, by the inwardly. extended end 26 of the bar 24. c
An upwardly extended bar 27 forms a part of the frameand acts as a bearing against which the yieldable bar 22 engages. Mounted on the upperend of the vertical shaft 16, is a head 28, which may be turned by the per-' son seated on the toy, to guide the toy. 1?
The reference character 29 designates a seat secured to the body portion, the seat being constructed to simulate a saddle to receive the person using the toy.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, a child seated on the toy may by raising and lowering his weight, cause the pinions 11 and 12 to be rotated, rotating the rear axle and wheels to propel the toy.
The toy is not only amusing to the child operating the toy, butaffords exercise to the c ild.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed is: V v
1. A device of the class described comprising a frame, abody portion mounted for vertical movement on the frame, a rear axle, wheels secured to the axle, apmion mounted on the axle to rotate therewith, a pinion mounted on the frame and meshing with thefirst mentioned pinion, and a yieldable bar connected'with the body portion and extending to a position adjacent to the-last mentioned pinion to engage the last mentioned pinion to rotate the pinions as the yieldable bar moves downwardly, transmitting rotary movement to the wheels.
'2. A device of the class described comprising a frame, a yieldable bar supported on the frame, a body portion secured to the yieldable bar to move vertically, a rear axle, wheels secured to'the rear axle to rotate therewith, and means for transforming vertical movement of the body portion into rotary movement for rotating the axle and wheels. 7
3. A device of the class described comprising a frame, a rear supporting axle,swheels mounted on the axle to rotate therewith, a pinion on the axle, a pinion mounted above the axle and meshing with the first mentioned pinion, a vertically movable body portion, a
yieldable, bar on thebody portion, and means on thebar for engaging the teeth of the last mentioned pinion to rotate the pinions, axle and wheels to propel the device.
4. A device of the class described comprising a frame, an axle mounted on the frame, wheels on the axle to move therewith, a body portion having an enlarged opening, a vertical shaft extending through the enlarged openingand connected with the frame, means for yieldably supporting the body portion on the frame to permit the body portion to move vertically, and means for transmitting movement of the body portion to the rear axle to rotate theaxle and wheels to propel the device. A
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature.
