Abstract

A simple device producing both action effect and electronic effect includes a housing, an elastic driving mechanism and an electronic control circuit with a vibration sensor. The elastic driving mechanism has an elastic member, a transmitting shaft, a power input device, an eccentric action member. The electronic cir-control circuit has a circuit board, the vibration sensor, a battery and a function device. The elastic member stores and releases energy, and a changed energy is produced in the storing and releasing process. The eccentric member is connected to the output shaft of the elastic driving mechanism and rotated by the changed energy to produce vibration or jumping phenomenon. Then the vibration sensor senses the vibration phenomenon and triggers a signal of changing its own condition and starts the electronic circuit to produce function to let the function device perform preset action or function.

Dependent claims

A simple device for producing both an action effect and an electronic effect comprising a housing, an elastic driving mechanism with an elastic member, and an electronic control circuit having a vibration sensor;

said housing containing said elastic driving mechanism with said elastic member and said electronic control circuit with said vibration sensor;
said elastic driving mechanism including
an elastic member for storing and releasing resilient force and producing changeable energy in the storing and releasing process;
a transmitting shaft and an output shaft, said transmitting shaft connected to said elastic member for changing the condition of said elastic member, said elastic member recovering an original condition when a force applied to said transmitting shaft is removed;
said output shaft being rotated by said transmitting shaft and connected to an eccentric action means for permitting said elastic driving mechanism to produce a preset action;
a power input mechanism connected to said transmitting shaft for receiving an exterior force and causing said transmitting shaft to rotate;
and
said eccentric action means being connected to and rotatable by said output shaft for producing an unbalanced rotation to cause vibration, and said vibration forcing said elastic driving mechanism to move said simple device and produce an action.
