Y Specication of animproved Toy invented by GEORGE W. Sizun, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, and State of New York. I

My invention relates to a kind of toy well known inthe United States, which is calleda buzz and it consists in 'attaching whistles t'o the periphery or other part of the said buziat asuicient distance from the centre, so that the buzz in revolving, shall cause the said whistles to move rapidly through the air, thereby causing them to give forth a whistling sound, substantially as hereinafter set forth. In the accompanying drawings--4 Figurel is anedge elevation of my improved whistling'buzz.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same, the driving-cord being removed and showing one style ot' coloring or painting.

Figure 3 is a radial central section, showing the construction of the whistles. y

A isA the buzz oi' the ordinary form, with a loop, B, attached at each side, to which the driving-cord C is attached. Colors are pnt on in sections, as seen in iig.. 2; 'any two .colors which it is desired to combine or blend by means Yof the motion of the buzz, as blue and yellow to produce green, or red and blue to produce purple or violet, being put on :it-equal distances from the centre. It is obvious that the position and arrangement of these colors may be almost infinitely varied, and a corresponding variety of eiects produced. The ends of the cord C are broken o' to save space, as'they do not differ from vthose in ordinary use. D are the whistles, which in the forni of ihe'toy shown consist of four in number, and of 'a well-known form, consisting of two concavo-convex disks solderedtogether, so as to enclose a hollow or air-chamber. between them, and having a central opening in each side for the passage ofthe air-to produce the sound. These openingsmay extend through both sides of the whistle, or they may be made through only one`sicle; but I prefer to make them Vas shown. They are'arranged on the periphery of the buzz -A,1at equal distances from each other, and of course at equal distances from the centre. It will-readily be Aseen the position, size, number, form, 8m., of these whistles and oi' the buzz may be falrnost innitely varied without changing the substantial nature o f the invention.-

The loopB may also be dispensed with or Achanged in form. In the former case holes may be made in the buzz at points diametrically opposite veach other, and at equal distances from the centre, through which the drivingcord may be madeto pass. When this is done, I would recommend that eyelets'be put into theholes 'to prevent the driving-cord from being cut by the edges around lthe holes.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim- The combination of one or more whistles with the toy .known as the buzz, substantially as hereinabove set forth.
