Abstract
A toy with electronic sensing mechanism is disclosed. Specifically, the toy can detect the presence of an electrically conductive material and respond accordingly. Particularly disclosed is the use of modeling dough as the conductive material which allows a broad flexibility of play and response.
Claims2
1) A toy with electronic sensing mechanism comprising:
- A) A main unit;
- B) A controller located in the main unit;
- B) A first contact which is electrically connected to the controller and which is mounted in the main unit so as to be able to contact a conducting material in contact with the first contact;
- and,
- C) A second contact which is electrically connected to the controller and which is mounted in the main unit so as to be able to contact the conducting material when the conducting material is in physical contact with the first contact such that the conducting material, the first contact, the second contact, and the controller form a complete electrical circuit.
