Patrick G. Kaiser, Highland Michigan

Filed Nov. 16, 1988

It is an object of the present invention to provide a rollable toy tank which includes a flexible, tubular body adapted to be rollably disposed on a supporting medium such as the ground or a water surface. The flexible tubular body comprises a closed loop-shaped band which is open on the transverse sides thereof. The toy tank is adapted to be rolled forward on a supporting medium by a combination forward and downward di- rected force exerted on the internal surface of one end of the tubular body by at least one person crawling inside of the tubular body. The outer surface of the tubular body is provided with transverse treads and in one embodiment the transverse treads are only disposed along each of the outer side portions of the outer surface of the tubular body.

The tubular body of the rollable toy tank may be formed from any suitable material as for example, from a single sheet of solid, buoyant, thermal foam plastic that is folded into a closed loop-shaped band, with the ends of the sheet fixed together. The tubular body of the toy tank may also be formed from a plurality of elon- gated, hollow members which are disposed in a side-by- side relationship to form a closed loop-shaped band, and with adjacent members being fixed together, and wherein said elongated, hollow members are formed from a buoyant, thermal foam plastic material. In a modified embodiment, the tubular body may be formed from a corrugated material with an outer and inner coating of flexible plastic material. The corrugated ma- terial may be a suitable corrugated cardboard or corru- gated plastic material.

Hugh Huffman and Ernest J. Peck, of Portland, Oregon

Application filed July 8, 1915

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Hugh Huffman and Ernest J. Peck, citizens of the United States, and residents of Portland, county of Multnomah, and State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Scarecrows, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to scare crows which are adapted to be used in a garden patch, field, or orchard for the purpose of scaring away intruding birds or animals which might eat or otherwise injure the crop.

Prior to our invention, the scare crows ordinarily used were crude affairs, being generally home-made and not wholly satisfactory.

One of the  main objects of our invention is to provide a more efficient form of scarecrow consisting of a figure formed to resemble a living animal in the posture of approaching its prey.  The means of mounting this scare crow are so arranged that the action of the wind will give various motions to the figure which will simulate the lifelike movements of the animal.  The figure is also provided with an audible alarm which will sound in accordance with the movements of the figure so  as to attract the attention of the intruding birds or animals.
