Abstract
A rotatable rubber stamp device is disclosed which produces a special effect when the stamp is pressed against and/or rolled across a medium to be imprinted therewith. The special effects generated by the stamp can include audible (speech, sound and/or music), visual (light patterns and/or sequences, and displays). A cavity in the plastic handle of the housing of the stamp device contains the electronic circuitry necessary to provide the special effects messages. A sensor, such as a spring-metal, lever-action switch, is affixed within a support bracket for a translatable axle of the rotatable stamp device mount, so as to trigger the electronic circuitry to issue the special effects message in response to the imprinting of a visual image from the rubber stamp upon the desired medium.
Claims13
A rotatable image transfer device capable of generating an imprinted reproduction of at least one image to a target object comprising:
- an image mount,
- a housing having a formed interior region,
- means to rotatably attach said image mount to said housing,
- means affixed to said rotatably attached image mount for transferring said imprinted reproduction of said at least one image to said target object responsive to contact with said target object;
- and
- means, disposed substantially within said formed interior of said housing, responsive to said contact between said transferring means and said target object, for generating at least one non-imprinted message in response to said transfer of said at least one image to said target object, said at least one non-imprinted message specifically associated with said at least one image,
- means in said generating means and in said formed interior for storing said at least one non-imprinted message.
