JOHN F. LIIPHAED, OF XVASHINGTON, DlSTRIGT OF COLUMBIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO RICHARD COPP, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
HOOP FOR TRUNDLING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 378,327, dated February 21, 1888.
Application filed November 2, lESG. Serial No. 217,339. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, J can F. LIPPHARD, of Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain Improvements in Hoops for Trundling; and I do hereby declare that the following specification contains afull description of the same, reference heinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
Thisinvention relates to hoops to hetrundled by children; and it consists of a novel and improved construction of hoop, with certain attachments thereto, forming an amusing toy, as hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view showing the outer side of a hoop provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 isa central vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 illustrates the construction of the rings forming the hub in which the hoop-stiokissecured.
The hoop with my construction is not intended to be trundlcd bybeating itwith astick; but one end of the stick has a loose or swivel connection with rings or a hub at the center of the hoop, spokes, or wires extending to the rim to which they are fastened.
A designates the rim of the hoop, and B the stick or handle by means of which the hoop is trundled. The spokes a are constructed of wire, the pieces being bent and twisted in such a manner as to form central rings or hub, b, in which one end of the stick is loosely secured. Two pieces of wire are made to form four of the spokes thus: The ends of two pieces of wire are insertcdin the rim A at the inside, a suitable distance apart, and the wires are then brought together at a point near the center of the hoop,where they are twisted together. The wires are then bent to form a ring, I), of suit able size, for the end of the stick, and are again twisted, and their opposite ends are inserted in the rim of the hoop. Several couples of wires are bent and applied to the hoop in like manner to form the requisite number of spok es. The outward end of each of the wires is bent twice at right angles to form a shoulder, c, which sets against the rim, when the end of the wire is properly inserted, so that the rim of the hoop is effectually biased by the spokes.
Thestick or handle 13, for trundlingthehoop,
is reduced at its-forward end, forming ashoulder, (2, and the axle thus formed is passed through the central rings or hub, Z1, and is secured by means of a washer, e, and screw 9.
0 indicates a rim surrounding the axle of the 5 wheel and made fast to the spokes, said rim being provided with teeth or projections it, for the purpose hereinafter stated.
A short distance from the connection of the stick B with the hub a rod or wire, 2', extends 6o upward from the stick, its lower end being secured thereto, and has its upper end passed over the rim of the hoop, as shown. An oblique wire, in, forming a brace, has one end secured to the stick, and, extending upward, is wound around the wire 2' and then turned downward directly over the rim 0. These wires 2 and 7c form a frame within whichis supported or suspended one or more images,to which motion is imparted by the movement of the hoop. 7c
In Fig. 1 two figures or images, D and E, are shown in the act of running, each being pivoted to a horizontal bar, F, which is centrally fastened to the depending wire k. The images are so constructed and hang to bar F that the 7 forward foot of each of them is held near the rim 0 in position to be struck by the projections it on the rim as the hoop revolves.
From the upper part of the wire frame and over the rim of the hoop extends a vertical wire limb, in, to which is fastened the image G, the limbs of the image being loosely connected with the body and having acordm, connected with them, the construction being similar to what is commonly known as a dancing-jack, to which motion is imparted by pulling acord.
The cord at is passed through a loop, 0, and extended down to a fixed stud, 1), near the center of the hoop. As the hoop is trundled along by means of the handle B, the rim C revolving go with the hoop, the teeth h successivelyinipinge against the forward foot of each of theimagcs D and E, giving each of thema running or leaping movement; and the studp, moving on a circle around the center of thehoop, draws the 5 l hoops of this construction, and one or more imrim, 0, secured to the spokes, ahandle having a loose connection with the hub, a frame carried by the handle and extending upward therefrom, and one or more images pivotally connected with the frame and held in position above the rim 0, for the impingement of teeth h against the feet of the images, substantially as and for the purposes described.
3. :In combination withahoop havingahau dle-loosely connected with it a't the center, a wire frame carried by the handle and extending upward and over the rim of the hoop, an image carried by said frame and fixed thereto above the said rim, the limbs of said image having a loose connection with its body, afixed stud near the center of the hoop, and a cord, a, connected with the stud and with the limbs of the image, substantially as set forth and o described.
Witness my signature hereto in the presence of two witnesses.
JOHN F. LIPPHARD.
