ELIOT KEEN AND RAYMOND F. AYERS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
AMUSEMENT DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 8, 1906.
Application filed May 8,1905. Serial No. 259,279.
To a, whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ELIOT KEEN and RAY- MON-D F. Arnns, citizens of the United States and residents of New York, in the county oi New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Amusement Devices, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to amusement de vices.
It has for its object to provide a movable object or body made to represent a person, EDITH Ll, or thing-for instance, a human fig ure, a horse, a boat, or an automobile-and means for propelling said object or body.
it has for a further ob'ect to provide a device of the character set iorth embodying advantages in point of simplicity and inexpensiveness of construction, attractiveness in appearance, and perfect operation.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device, in this instance being represented as a yacht, partly broken away to show its single cavity and its repelling means, consisting of a single ball coated in said cavity. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary detail view showing the manner of connecting the crossiece shown in Fig. 1 to the blanks. Fig. 3 IS a side view of a modified form of the device, in this instance being represented as an automobile, partly broken away to show its two cavities and its propelling means, consisting of two balls located in said cavities. Fig. 4 is a fra mentary detail view showing the manner connecting one of the braces and cross pieces shown in Fig. 3 to the blanks. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary detail view showing the manner of connecting the crosspicce shown in Fig. 3 to the blanks. Fig. 6 1s a side view of another modified form of the device dispensing with the crossiece, in this instance being represented as a sk ater, partly broken awa to show its single eavit r and its single props ling means, consisting oi a single bal in said cavity.
In all the figures of the drawings illustrating our'invention like reference characters designate corres ending parts.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, 1 designates the yacht, com rising blanks 2 and 3 correspondingly sha ed to present generally the outlines of a yes t with its sails set, the blanks being secured together by paste, cement, or b any other suitable means along the upper e gas, the lower edges being held apart by a forward brace 7 and a rear crosspiece 8, having notches 9 engaging notches 19 in said lower edges, said brace and crosspieee forming, in conjunction with the blanks 2 and 3, a forward compartment 12, open at the bottom and adapted to receive the propelling means, shown in the drawings as a ball 13, but which may be of a different sha e. The cross-piece is provided with latera extensions 14 and 15, having upwardlyextending under edges 13, said extensions serving as pivots on which the yacht turns and rocks, thus preventing it from falling over. In operation the yacht is supported on a board 16 or any other suitable support and is moved thereovcr by means of the movement of the propelling means, which is accomplished by giving the board a circularlytilting movement.
Referring now to Figs. 3, 4, and 5 of the drawings, 20 designates the automobile, comprising blanks 21 and 22, correspondingly shaped to present generally the outline of an automobile and a chauffeur therein, the blanks being secured together by any suit able means along the upper edges, the lower edges being held apart at one end by forward braces 25 and 26 and a central cross-piece 27 the cross-piece having notches 28 engaging notches 3O in'said lower edges and the brace 26 having notches 32 engaging notches 34 in said lower edges, said brace and cross-piece a; forming, in conjunction with the blanks 21 and 22, compartments 36 and 37, open at the bottom and adapted to receive the propelling means, shown in the drawings as balls 39, but which may be of a different shape. The cross-piece is provided with lateral extensions 40 and 41 and has a curved under edge 42, said extensions serving as pivots on which the automobile turns and serving a similar purpose to the cross-piece 8. Referring to Fig. 5 of the drawings, designates the skater, comprising blanks 5i and 52, correspondingly shaped to present the general outline of a man skating, the blanks being secured together by any suitable means along the to edges, the bottom edges being held apart y a suitably-formed box 53, secured between them by any suitable means and serving as a com artment to receive the propelling means, s own in the drawings as a ball 54, but which may be of a different sha e.
These movable objects or bodies instea of being set up, as shown in the drawings, may be printed on a single sheet with directions for cutting them out and setting them up, so
as to adapt them to be furnished with newspapers, periodicals, magazines, &c.
We do not wish to be understood as limiting ourselves to the precise details and arrangements oi. parts shown and described, but reserve the right to all modifications with in the scope of our invention.
Having now described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In an amusement device, the combination with a slidable hollow body or object a cross-piece the ends of which roject beyond the body on both sides and orm pivots on which the body turns, of propelling means located in said body and adapted to move therein against the walls thereof to thereby slide said body, substantially as described.
2. In an amusement device, the combination with a slidable hollow body or object, a support for said body and a cross-piece the ends of which project beyond the body on both sides and form pivots on which the body turns, of" propelling means located in said body and. adapted to move on said sup port and within and against the walls of said body to thereby slide the body on said support, substantially as described.
3. In an amusement device, the combina tion with. a slidable hollow body or object, a support for said body and a cross-piece the ends of which project beyond the body on both sides and form pivots on which the body turns, of spherical propelling means located therein and adapted to move on said support and within and against the walls of said body to thereby slide the body on the support, substantially as described.
Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 4th day of May, A. D. 1905.
