BOUNDING TOY Filed Dec. 1, 1927 flaw/anima- Patented Apr. 2, 1929.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
BOUNDING TOY.
Application filed December The object of this invention is to provide a bounding toy comprising an inflatable toy balloon, and means whereby when the balloon is inflated and the toy is thrown into the air, it is adapted to rebound from an arresting surface to a greater extent, or with greater amplitude than is possible when "the balloon is the usual inflated rubber bag, and is not provided with means added thereto for causing an amplified rebound.
Of the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification,
Figure 1 is a side view of a bounding toy embodying the invention. Figure 2 is a fragmentary enlarged section on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 are views similar to Figure 2, showing variations.
Figures 6 and 7 show separately the parts connected, as shown by Figure 5.
Figure 8 is a side view, showing the balloon collapsed.
' The same reference characters indicate the same parts in all of the figures. v
In carrying out my invention, I secure to a toy balloon 12, a resilientbuffer 13, in such manner as to form. an external resilient protuberance on a limited convex portion of the periphery of the balloon, and weight said portion, so that when the balloon is nflated, and thetoy as a whole is thrown into the air, the buffer, by reason of its weight, moves in advance of the balloon, increases its momentum, and adapted to collide with an arresting surface, such as a floor, and cause the toy to rebound therefrom, the ampliludc of the rebound depending on the force with which the toy is thrown, and being greater than would be caused by the impact of a convex portion not provided with the buffer. i A
The balloon may be an ordinary thin walled rubber bag having a contracted neck I l, through which it may be inflated, the neck being closable by any suitable means, to confine a charge of air.
The buffer 12 is a relatively thick body, of elastic rubber, such as that employed in ordinary rubber balls used by children, the
to the balloon in any suitable manner. The thickness of the buffer is much greater than that of the balloon wall, so that the butter is adapted to rebound repeatedly, like an ordinary rubber ball.
body being of any suitable shape and secured 1, 1927. Serial No. 236,900.
The buffer shown by Figures 1 and 2, is substantially hemispherical and has a concave face cemented to a limited portion 15 of the periphery of the balloon. The buffer shown by Figure 3 is spherical, and its central zone is inserted in an opening in the balloon and cemented to an annular portion 16 thereof.
The buffer shown by Figure 4, is secured to the balloon as shown by Figure 3, the
buffer having a flat outer face 17, presenting a considerable area of bearing surface, so that the buffer may support the balloon in an upstanding position.
The butler shown by Figure 5, is spherical and has a peripheral groove 18. The balloon is provided with an orifice 19 (Figure 6), surrounded by a head 20, adapted to be enlarged by stretching, and to spring into the groove 18, as shown by Figure 5. The portion of the balloon entering the groove may be cemented therein, if desired.
The balloon may be either substantially spherical or elongated .in one direction when inflated, and may be painted, or otherwise ,trcated on its external surface, to simulate a human or other figure.
V The toy is adapted to rebound several times after the first contact of the buffer with afloor, the first rebound being of major amplitude, and the succeeding rebounds of successively decreasing amplitude, so that the toy may hop automatically after being forcibly thrown against a floor.
'I claim: 7
A toy balloon composed of a thin-walled I elastic bag, adapted to be inflated, and provided with an elastic buffer, fixed to and projecting outward from a limited convex portion of its wall, and forming a resilient protuberance thereon, the buffer being composed entire y of resilient material and formed to weight the portion from which it projects, the arrangement being such that when the balloon is thrown and allowed to approach an arresting surface,-the butler strikes said surface and is adapted to cause repeated and amplified rebounding or hopping vmovements of the balloon therefrom.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
