1. JOHN CHADWICK of 25 Bury New Road, Haulgh, Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to he as
follows:-
•
This invention relates to a new or improved pneumatic toy and consists of a metallic
or other tube curved upwards at its outer extremity, the latter being provided with a
bell-mouth or tun-dish end, or otherwise. The outlet in the bell-mouth or tun-dish or
other end is reduced so as to cause the emittance of a current of air similar to that of
a blow pipe. In the outlet is inserted loosely a pin or centre on which is mounted a
sphere of lightly constructed material, the same being attached to the tube by a light
textile cord or thread to prevent its being blown too far away or fliat of falling to
the floor.
When the mounted sphere and centre are placed over the reduced outlet the other
end of the tube is placed in the operator's mouth to blow through the same, causing
the sphere and pin to rise and float or dance in the current of air from the outlet.
The mouth end of the tube can be provided with any suitable month piece.

I JOHN CHADWICK of 25 Bury New Road, Haulgh, Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
This invention relates to a new or improved pneumatic toy and consists of a metallic
or other tube curved upwards at its outer extremity; the latter being provided with
a bell-mouth or tun-dish end, or otherwise. The outlet in the bell-mouth or tun-dish
or other end is reduced so as to cause the emittance of a current of air similar to that
of a blow pipe. In the outlet is inserted loosely a pin or centre, on which is mounted
a sphere of lightly constructed material; the same being attached to the tube by a
light textile cord or thread to prevent its being blown too far away or that of falling
to the floor.
When the mounted sphere and centre are placed over the reduced outlet the other
end of the tube is placed in the operator's mouth to blow through the same, causing the
sphere and pin to rise and float or dance in the current of air from the outlet. The
mouth end of the tube can be provided with any suitable mouth piece.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my pneumatic toy-Fig. 2 is an elevation showing
same in operation when being blown, and Fig. 3 is a plan of Fig. 1.
A is a tube made of tin, tinsel, or other suitable material, curved upwards at its
outer extremity, the latter being provided with the bell-month or tun-dish end B. The
outlet in the bell-mouth or tun-dish end is reduced so as to cause the emittance of
a current of air similar to that of a blow pipe. In the outlet C is inserted loosely the
pin or centre D, on which is mounted the ball or sphere E constructed of any suitable
light material being attached to the tube A by the textile cord or thread G to prevent
its being blown too-far away. When the ball or sphere E and the pin or centre D are
placed over the outlet the mouth piece end H of the tube is placed in the operator's
mouth to blow through the same, causing the sphere and pin or centre to rise and float
or dance in the current of air from the outlet C, as shown in Fig. 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The pneumatic toy, consisting of the tube A with the bell-mouth or fun-ish end,
the pin or centre D, and the ball or sphere E, constructed and operating substantially
as described and shown.
