Max Pohlig and Ernst Gottschalk, of Hannover, Germany, Europe, file a patent application on an improved "spring-action hopping stilt". Once approved, the hopping stilt will eventually be re-named the Pogo Stick, in recognition of the first two initials of the inventors' surnames. The invention will provide inspiration for the soundtrack song Hop On Your Pogo Stick in the 1943 Disney short Victory Vehicles, and also for the instrumental Pogo Stick by The Larks on Stacy Records in October 1963, and also for the 2005 musical animation Pogo Sticks by Animusic.
