Plumber Glaezier and painter 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 made to the accompanying Drawings which shew an arrangement
of apparatus illustrating my Invention This Invention of improvements in apparatus
for Toy Carts or Carriages and the like supported by wheels I arrange as follows
A revolving Axle A placed near the front part of and under the Toy Cart or
Carriage E on which two wheels Bare rivetted or otherwise made secure to the Axle A
so that when made fast the axle A and wheels B revolve at the same time through
suitable formed holes in Toy Cart bottom On the Axle A and between the wheels B
may be fixed one or more excentric wheels C or streight bits of iron I secured to
axle A through hole J made in same, fastened with nutt under Axle A, Each wheel C
forming an excentric and to be groved on the outer edge to receive a rod D which
rests in the grouve and is worked up and down by the motion of the excentric wheel C
One end of the rod D projecting in front of Toy Cart E or Carriage to receive a toy
Horse or other imitation of an animal &c. which may be screwed or otherwise made
fast to it The other end of Rod D forms an hinge K and is fixed inside and on the
bottom of Toy Cart E as shewn The rod 1) resting on the excentric wheel C is made
to rise and fall In the front part or Head part of Toy Cart or Carriage E there
are formed grooves L one or more for the rod D to slide up and down and as a guide
for rod D to keep the same in position on excentric wheel C near the back of and
under the bottom of Toy Cart E is fixed a stationary axle F made fast to bottom of
Toy Cart or Carriage E On each end is placed a wheel C which revolves on the
axle F The axle A revolves in two suitable formed loops M screwed or nailed, or
otherwise made fast to the Toy Cart or Carriage E The centre portion and each end
of axle A being made square or rectangular to receive the excentric wheels C and
also wheels B The remaining portion of axle A being made circular, The Toy
Cart may be made of wood, Tin, iron or other suitable materials, At each side
and in front of Toy Cart may be fixed small Hooks H or shafts to fasten string
or cord or other suitable material too, to draw the Toy Cart or Carriage E along
the ground.
Having now particularly described and accertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is

page_text: like supported by wheels made fast to a revolving axle on which are placed one or
more grooved excentric wheels or wheels or streight pieces of metal fastened on the
axle with a metal rod resting on each and projecting through Toy Cart or carriage
front or Head The other end of above mentioned Rod D forms an Hinge and
is fastened inside on the bottom and near to the back of Toy Cart or Carriage as the
wheels B revolve the rod D is set in motion, On the end of each Rod D is fixed an
imitation animal which moves up and down substantially as hereinhefore described
and illustrated.
