Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toy figure with music and / or speech for sound output via a sound output device.
  • a toy figure is known from DE-GM 87 02 429, which has a sound delivery device connected to a storage device and a sound recording device connected to the storage device.
  • This toy figure is suitable for recording music or spoken information with the aid of the sound recording device, storing it in the storage device and making it audible again with the aid of the sound delivery device.
  • this well-known toy figure it is possible to either record melodies or spoken messages, save them and call them up again at the appropriate time. This may result in good playing possibilities, but a child playing with such a toy figure is not expected to calm down with such a toy figure.
  • FR 25 38 711 describes a speaking doll whose body has a receiver connected to a transmitter.
  • the connection between the transmitter and the receiver is made in a known manner by means of radio waves.
  • the transmitter is, for example, intended to emit the signals of a spoken message and a message picked up by a microphone. This message can be picked up by the receiver arranged in the doll and converted into corresponding sound signals.
  • an electromechanical control circuit for emulating an animal's voice and the movement sequence of the mouth of the animal during the casting of the voice is known.
  • a synchronizing device is provided there so that the movement sequence of the mouth part is correctly synchronized with the voting.
  • a frictional drive is provided to be able to interrupt the movement of the animal's mouth at any time.
  • a toy in particular a teddy bear, is known from GB 20 45 098, electrically conductive paws being provided which trigger the teddy bear to sing or speak when its paws are held. At the same time, his eyes can blink.
  • the paws inside the teddy bear are connected to a voltage source and a current sensor.
  • a microprocessor is provided to generate the tones or to make the eyes blink.
  • Dolls or similar toys that emulate accompanying tones or voices are known from US Pat. No. 4,717,363.
  • An infrared ray detector is placed near a cheek of the doll or toy to absorb the heat radiated from a child.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a toy figure of the type mentioned at the outset, with which, in particular, a calming of a child is possible, which in extreme cases leads to the child becoming asleep.
  • the music and / or speech is connected to a sound detector, by means of which the music and / or speech can be activated for a predetermined period of time from a certain minimum volume of ambient noise, and in the activated state of the music - And / or speech, the sound detector is inactive and the volume of the tone sequence emitted by the sound output device decreases continuously or stepwise during the active state of the music and / or speech.
  • the music and / or speech is then activated when a child claps their hands, for example, or especially when a child starts to cry.
  • a sound is emitted via the sound delivery device, which is, for example, a calming melody or a calming word or a fairy tale or the like. This results in a calming of a child in the vicinity of the toy figure or a child playing with the toy figure, which in extreme cases leads to the child falling asleep.
  • the volume of the tone sequence emitted by the sound output device decreases continuously or stepwise during the active state of the music and / or speech.
  • This continuous or gradual decrease in volume leads to the fact that the child's attention is reduced, which results in the desired calming of the child.
  • the volume is within a certain range of the tone sequence, for example within a melody, in the scope of certain calming sentences or the like. remains the same, whereby the same or different melodies as well as the same or different calming sentences follow at a lower volume until the volume finally drops to zero or the music and / or speaking system switches from active to inactive state after the specified period of time.
  • This period of time may, for example, be of the order of four minutes. Of course, this period of time can also be shorter or longer.
  • the music and / or intercom can be a music IC module.
  • Such music IC modules are known per se. They have only a small space requirement and advantageously only a small output, so that they can be accommodated in any toy figure without problems and can be operated, for example, with batteries which have a long service life due to the low power consumption.
  • the toy figure according to the invention can be provided with at least one light-emitting element which can be switched on by means of the sound detector.
  • the at least one light-emitting element is preferably around a light-emitting diode with low power consumption.
  • the luminosity of the light-emitting element can decrease during the active state of the music and / or speech.
  • the luminosity of the light-emitting element can change in accordance with the tone sequence generated by the sound delivery device. This means that the luminosity can also decrease continuously or in stages in accordance with the tone sequence emitted by the tone emitting device. This can also help to reassure a child, because it is not only acoustically that is achieved, but also optically.
  • FIG. 1 shows a toy figure 10 in the form of a teddy bear, which contains in its interior a device 14 having a housing 12.
  • the device 14 provided in the housing 12 is described below in connection with FIG. 2.
  • light-emitting elements 16 are arranged, which are, for example, light-emitting diodes known per se.
  • the light emitting elements are more flexible by means of Connection lines 18, which run inside the teddy bear 10, are electrically conductively connected to the device 14.
  • the housing 12 of the device 14 has at least one hole 20 or preferably two holes 20, which are explained below in connection with FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 2 shows the device 14 in a block diagram, which has a music and / or speech mechanism 22, a sound output device 24 and a sound detector 26.
  • An energy source 28 is connected to the music and / or speech mechanism 22 via the sound detector 26, this connection being indicated by the arrows 30.
  • the sound delivery device 24 is connected to the music and / or speech mechanism 22, which is indicated schematically by the arrow 32.
  • the light-emitting element 16 is also connected to the music and / or intercom 22 by means of the connecting line 18. Only one light-emitting element 16 is indicated in FIG.
  • the housing 12 of the device 14 is formed with a hole 20 which is provided in the vicinity of the sound detector 26. In addition, the housing 12 has a second hole 20, in the vicinity of which the sound output device 24 is located.
  • the music and / or speech mechanism 22 is, in particular, a music IC module known per se, which or the like with various melodies, stories. can be programmed.
  • the music and / or speech mechanism 22 is activated by means of the sound detector 26. If a certain noise level is exceeded in the vicinity of the toy figure 10, which is indicated by the wavy arrow 34 in FIG. 2, the sound detector 26 becomes this noise level 34 acted upon, whereby the music and / or speech 22 is activated. This activation exists during a certain period of time. During this period, a melody or a melody sequence or a narrative or the like, for example, is generated with the aid of the music and / or speech mechanism 22 via the sound output device 24. emitted, which is indicated by the wavy arrow 36 in Figure 2. At the same time, the light-emitting element 16 can be excited to emit light.
  • Reference numeral 38 in FIG. 2 denotes a compartment provided in the housing 12, in which the energy source 28 is accommodated separately from the other elements 22, 24 and 26, for example in the form of at least one battery.
