Abstract
A toy including a mirror of the type which reflects light from its front surface when there is darkness behind it and which becomes transparent when there is light behind it. A representation, such as of a face, is behind the mirror as is a light source. An electrical sound-producing mechanism is associated with the mirror. The light source is normally deenergized and the sound-producing mechanism inoperative. A switch is provided for simultaneously energizing the light source and for actuating the sound-producing means.
Claims11
A sound-producing mirror toy, comprising:
- (a) a base,
- (b) a housing movably mounted on said base,
- (c) a mirror comprising one wall of said housing, said mirror being of the type which reflects light from its front surface when there is darkness behind it and which becomes transparent when there is light behind it, said mirror comprising a transparent sheet carrying a metal coating, and said mirror being planar so that it faithfully reflects the image of a person looking at it,
- (d) a representation within said housing behind said mirror,
- (e) a light source within said housing behind said mirror,
- (f) an electrical sound-producing mechanism, and
- (g) means for simultaneously energizing said light source, to make said representation visible through said mirror, and for actuating said sound producing mechanism.
A sound-producing mirror toy, comprising:
- a base,
- two upstanding posts on said base,
- a housing pivotally supported between the upper ends of said posts,
- a representation of a face within said housing,
- a light source within said housing,
- a mirror on the front of said housing of the type which reflects light from its front surface when the interior of the housing is dark and through which said representation is visible when said light source is energized,
- a talking mechanism within said base capable of producing a plurality of spoken messages,
- a push button on said talking mechanism which each time it is depressed causes a randomly selected one of said spoken messages to be produced,
- a power source within said housing,
- switch means between said power source and said light source, and
- means carried by said housing and responsive to pivotal movement thereof for simultaneously closing said switch to energize said light source and for depressing said push button to cause a spoken message to be produced.

- (b) a housing movably mounted on said base,
- (c) a mirror comprising one wall of said housing, said mirror being of the type which reflects light from its front surface when there is darkness behind it and which becomes transparent when there is light behind it,
- (d) a representation within said housing behind said mirror,
- (e) a light source within said housing behind said mirror,
- (f) an electrical sound-producing mechanism, and
- (g) means responsive to movement of said housing with respect to said base for simultaneously energizing said light source, to make said representation visible through said mirror, and for actuating said sound producing mechanism.
