A Combined Metallic Bell, Ring, and Teat, or Metallic Bell and
Teat only, for a Child's Toy.
I. AARON SMITH CARTWRIGHT of No. Ford Street, Hockley, Birmingham, in
the County of Warwick, Stamper and Piercer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows :-
My Invention consists of a Metallic Bell, made by uniting (by Press Tools) two
half balls of brass or other suitable metal, to form a ball, being pierced on the
bottom, and having an iron bead enclosed inside, this bead rolls about and causes
the ball, or bell to give out a sharp ring when shaken. On the top of this ball,
or bell, is attached a ring, made either of ivory, bone, or rubber, by means of a
loop of metal passing round the ring, and through the top of the ball or bell, being
riveted inside. To the top of this ring is attached a rubber Teat, the method of
attaching being as follows: a small tubo of bone, having a groove turned round
one end, is attached to the ring by having a wire passed through it, and through the
ring, (a small hole being drilled in the ring for this purpose) the wire is then riveted
at both ends, thus securely fixing the bone tube to the ring, the rubber Teat is then
stretched over the end of the bone tube, until it covers the groove turned round
it, and the bone shield on the rubber Teat being drawn down, forces the rubber into
the groove, thus effectually securing it.
Another arrangement is a Combination of the Metallic ball, or bell, and Teat only,
the Teat being attached to the ball, or bell, exactly by the same method as it is
to the ring, by a bone tube, having a groove turned round one end, to fix and
secure the rubber Teat to, as herein before described, the bone tube, being attached
to the bell, by a wire passing through and being riveted at both ends.
In this second arrangement of ball, or bell, and Teat, the connecting bone tube
is made much longer, forming a better grasp for the hand, and is more ornamental.
By these two Combinations a Toy is made which both amuses a Child (every
movement causing the bell to ring) and assists it to cut its teeth by biting the ring
or Teat.

I AARON SMITH CARTWRIGHT of No. 75 Ford Street, Hockley, Birmingham
in the County of Warwick, Stamper and Piorcer 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:-
My Invention consists of a combination of a Metallic Bell, ring and teat, or
a Metallic Bell and teat only. A Metallic Bell is made in the form of a ball,
by uniting two half balls of brass, or other suitable metal together, by turning or
closing the edge of one half ball over the other by Press Tools, a small piece of iron
boing enclosed inside, which rolls about, causing the Bell or ball to ring with
every movement.
On the top of this Bell or ball is attached a bone ring, by a small ring passing
round it and through the top of the Bell or ball, where it is riveted (this is attached
before the two half balls forming the Bell are united) on the top of the bone ring
is attached a small tube by the same method as the ring is attached to the Bell, this
tube is made either of bone, wood, or any other suitable material, and has a groove
turned round one extremity, over this tube is stretched a rubber teat, then the
bone shield is passed over the top of the rubber teat, and drawn down until
it presses the rubber into the groove turned round the extremity of the tube, thus
securing it.
Another combination is the Bell or ball, and teat only, the teat being connected to the
Bell or ball in the same manner as hereinbefore described by a small tube of bone,
wood, or other suitable material, having a groove turned round one extremity to
stretch the rubber teat over, a wire pin passing through the tubo and into the Bell
or ball, where it is riveted. In this latter combination, the connecting tube is
very much longer to allow of a firm grasp for the hand. All the parts hereinbefore
described the Bell or ball-ring-teat and shield are old, no claim being made
for them as new, but for the combination of the whole, and to better illustrate
my Invention, I herewith append a sheet of explanatory drawings which I will now
proceed to describe.
Figure I, is a sectional view of the first combination of Bell or hall, ring and
teat, on an enlarged scale-A A' are the two half balls forming the Bell or ball.
A² shows the one half closed over the other, uniting the two. B is the iron which
rolls about causing the Bell or ball to ring when moved or shaken. B' is a pierced
slot on the bottom half of Bell or ball. "C is the bone ring. Cis the small ring
connecting the bone ring with Bell or ball. D is the bone or wood tube. E is the
rubber teat. F is the pin connecting the ring with the tube. G is the bone shield
which is drawn down the rubber teat after stretching it over the tube, thus forcing
the rubber into the groove and securely fixing it,

page_text: Figure 2 is a sectional view of the combination of Bell or ball, and teat, on an
enlarged scale they being connected in the saine manner as described in Figure I,
the same letters of reference being used for the various parts.
Figure 3, is a plan of Bell or ball.
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:
I. The use and manufacture of a Child's Toy constructed by the combination
of the parts as hereinbefore described and illustrated at Figure I.
II. The use and manufacture of a Child's Toy constructed by the combination
of the parts as hereinbefore described and illustrated at Figure II.
