Abstract

An emergency toy is provided which consists of a badge simulating an emergency and rescue department emblem. A device is for removably attaching the badge to a garment of a child. An electronic circuit is built within the badge, which when activated by the child during a simulated emergency situation, will relay an audible message that will say "CALL 911", thereby teach and familiarize the child with emergency personnel and the very important emergency telephone number.

1. An emergency toy for electronic communication with a remote receiver located at a distance from a badge, said toy comprising:

a) a badge simulating an emergency and rescue department emblem;

b) means for removably attaching said badge to a garment of a child;

c) an electronic circuit built within said badge, which when activated by the child during a simulated emergency situation will relay an audible message that will say "CALL 911", thereby teach and familiarize the child with emergency personnel and the very important emergency telephone number, wherein said electronic circuit includes;

d) a recessed button switch assembly on said badge;

e) a battery to supply power;

f) a power switch in said circuit on said badge to turn the circuit power on and off;

g) a tape in said circuit having the audible message therein;

h) a speaker on said badge, so that the audible message can be heard therefrom, when said power switch is turned on and said recessed button switch assembly is pressed by the child;

i) a transmitter in said circuit built into said badge, so that and when said electronic circuit is activated said transmitter will send a signal to said remote receiver to alert a person there of the simulated emergency situation, simultaneous with the audible message;

j) said switch assembly includes an exterior button pivotally connected to the badge in combination with an interior contact arm in said circuit whereby inward movement of said button to engage said contact arm activates said circuit.
