Description
May 8, 1962 J. E. BORING CAP FIRING WHIP Filed April 22, 1959 John E Baring INVENTOR. 4065- BY flu United States Patent 3,032,925 CAP FIRING WHIP John E. Boring, Rte. 3, Madisonville, Tenn. Filed Apr. 22, 1959, Ser. No. 808,102 3 Claims. (Cl. 46-176) The present invention relates to a novel fun provoking and noise-making toy; more particularly, a whip which is characterized by a cap holding and exploding handle.
In reducing to practice a practical and desirable plaything the central and motivating idea has to do with a whip through the medium of which a double-cracking noise is susceptible of accomplishment, that is, a cracking sound attending the snap-action of the tip of the whips lash and a simultaneous, or nearly so, crack from a fired cap, that is the type of explosive cap used nowadays with cap pistols. In brief, the over-all novel whip is expressly adapted and designed to enable the user to produce a crack-bang sound while running and racing and using the invention while playing crack-the-whip, to the end that this may be accomplished in an amusing manner.
In carrying out a preferred embodiment of the invention the lash is of any suitable construction without, of course, being too expensive for adoption as a component of a toy. The stock or handle is novel. That is to say it is hollow and the upper end is provided with a cap receiving and firing anvil. A cap firing hammer is slidably mounted in a hollow body portion and by manipulating the handle and lash in a manner sufficiently animated to bring the impact surface of the hammer against the cap on the anvil, the cap is exploded and the noisy report provides the crack-of-the-whip result whether the lash does or does not produce a cracking noise.
Other objects, features and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description and the accompanying illustrative drawing.
In the drawing, wherein like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the views:
FIG. 1 is a view showing a toy whip constructed in accordance with the invention and showing the manner in which it may be used.
FIG. 2 is a view in section and elevation on an enlarged scale taken approximately through the central portion of the stock or handle.
FIG. 3 is a section on the line 33 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary view based on FIG. 2 and showing how the explosive cap between the hammer and anvil is intended to be fired.
With reference now to FIG. 1 the lash, which may be a rope or braided leather or the like is denoted by the numeral 6 and the free or tip end is denoted at 8. The inner end is formed into a suitable coil or knot as shown at 10 in FIG. 2. Here the end portion is passed through an opening 12 provided in an end wall 14 at one end of the handle or stock 16. This handle is of hollow elone gated construction and preferably cylindrical and provides a cylinder or chamber 18 in which the Sliding weight or hammer 20 is operable. This part may be a wooden or an equivalent plug provided on the firing end with a metal firing disk 22 which is adapted to collide with the explosive cap 24 held against the anvil forming disk 26. This disk 26 is on a fixed Wooden plug 28 secured in the upper end portion of the chamber of the handle and clampingly engaged with the end portion 10 of the lash 6 for frictionally anchoring said lash in said handle. In a Patented May 8, 1962 plane with the anvil a slot 30 is provided which serves to accommodate the cap. The opening 32 adjacent to the slot is a suitable finger-hole which also may be referred to as a clean-out hole. This hole permits access to be had to the anvil for scraping out the used cap. It may be stated in this connection that the plugs 20 and 28 may be of wood or some equivalent material and the plug 28 is preferably fixed in the end portion of the handle in such a way that it assists in binding the knot 10 between itself and the end wall 14 to thus provide a secure connection and to facilitate manufacturing. FIG. 1 shows the handle being held and the lash being whipped into action. After a bit of trial and error effort the user will soon find that it is possible to actually crack the tip 8 of; the lash and almost simultaneously to fire the explosive cap at the same time. This combined noise gives off a loud report which will appeal, it is believed, to the childs mind while romping and playing.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
1. A toy whip comprising a tubular handle for receiving an explosive cap, said handle including an end wall having an opening therein, a lash having one end portion inserted in the handle through the opening, a hammer slidably mounted in the handle, and common means including an anvil in the handle cooperable with the hammer for exploding the cap and with said end wall for frictionally anchoring the lash in said handle.
2. A toy whip comprising a tubular handle for receiving an explosive cap, said handle having an opening in one end portion, a lash having one end portion inserted in the handle through the opening, a hammer slidably mounted in the handle, and common means in the handle cooperable with the hammer for exploding the cap and for anchoring the lash in said handle, said means including an anvil fixed in said one end portion of said handie and clampingly engaged with said one end portion of said lash.
3. A toy whip comprising an elongated tubular handle including a closed end having an opening therein, said handle further having a slot therein at an intermediate point for the insertion of an explosive cap, a lash having one end portion inserted in the handle through the opening, an anvil fixed in the handle for receiving the cap thereon and clampingly engaged with said one end portion of said lash for anchoring same in the handle, and a hammer slidable in the handle for striking and exploding the cap.
