Abstract
An electronic toy adapted to receive a toy figure comprises a source of electrical power, an integrated circuit chip programmed with pre-recorded sounds, sound reproduction means under the control of the integrated circuit chip, switch means adapted to open or close an electrical circuit to control the flow of electrical power from the source of electrical power to the integrated circuit and sound reproduction means, and trigger means adapted to activate the switch means, such that when the toy figure is placed into contact with the trigger means, the switch means is closed to create an electrical circuit and sounds are generated by the sound reproduction means under the control of the integrated circuit.
Claims25
An electronic toy adapted to receive a toy figure comprises:
- (a) a source of electrical power;
- (b) an integrated circuit chip programmed with prerecorded sounds;
- (c) sound reproduction means under the control of the integrated circuit chip;
- (d) switch means adapted to open or close an electrical circuit to control the flow of electrical power from the source of electrical power to the integrated circuit and sound reproduction means;
- and
- (e) trigger means adapted to activate the switch means;
- such that when the toy figure is placed into contact with the trigger means, the switch means is closed to create an electrical circuit and sounds are created by the sound reproduction means under the control of the integrated circuit.
An electronic toy vehicle adapted to receive a doll or action figure comprising:
- (a) an electrical storage battery comprising a source of electrical power;
- (b) an integrated circuit chip programmed with prerecorded sounds;
- (c) first and second audio speakers adapted to reproduce sounds based on signals from the integrated circuit chip;
- (d) said first audio speaker being located proximate a vehicle seat adapted to receive the doll, and being dedicated to reproducing sounds corresponding to simulated speech of the doll;
- (e) said second audio speaker being located remotely from said vehicle seat, and being dedicated to reproducing sounds other than simulated speech of the doll;
- (f) switch means adapted to open or close an electrical circuit to control the flow of electrical power from the source to the integrated circuit and the audio speakers;
- and
- (g) trigger means adapted to activate the switch means;
- such that when the toy vehicle receives the doll, a portion of the doll contacts the trigger means to close the switch means and initiate production of sounds.

- (d) said first audio speaker being located remote from a vehicle seat adapted to receive the doll, and being dedicated to reproducing sounds corresponding to simulated speech of the doll;
- (e) said second audio speaker being located proximate said vehicle seat, and being dedicated to reproducing sounds other than simulated speech of the doll;
- (f) switch means adapted to open or close an electrical circuit to control the flow of electrical power from the source to the integrated circuit and the audio speakers;
- and
- (g) trigger means adapted to activate the switch means;
- such that when the toy vehicle receives the doll, a portion of the doll contacts the trigger means to close the switch means and initiate production of sounds.
