Multi-purpose, universally applicable re-recordable, audible, message delivery system

A multi-purpose, re-recordable, audible message delivery system for enabling individuals to specialize or personalize a message for delivery to another, said system comprising

• A. circuit means
• a. constructed for repeatedly recording and retaining an audio signal and delivering said recorded signal,
• b. responsive to a play activation signal for activating said circuit means to deliver a previously recorded audio signal,
• c. responsive to a record activation signal for enabling said circuit means to receive and record an audible message, and
• d. comprising a power source;
• B. first switch means
• a. movable between an off position and an on position, and
• b. connected to said circuit means for transmitting thereto said play activation signal whenever said switch means is in its on position;
• C. second switch means
• a. movable between an off position and an on position, and
• b. connected to the circuit means for transmitting thereto said record activation signal whenever the second switch means is in its on position;
• D. a housing
• a. supportingly retaining and protecting the circuit means,
• b. providing easy access to said first and second switch means,
• c. being movably positionable into a cooperating holding means,
• d. peripherally surrounding and fully enveloping said circuit means, forming a completely self-contained message delivery system capable of being employed either independently or in association with a plurality of alternate products, and
• e. comprising a pivotable flap member
• 1. positioned along one edge of the housing in movably connected engagement therewith,
• 2. movable between a first, closed, housing overlying position and a second, open, housing-adjacent position,
• 3. comprising a free edge in juxtaposed, spaced, adjacent relationship with the edge engaged with the housing, and
• 4. controllably connected to said first switch means for activating the switch means whenever the flap member is moved from its first, closed position to its second, open position;
• and
• E. holding means comprising a first and a second pivotally engaged member mounted in cooperating association with each other and movable between a first, members overlying, closed, position and a second, members adjacent, open position, and further defined as
• a. the first member comprising a cavity formed therein for securely retaining the housing of the audible message delivery system enabling said housing to be easily positioned and securely retained therein for cooperating, associated use therewith,
• b. the second member comprising a cavity for receiving the free edge of the flap member and securely retaining the flap member therein, with said flap member being movable between its first and its second positions simultaneously with the movement of the first and second members between their first and second positions, and
• c. one of said members comprising retaining means for supportingly holding or retaining conventional items for which said holding means is created;
• whereby a multi-purpose, re-recordable audible message delivery system is attained which is capable of being easily employed by any individual for recording any desired audible message as well as delivering the audible message upon demand whenever the pivotal members of the holding means are opened.
