Abstract

This invention is a moving-character sound structure, involving mainly a mechanical unit. On the surface of the mechanical unit is an animal character. The eyes and mouth of the character are movable. The eyes and mouth of the character are connected to a transmission mechanism composed of a swing rod, a spring and a motor. Inside the mechanical unit are various circuits for radio, tape recorder, vocal IC, karaoke, and a driving circuit. When the push keys on the mechanical unit are pushed to select specific sound function giving off sound, the driving motor analyzes the specific frequency and activates the motor to rotate intermittently, causing the eyes and mouth of the character to open and close intermittently.

Claims

1. A moving-character sound structure, comprising:

a mechanical unit, on which surface being a display window, inside said display window being a three-dimensional character in the configuration of an animal, the eyes, mouth and other parts of said character being able to move, said parts being connected to driving mechanisms;

a transmission mechanism, having a curved swing rod, the front end of the swing rod being connected to the moving parts of the character, a part near the end being connected by a connecting rod to a rotating disc that is framed to the driving shaft of the motor, the bottom end near the end of the swing rod being connected by a spring to the bottom of the mechanical unit; and

a driving circuit, providing specific frequencies for analysis of the sounds/voices, to drive the motor to rotate intermittently;

which are so assembled in a way that, when the driving circuit drives the motor to move intermittently, the swing rod will move up and down, causing the eyes, mouth and other parts of the character to open and close, adding much fun when the user is listening to radio or other musical effects.

2. The moving-character sound structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein, said driving circuit is connected to various functions, such as radio, tape recorder, vocal IC, sound recording IC circuit, karaoke device, etc. to take up specific frequencies of different sound signals.
