Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Giving a Mechanical Motion to Parts of Toys, or to Parts of other Mechanism.
Inventor: HUTCHINGS JOHN
Filed: 1904-06-23
Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 14,218. Hutchings, J. June 23. Mechanical toys.-A mechanical device is adapted to be used as a toy, a shop-window attraction, advertising. device, and for theatrical representations. In the form shown, a giant and two figures, A, B, arrange to move in and out of a cottage, Figs. 1 and 4, are caused to perform movements to illustrate the legend of " Jack the Giant Killer." The movements are obtained from a lever l connected to a disc k on a shaft e, which, when used in a window, is driven by suitable gearing from a spring or other motor 100, wound up by a handle a, and controlled by a ratchet d, or is d iven by a crank handle b, or pedal, when used as a toy. The first half-revolution of the shaft e causes the lever l to move a ratchet o, and with it levers q, r, the lever l being acted on by a spring 44 to keep it engaged with a ratchet-tooth. The lever r, by means of a connecting-rod u attached to a lever v on the giant's body, moves the body to such a position that the giant looks down the chimney, and the lever q, by means of a connecting-rod wand bent lever x supported in a vertical bearing y, causes the figure B to retire just inside the cottage and tl e door z to close. The ratchet o is held by a spring-controlled clip 15, while the lever l is moved backwards, and, at the next forward movement, the lever engages the next ratchet tooth and again moves the levers r, q. The connecting- rod u makes the giant stoop so as to look in at the window, and at the same time his head is turned by a roller 31, on a rod 34, Figs. 4 and 7, which moves on a surface 32 mounted on a bracket 33. The lower part of the body of the giant is at the same time turned about a pin 35 by a friction roller 37, which moves on a curved surface supported by a bracket 38. The pin 35 is supported in a socket 36 in the giant's leg, and is acted on by a spring 55, Fig. 4, which tends to return the body to its normal position. While the giant is stooping down, the figure B retires further into the cottage, the door z closes, and the figure A is forced out of the chimney. This movement is effected by the lever q, which comes in contact with a stop t on a lever s connected by a crank 19 and links 22, 26 to the figure B. As the figure B emerges from the chimney, it strikes the giant with a stick. When the lever l is again moved forwards, a notch 49 in it engages a cross-bar 46 held by two levers, and this causes the lever to move so as to come in contact with the clip 15 which engages the ratchet o, and the ratchet is released from the clip, so that by the action of a spring 42 it returns to its initial portion, as do also the figures A, B and the giant The giant may be made of stamped tinplate, or the body may be covered with cloth. When made of tin, the junction of the top and lower portions of the body is suitably curved to allow the turning motions of the body.
