TOY WHISTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 233,377, dated October 19, 1880. Application filed July 9, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known thatI, GHARLEs ScHwARrz, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Toy Whistle, of which the following is a full and exact description.

This invention relates to a new toy whistle which is combined with a fan-wheel and toy figure, so as to utilize the air blown toward the to whistle, revolving the wheel and the toy figure,

and raising and lowering the same on an upright standard, thereby adding to the amusement which a whistle usually affords to children. In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side view, partlyin section, of my improved toy whistle. Fig. 2 is an end view,

partly in section, of the same; and Fig. 3, a par-' tial top view thereof.

LetterA in the drawings represents a straight or other whistle or 'blowpipe, through which air is blown at the mouth end a, and from which it escapes through an aperture, 1), at the top. The whistle proper, c, is attached to the 2 5 end opposite the mouth end, and is of suitable construction; but said whistle for many purposes may be dispensed with when the instrument is to be noiseless.

To the tube A is attached an upwardly-pro- 0 jecting arm, 01, which has a socket, e, in which an upright rod or standard, B, is held.

D is a fan-wheel fitted around the standard B,and made of pasteboard, paper, sheet metal, or other equivalent material, with wings f, so

5 arranged that said wings will be affected by the air blown through the hole I) and the fan wheel D revolved thereby. Upon said fanwheel D is secureda toy figure, E, which also is swiveled around the standard B, and will revolve around the same, together with the fan-wheel.

The figure E has pivoted arms 9 and other pivoted limbs, if desired.

As air is blown through the tube A the wheel D, together with the figure E, will be revolved, and at the same time said wheel and said figure will ascend under the air-pressure on the standard B, and by centrifugal force the arms 9 and other pivoted limbs will be swung out, all as shown by dotted lines in Fig. l of the drawings. Thus a child, by blowing through the pipe A, will cause the figure and the wheel to spin up and down on the standard B, and to revolve and create by its movements and the movements of its limbs considerable amusement, which may be increased by the music afforded by the whistle; but such music, in many cases, may be satisfactorily dispensed with.

I claim- 1. The air-pipe A, having mouth-opening a and air-discharging opening b, in combination with standard B, and with the fan-wheel D, which is fitted loosely upon said standard to slide up and down thereon, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The toy figure E, combined with the reciprocating and rotating wheel D, fixed standard B, and air-pipe A, for operation as described.

3. The revolving and vertically-reciprocating figure E, provided with pivoted limbs g, and combined with the air-pipe A, substantially as specified.

4. The toy whistle, combined with the rotating and reciprocating toy figure, to be operated by the same air which is blown toward the whistle, substantially as specified.

OH. SCHWARTZ.
