do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-

.
:
This invention has for its object the construction of a toy for the purpose of
automatically delivering any suitable article (such for instance a cocoa nut and is a
modification of my invention set forth in my application No. 18676, 1889, and the
same is carried out in the following manner. I provide a suitable casing which encloses
my mechanism consisting of a suitable platform working on a pivot. This said
platform is connected to a rod or strip which is also pivotted in or near its centre and
this said rod or strip carries on its lower or bottom end a suitable wheel or roller.
This said wheel or roller rests and travels on an incline or bevel plane formed on the
corresponding end of the said platform. The other end or top of this said rod or
strip carries a suitable figure which is exposed to view through an aperture in the
casing. The action is as follows. An orange, cocoanut or other desired article is
put on the opposite end of the said platform to that to which the said rod or strip
acts upon, which is also bevelled; the object now being to hit the said figure at the
top of the lever and eject the article. When the said figure is hit the rod or strip is
thrown back and being pivotted in its centre causes the end containing the wheel,
below the pivot to come forward, and in doing so tilt the said platform and eject the
article from an aperture in any suitable part of the said casing. If desired the said
platform may be dispensed with, in which case a fixed bottom is provided, and the
forward motion of the bottom of the rod or strip is utilized for ejecting the
article.
