Abstract
A toy play set comprising a master toy member and two or more accessory toy members. The master toy member comprises a power source, an audio driving circuit and an audio transducer. Each of said accessory toy member is configured to receive power from said master toy member by contact and to provide visual response and/or an audio sound through a speaker located at said master toy member.
Claims40
A method of playing with a toy play set comprises the steps of:
- (1) providing a body, a sound transducer, a power source and at least first and second conductive contacts to a master toy member;
- (2) providing a first circuit means and at least two conductive contacts to a first accessory toy member for receiving power from said master toy member and for said first accessory toy member to provide a mechanical or visual response effect;
- wherein the conductive contacts of said first accessory toy member are positioned to make contact with the conductive contacts of said master toy member;
- (3) providing a second circuit means and at least two conductive contacts to a second accessory toy member for receiving power from said master toy member and for said master toy member to generate a sound according to data provided by said second circuit means;
- wherein the conductive contacts of said second accessory toy member are positioned to make contact with said conductive contacts of said master toy member;
- (4) moving the body of said master toy member for said at least first and second conductive contacts to make contact with the conductive contacts of said first accessory toy member for providing power to said first accessory toy member and for said first accessory toy member to produce the mechanical or visual effect of step (2);
- (5) moving the body of said master toy member for it's conductive contacts to make contact with the conductive contacts of said second accessory toy member for providing power to said second accessory toy member to generate the sound of step (3).
