Abstract

A simulation toy includes an electromagnet received in a slot on the body of the toy and attached with a permanent magnet mounted flush with the toy, a control circuit controlled by a snap switch reciprocates a reciprocating rod through the electromagnet in pushing the permanent magnet out of the slot for showing a red colored area simulating a wound and simultaneously activate a speaker for making a sound simulating the crying of a child.

Claims

1. A simulation toy comprising:

a) a toy having an outside surface and a slot formed therein;

b) an electromagnet disposed within the slot, the electromagnet including a red-colored iron plate, a permanent magnet attached to the iron plate a reciprocating rod, a rubber cushion covering the reciprocating rod, a wire coil for reciprocating the reciprocating rod to push the permanent magnet away from the toy;

c) a control circuit including a first transistor, a first output terminal connected to the wire coil through the first transistor, a second transistor, a speaker, a second output terminal connected to the speaker through the second transistor, a snap switch, a power supply, and an input terminal connected to the power supply through the snap switch; and

d) wherein the snap switch is triggered when the toy is struck or falls, thereby causing the control circuit to drive the reciprocating rod in pushing the permanent magnet away from the toy and simultaneously activating the speaker to make a sound.

2. The simulation toy of claim 1 wherein said control circuit comprises a process controller controlled by said snap switch to produce a shift pulse in driving a count and shift register to obtain a prestored speech signal and the number of times in repeating the speech signal from a speech processor, causing said speech processor to give an output signal to an encoder for driving a digital analog converter via a shift register, permitting said digital analog converter to produce an audio output signal for output through said speaker via said second transistor, the operational sequence of said control circuit being controlled by a clock generator.
