147. Sandow, E. Jan. 4. Exercising-apparatus.-Relates to the exercising and sweet-delivery apparatus described in Specification 26,113/12, and consists in making the limbs of the figure of elastic material to serve as the exerciser, so that no part of the apparatus is arranged inside the figure. The delivery mechanism is also modified. The limbs of the figure consist either of coiled springs 28, Fig. 1, or of elastic cords, and are fastened either to eyelets screwed into the body or tc rocking parts 29 which fit into sockets 5 in the body portion. A spring 32 holds the part 29 together and draws them into the sockets. The delivery mechanism consists of a shoot 36, Fig. 3. for the sweets, which are prevented from falling out by two stops 42, 43. The stops are alternately removed from the shoot, to discharge the sweets, by a cam which is operated by an oscillating lever 45 connected by a cord 60 with one of the hands of the figure. After a predetermined number of movements of the exerciser, a bell is sounded and a sweet is discharged from the shoot into the mouth of the figure.
