PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Toy Spinning Wheel.
JOSIAH HANDFORD, Miner Three Horse Shoes Yard, High Street, Chesterfield
and CHARLES HENRY HANDFORD, Engine Driver Broomhall Park, Old
Whittington Chesterfield do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This toy is constructed of wood or other light and suitable materials in windmill
style of various designs and as per accompanying drawings. A is a barrel to
which are attached the vanes B. B. B. B and revolving in bearings at either end
of the framework. C and D are stays to secure the frame, the lower one of
which D has a hole bored through. Around the barrel A & attached to it a
cord E is coiled, the end of which passes through the hole in the lower stay D.
The end of the cord E is taken in the right hand while the whole frame is held in
the left hand at F. A sharp pull on the cord E uncoils it from the barrel A and
turns the vanes B. B. B. B round with this barrel A. If the right hand be now
eased the barrel A will immediately revolve in the opposite direction carrying with
it the vanes B. B. B. B and coiling the cord E on the barrel A again. An
alternate circular motion is repeatedly carried on by giving the cord E a sharp
pull, thereby uncoiling the cord E from the barrel A and easing the cord E to
allow it to coil itself on the barrel A again. A little practice will enable the
simplest to work this toy with ease to their great delight. This toy may be made
to any size required and of any material and design.
