A toy device for simulating a weapon which comprises a toy body having a configuration which supplies a directional orientation for aiming the toy body at a target and a parametric speaker. The parametric speaker generates at least one new sonic frequency from at least two ultrasonic frequencies of different value, and projects them directionally toward the targeted area. The speaker comprises i) an ultrasonic frequency generator; ii) a sonic frequency generator; iii) modulating means coupled to the ultrasonic frequency generator and the sonic frequency generator for producing the at least two ultrasonic frequencies of different value; and iv) at least one ultrasonic frequency emitter coupled to the modulating means and aligned for transmission with the directional orientation of the toy body for propagating the at least two ultrasonic frequencies and concurrently generating the new sonic frequency with directional sound transmission orientation toward the target. A firing mechanism is coupled to the toy body for activating the parametric speaker to generate the new sonic frequency. A light source may also be attached to the toy weapon for providing visual targeting where the parametric speaker and light source are in common target alignment.
A toy device for simulating a weapon or communicator, said device comprising:
A pointing device having a directional orientation for identifying a distant object by audio detection by indirectly propagating from the distant object at least one new sonic frequency as a by-product of emitting at least two ultrasonic frequencies from an ultrasonic frequency emitter, said device comprised of:
