I, GEORGE WILLIAM HERBERT, of 74 & 75, Dean Street, Birmingham, Warwick-
shire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement reference being had to the accompanying
drawing and to the letters and Figures marked thereon, that is to say :-
This Invention consists in constructing the framework and hand-wheels of toy
mangles, and the hand wheels of other revolving toys of sheet metal. as hereinafter
set forth so as to render them cheaper to manufacture and less liable to breakage
than heretofore.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a front elevation, Fig. 2 an end elevation
and Fig. 3 a sectional plan on line X. X.of Fig. 1 of a toy mangle constructed
according to my Invention; Fig. 4 is a part cross sectional elevation of the same
on line Y. Y. of Fig. 3; Figs. 5 and 6 are detailed part longitudinal sections of the
same as hereinafter described; Figs. 7, 8, 9 and 10 illustrate the construction of
the hand wheel forming part of the toy mangle illustrated by the preceeding
Figures, separately; Fig. 11 represents in part elevation and Fig. 12 in sectional
plan a modified form of side frame constructed according to my Invention.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in Figs. 1 to 10, both
inclusive.
:
.
a, a; are the two side frames of the toy mangle which according to my
Invention are stamped or pressed from sheet metal by means of suitable dies. b is
the bottom frame formed of sheet metal similarly to the side frames and either
made in a piece therewith (see Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 5) or formed separately (sec
Fig. 6) and attached thereto by rivets c, eyelets or other suitable means.
The side
frames a, a, and the bottom frame b have hollow ribs d or embossed parts e, or
hollow ribs d and embossed parts e, formed on them so as to add to their strength
such ribs and embossed parts being formed by means of suitable dies in a stamp or
press in the manner ordinarily employed for forming other sheet metal articles.
The axes of the top and bottom rolls f, g,. pass through holes h, i, in the side
frames a, a, the holes h for the top roll f being made oval to allow of its being
adjusted to the bottom roll g by the spring k in the ordinary manner. The side
frames a¹, a, are attached to the ordinary top stay s and to the front and back

page_text: stays (the back stay is not shewn on my drawing) by eyelets / or by rivets or
other suitable means. The hand wheel m, fixed on the axis of the roll g and by
which the rolls are turned, consists of a sheet metal outer casing n, forming the
arms and rim, (see Figs. 7 and 8) and an inner wire ring o bent so as to form the
handle o. The rim n of the wheel is first made U shaped (see Fig. 8) the ring o
is then placed in the hollow rim (the handle o¹ protruding through a hole therein)
which latter is closed down (see Fig. 9) so as to secure the rim and the ring
together.
'
The sheet metal side frames and bottom frame and their ribs & and embossed
parts e may be of any suitable pattern or design, those shewn on my drawing
being intended merely as examples, and instead of, or in addition to the hollow
ribs & above described, the edges p of either the side or bottom frames or both
may be turned back (see Figs. 10 and 11) so as to form solid ribs and add strength
thereto.
Although I prefer to form the side frames and bottom frames of thin sheet
metal strengthened by ribs or embossed parts or both, as herein before described,
still if desired the ribs and embossed parts or both can be dispensed with and a
thicker metal employed.
The hand wheel above described can be used for other toys, where a hand wheel
is required, as well as for the toy mangle above described.
-
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:
1st The improvements in the construction of toy mangles herein beforo described
with reference to the accompanying drawing, that is to say, the employment of
sheet metal for constructing their side frames and bottom frames or their side
frames only as herein set forth.
2nd The improvements in the construction of toy mangles hereinbefore described
with reference to the accompanying drawing, that is to say, constructing their side
frames and bottom frame or their side frames only of sheet metal strengthened by
ribs or embossed parts or ribs and embossed parts as herein set forth.
3rd A hand wheel constructed of sheet metal and wire substantially as heroin
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
