GEORGE FREDERICK LÜTTICKE, Elisabeth Ufer 5-6, Berlin, S.0., Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to simple novel mechanical means for constructing toys.
with the effect of figures appearing from and disappearing into a box or the
like with an additional contrivance, admitting of facial or other changes being
worked during transition.
In order to carry out my invention I provide a piece of plate or the like, to
one side of which is loosely pivoted a flat rod or the like, such rod carrying at
a couvenient point, loosely pivoted to it, for example, the openmouthed head
of a toy figure, which, by means of a pin or the like, travelling in a slit in the
said piece of plate or vice versa, is arranged, when lifted by the said rod, fo
describe a revolving movement in relation to the said rod. By these means
the advantage is gained of raising a figure from behind the wall of a box or the
like in a comparatively limited compass of space.
Facial or other changes may be worked, for example, by means of the said
rod carrying part or parts of a figure, for instance, in the case of a head: a
tongue, which, as the head rises and revolves appears to move forward and thus
produces the illusion of the figure putting out its tongue. Other changes may
be worked by means of connecting rods, levers, or the like, transferring motion
by means of pins and holes, slots or the like, from the said rod to part or parts
of the figure, which part or parts may be loosely pivoted to or otherwise suitably
connected with the figure. In order to cause the said rod to return to its normal
position, after being raised, I may use a suitable spring or weight conveniently
arranged.

I, GEORGE FREDERICK LÜTTICKE, of 5/6, Elisabeth-Ufer, Berlin, in the Empire
of Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to simple novel mechanical means for constructing toys.
with the effect of figures appearing from and disappearing into a box or the

page_text: like with an additional contrivance, admitting of facial or other change being
worked during transition.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show the toy from the back
in two end-positions. f represents a piece of flat plate, to which is loosely pivoted
at the point d a lever of flat metal b, carrying at the point c loosely pivoted to
it the head piece a, the latter being provided with a pin g, travelling in the
slot of the piece f; the lever is at its end shaped to represent the form of
a tongue c. To the head piece is loosely pivoted at the point o a hat i which
is suitably connected by means of a flat rod with the lever at the points
and . It will be seen that on a lifting movement being imparted by any suitable
means to the lever the head piece a will be made to describe two distinct
movements viz. it will be bodily lifted and at the same time describe a revolving
movement in relation to the lever bowing to the action of the pin g travelling
in the slot . At the same time the position of the hat will be shifted by the
action of the connecting rod . The return of the lever and headpiece to their
normal position may be effected either by means of their own weight or by a
spring suitably adapted.
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
1) A toy representing a figure of flat metal, which whilst being bodily moved
by means of a lever or the like is made to describe a revolving movement in
relation to such lever, by means of a pin travelling in a slot or the like, sub-
stantially as shown and described.
2) In a toy as per Claim 1) the contrivance of the lever forming part of a
figure which describes special movements, substantially as shown and described.
3) In a toy as per Claim 1) the contrivance of a connecting rod or the like
transferring motion from the lever to a movable part of a figure, substantially
as shown and described.
