Patents for butt-kicking machines

The first one looks like a reapply version of one I seen in an 1800's boys amusement book that I had as a kid. Perhaps the American Boys Handybook I'm not sure of that though, but I do remember seeing that in an old book some time back in either the 60's or 70's
Edit:
Had to go to the book shelf and find my Grandfathers copy of The American Boys Handy Book published in 1882, Wow forgot how un-political correct that book is by to-days standards. Not sure if that is a good thing or not!
