Electronic sound-generating simulated baby bottle toy
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electronic simulated baby bottle toy for electronically generating human-like sounds comprising:
- a generally cylindrically-shaped hollow housing portion simulating a nurser bottle;
a generally nipple-shaped member mounted on one end of the housing portion;
sound transducer means covered by the housing portion and the nipple-shaped member and located proximal the nipple-shaped member for generating sounds proximal the nipple-shaped member, said sounds appearing to come from an object when the bottle toy is used to simulate feeding of the object;
circuit means within the housing portion coupled with the sound transducer means for generating a signal controlling the sound transducer means to produce a human-like sound, anda plurality of switch means actable from outside the toy for selectively activating the circuit means to control the sound transducer means.

Abstract
An electronic simulated baby bottle toy generates human-like sounds and includes a cylindrically-shaped hollow housing portion with a nipple-shaped member mounted on one end of the housing portion to simulate a nurser bottle. Four microswitches within the toy can be individually activated by applying pressure to the nipple member or to a flexible cover on the side of the housing portion. The switches selectively activate a VLSI synthesizer chip which generates any of four signals. Each signal controls a sound transducer causing the transducer to generate a selected human-like sound.

14. An electronic simulated baby bottle toy for electronically generating a plurality of human-like sounds comprising:
-
a generally cylindrically-shaped hollow housing portion simulating a nurser bottle; a generally nipple-shaped member mounted on one end of the housing portion; sound transducer means within the housing portion and nipple-shaped member for generating sounds within the toy; circuit means within the housing portion and coupled with the sound transducer means, the circuit means being configured for generating a plurality of signals controlling the sound transducer means to produce a plurality of different human-like sounds; and a plurality of switch means selectively controllable from outside the housing portion and nipple-shaped member for selectively activating the circuit means to selectively produce any of the plurality of different human-like sounds, at least one of the switch means being located within the nipple-switch member for activation by contacting the nipple-shaped member. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
