COMBINATION TOY Original Filed Feb. 14, 1929 having Patented June 24, 1930 JACOB P. BAUER, or JEA A T c o s NETTE, PENNSYLVANIA COMBINATION roY Y Continuation of application Serial No. 339,909, filed I 1929. Serial The present application. is a continuation of my prior application Serial Number 339,- 909, filed Feb. 14 1929, for a combination toy.

This invention likewise relates to a toy portions appealing to diderent senses, formed in the general simulation of a telephone but characterized by the features hereinafter set forth.

One object of the invention is to provide a toy which is both amusing and useful.

Another object is to provide a toy appeal- I ing to different senses simultaneously or successively such as the senses of sight, of sound, and of taste.

Still further obj ects reside in providing simple parts easily put together and cheaply made yet fulfilling all the present objects.

Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter apparent or will be pointed out as the description proceeds.

In general a hollow glass standard is threaded exteriorly at its upper portion and interiorly in its lower portion. A metallic cap piece-is threaded on the top ofjthe standard to which is suitably attached a wooden mouthpiece portion. A bell is screwed in the lower portion of the standard. The hollow standard may be suitably filled with a confection and a hook and receiver depend from the cap piece.

The subject matter of the present application is illustrated in the accompanying drawingwherein; v

Figure 1 is a partial vertical section and partial elevation of a device embodying the In'esen't invention;

Figure 2 is a fragmentary view per portion of the device; and

Figure 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Figure 1 looking in the'direction ofthe'arrows.

Referring to the drawin s in detail, 10 in dicates a hollow glass standard of generally cylindrical shape. The topportion isjof slightly less diameter than the main body portion and is exterior-1y threaded at 11. The threads may be molded in the glass or formedv in any suitable or convenient manner. At the bottom of the standard,'it is interiorly threaded at 12 for a portion ofits height,

of the up February 14, 1929. This applieation filed April 24, No. 357,779.

these threads likewise being molded in the glass or otherwise suitably formed. 7

A concave-convex metallic bell 13 forms the base of the toy. Centrally of its upper surface an exteriorly threaded projection'lt rises therefrom which screws into the lower interiorly threaded portion 12 of standard 10. Centrally 0f the under surface of the bell 13 depends a clapperor striker 15, as by, insertion in an apertured lug 16.

Screwed on the exterior threads 11 at the top of hollow glass standard 10 isa cap piece 7 17 preferably made of lead. This assumes the form shown and is interiorly threaded at 18 for the reception of the standard. WV hen in place a substantially flush arrange; ment is secured. This cap piece may be formed-0f a single integral piece, may be pivoted at a joint near the top thereof, or may simulate a pivot. lnany event, the end of .the cap piece 17 may be reduced to a screwlike member 19 which screws into a mouthpiece-like member 20, of the configuration shown. This latter may be preferably of wood, but could be otherwise such as rubber.

A hanger or hook 21 is screwed intothe cap piece 17 and a receiver-like member 22; depends therefrom by means of an eye 23. A cord 24 leads from the eye 23 and is wedged at its other end betweenthe screwed per-- tions12 and 14.

The hollow glass standard 10 may be filled with a confection 25 or with an article of food I or other suitable or similar material.

It is clear from the foregoing that the bellmay be rung by shaking the device whereby clapper 15 strikes bell 13. The device may be readily assembled and disassembled. The contents of the hollow glass standard 10 may be removed either by unscrewing cap piece 17 or hell 13.-

illustrated its use, what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent of the United States is:

A combined toy telephone and receptacle comprising a hollow metallic bell-like base, a medially positioned and upwardly extending and exteriorly threaded boss formed on said base, a sleeve having one end threaded upon said boss which provides a closure for such sleeve end, a removable mouthpiecesimulating and receiver-carrying closure for the other end of said sleeve, and a clapper pivotally secured to said boss within'said belllike base.

In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand this 22nd day of April, 1929.

JACOB P. BAUER. [11. s]
