Toy Hobby Horses (Cycles, Ships, Trains, or other Species of Toys)
Made to Revolve by Means of a Crank.
1 GEORGE TAYLOR of 10 Hulme Street Hyde in the County of Chester do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
(1.) Two horizontal circular discs of tin or wood connected with each other by
supports. Round the upper one the horses &c. move in grooves or otherwise.
(2.) A thin rod or crank (the shoulder of which is between the 2 discs) is fixed
perpendicularly in a socket in the centre of the lower disc (in which it works) &
passes thro' a hole in the centre of the upper disc. To the top of this rod is soldered
à circular (tundish-shaped) roof from the circumference of which are suspended the
toy horses &c. which revolve with the crank.
(3.) To the shoulder of the crank is attached a horizontal arui which when moved
by the hand or by a wheel causes the crank to revolve.

Made to Revolve by Means of a Crank.
I GEORGE TAYLOR of 10 Hulme Street Hydo in the County of Chester Moulder
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:-
The toy is constructed as follows
There are two horizontal circular discs or platforms made of tin wood or other
material connected with each other by supports at various points or by a continuous
cylindrical support or by both means the supports standing upon the lower disc and
supporting the upper one. Round the circumference of the upper disc the horses or
other toys move in grooves or otherwise.
A thin rod or crank the shoulder of which is between the two discs is fixed perpen-
dicularly in a socket in the centre of the lower disc (in which it works) and passes
through a small hole in the centre of the upper disc. To the top of this rod is soldered
or fastened a circular (tundish shaped) roof from the circumference of which are
suspended the horses or other toys which revolve with the crank. To the shoulder of
the crank is attached a horizontal arm which when moved by the hand or by a wheel
causes the crank to revolve.
Figure 1 in the accompanying drawing represents a vertical elevation of the toy.
The portion marked by the letters a, b, c d e represents the roof from which depend
the toy figures as marked a¹ b' and c¹.
The centre rod or crank passes vertically from the point C to the socket K in the
lower disc the shoulder of the crank being the portion between the two discs marked
by the letters f, g, h, i. At the point K the crank fits into a socket in the lower disc.
The line ed represents a section (through the centre) of the upper disc and the
line a similar section of the lower disc c' e¹ and d f represent sections of the
cylindrical support connecting the upper and lower discs."
The figure m, n, represents the horizontal arm attached to the shoulder of the crank
by the movement of which the crank is made to revolve. It is attached to the crank
9, h. The arm moves horizontally to left and right as shown in figure 1 and passes
through a hole in the cylindrical support d'f'.
at
g represents the handle by which the toy may be held.
Figure 2 in the accompanying drawing represents a view of either the upper or
lower disc. As a view of the upper disc the points a, b, c, d, represent the position of
the revolving toys. As a view of the lower disc the point al represents the socket in
which the crank fits.
In figure 2 and independently of the discs a horizontal section of the arm which
works the crank is shown by the figure a¹ b¹ c¹.

page_text: When the horizontal arm (m n in figure 1) is moved inwards and outwards
alternately the crank revolves and with it the roof and the toys depending from the
circumference of the roof.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is
The application of a crank and arm to cause the revolution of the roof and the toys
depending therefrom
