The present invention provides a melodic novelty party-favor article comprising a housing and an electronic circuit assembly. The housing contains the electronic circuit assembly, which comprises a power source, an integrated circuit unit, a sound production means and a switch mechanism. The switching mechanism comprises two electrically conductive ends and a resistor, wherein the conductive ends are contiguously placed on an outer surface portion of the housing and are not in contact with each other, whereby the circuit assembly is activated by simultaneously contacting the two electrically conductive ends with an electrically conductive article.
Claims14
A melodic novelty article, comprising a body including a gripping portion for providing a handgrip along said body, said gripping portion having a generally elongated shape;
- and an electronic circuit assembly mounted in said body and including an integrated circuit unit, which is programed with at least one sound sequence, sound producing means for receiving said sound sequence from said integrated circuit unit and converting same to audible sounds, and a normally open switch connected to said integrated circuit unit for activating same and having a pair of conductive ends, which are contiguously located in said gripping portion, said conductive ends being spaced apart such that they are electrically connected to each other when a person grips said gripping portion, thereby closing said switch and hence activating said circuit assembly to produce audible sounds.
