Definitions

  • Dolls or stuffed animal toys equipped with "voice” mechanisms are known. Most such toys on the market use an electrical voice mechanism using an LSI (large scale integrated circuit) for sound generation, and as well as being expensive and requiring a battery, such toys can be less enjoyable because of the rather flat quality of the sound produced.
  • LSI large scale integrated circuit
  • a toy animal, doll or the like having a body portion, means for making a noise when the body portion is pressed, and means for causing a movable member of the toy to move when the body portion is pressed.
  • the toy may be in human form or in the form of a variety of animals, for example a gorilla, pig, or duck, and the noise may be selected as appropriate to the particular form of the toy.
  • the movable member is pivotally mounted relative to a fixed member, the two members together defining lower and upper jaws arranged to be normally closed and to be opened by pivotal movement of the movable member when the body portion is pressed.
  • the jaws may define the mouth of the toy which is normally closed and may be opened by pressing the body portion of the toy, such pressing also causing the noise to be made.
  • the link coupling the lever to the movable member comprises a spring so that return pivoting of the lever to its outward position can occur without closure of the jaws.
  • the means for making a noise may comprise a blowing device operable when the body portion is pressed to blow air past a vibration member, and a resonance chamber for amplifying sound generated by the vibration member.
  • a blowing device operable when the body portion is pressed to blow air past a vibration member
  • a resonance chamber for amplifying sound generated by the vibration member.
  • the blowing device comprises a flexible bag in which is located a resilient filler arranged to restore the bag to its normal shape after it has been distorted by pressing of the body portion.
  • the resilient filler which may be in the form of a sponge, may also assist the return of the lever to its outward position when the body portion is released after being pressed.
  • the resonance chamber is elongate and terminates in the region of the movable member.
  • the toy has a frame to which are secured the means for making a noise and the means for moving the movable member. This enables the components of the toy to be secured together in a compact manner.
  • the toy animal in the form of a gorilla comprises a stuffed body 1, made by die-forming a piece of relatively soft plastic, and covered almost entirely by cloth C.
  • the face F, hands and feet of the body are left uncovered.
  • the body 1 has a belly 2 which is the part to be pressed to cause a noise or "voice" to be made.
  • the lower valve member 12 fits within a lower portion 10B of the upper valve member 13 and is secured thereto by means of an inwardly projecting snap-fit ring 15 of the portion 10B.
  • the outlet 3c of the blowing device 3 is defined by the neck of the wind bag 3a which is secured to the outer surface of the upper valve member 13 by a fixing ring 11.
  • An annular recess 16 in the lower portion 10B of the valve member ensures that the connection is secure.
  • the pipe of the resonance device 5 has an end ring 14 engaging a shoulder of the valve member 13 and is secured to the upper portion of the valve member 13 by means of annular ribs 17 formed on the latter.
  • the pipe is bent through a substantial angle such that its end remote from the valve members is located in the region of the mouth of the toy gorilla.
  • the pipe extends vertically through a passage 10A formed in a frame 9 of the toy.
  • the frame 9 consists of an upper part 9A connected to a lower part 9B by means of ribs 22 which project inwardly from an upper rim 20 of the lower part 9B so as to engage in corresponding recesses 21 formed in the upper part 9A.
  • a lever 6 is pivotally supported on coaxial spindles 25 which extend from supports 24 depending downwardly from the frame upper part. The lever 6 projects downwardly through an opening 23 provided in the frame lower part 9B.
  • a spring 7 provided on the spindles 25 has one end engaging the frame lower part and the other end engaging beneath the lever 6 to urge it outwardly.
  • the free end 6a of the lever is disposed between the belly 2 of the toy gorilla and a portion 18 of the wind bag 3a which is to be pressed.
  • the frame upper part 9A is formed with an outward projection which forms the upper jaw 28 of the mouth of the toy gorilla.
  • a pair of supports 31 for coaxial spindles 32 which pivotally mount at 33 a movable member 8 forming the lower jaw of the mouth.
  • the movable member is linked to the lever 6 by a coil spring 27 which is hooked at one end to a lug 34 of the movable member and at the other end to a lug 35 provided on an upwardly projecting rib 29 of the lever 6.
  • the movable member 8 is thereby linked mechanically to the lever 6 in such a way that when the rib 29 of the lever 6 comes into contact with the frame 9, the movable member which forms a lower jaw is in a closed state against the upper jaw 28.
  • the use of a coil spring for the abovementioned linkage effectively protects from injury a finger caught accidentally between closing upper and lower jaws.
  • pressing the belly 2 of the body 1 causes the blowing device 3 to be compressed, making it work as a kind of pump so that air discharged from this pump causes the vibration member 4 to vibrate, resulting in generation of sound which, after being amplified by the action of the resonance device 5, comes out of the mouth of the body 1 to be heard as the "voice" of the animal. Since the pressing action on the belly 2 also operates the lever 6, the movable lower jaw 8 linked to the other end of the lever 6 through the coil spring 27 is forced to open, i.e. the pressing action leads to opening of the mouth.
  • the controllability of the length of the voice and a unique characteristic of synchronization between the mouth opening and the voice length permit a truely realistic effect to be achieved.
  • the toy is provided with a built-­in simple and compact voice mechanism and an operating device 2 - a part of the body 1 - linked to the movable member 8 which is an element of the mouth. Therefore, the voice can be synchronized with the movement of the movable member 8, allowing a unique and characteristic vocalization. Moreover, the voicing manner can easily be changed by varying the way in which the operating device or belly 2 is handled, thereby providing true fun as a toy. In addition, because the toy requires no battery and complicated devices, a low manufacturing cost can be expected.
