Abstract
A steam locomotive-whistle model and toy providing realism in appearance in sound and operation of a real locomotive, by responding to blowing effort by the mouth or of a balloon which operates parts to run the locomotive and to emit sounds exactly simulating those of a real locomotive. It includes a smokestack and detachable cover, simulating smoke, to prevent air from escaping through its inlet hole. Also it includes a rear air intake pipe which is blown by the mouth to force air into an air chamber, thence into air ports and a cylinder to cause a piston to move away from the air inlet end of the cylinder.
Claims8
A steam locomotive-whistle model and toy comprising an air chamber a smoke-stack in air communication with said chamber and a detachable, solid closure member therefor simulating smoke, which closure member, when in place, prevents air from escaping said chamber through said smokestack;
- a rear intake pipe which when blown by the mouth forces air into said air chamber;
- a reciprocating piston and cylinder drive in air communication with said air chamber on each side of said model and toy, whereby upon selective introduction of air through either said smokestack or rear intake pipe and said reciprocating piston and cylinders, said reciprocating piston and cylinders will operate from the movement of air.
