Sound-producing soft toy missile
First Claim
1. A toy missile resembling a humanoid figure comprising:
- A. a generally oval torso formed by a fabric casing stuffed with a compressible filler to assume a three-dimensional form;
B. a battery-powered, sound-producing unit provided with an impact sensitive switch which activates the unit only upon impact of the missile;
said unit having digitally stored therein sounds appropriate to the figure;
C. leg and arm fabric appendages hinged to the casing of the torso, the appendages being substantially equi-spaced whereby when a player grasps one of these appendages and whirls the missile to let it fly, the appendages then stretch out from the torso to stabilize the flight, and when the missile is then caught by a player, the resultant impact activates the unit to produce said sounds;
D. a hand-shaped fabric glove joined to each of said arm appendages and filled with beads which act to impart weight to the end of each arm appendage; and
E. a fabric boot joined to each of said leg appendages and filled with beads which act to impart weight to the end of each leg appendage.

Abstract
A toy missile which when let fly by a player and then caught by a catcher, produces upon impact sounds appropriate to the nature of the missile. When in the configuration of a humanoid figure, the missile includes a torso defined by a fabric casing stuffed with a soft filler. Embedded in the stuffing of the torso is a sound-producing unit powered by a battery through an impact-sensitive switch whereby when the missile is caught, on impact the switch then turns the unit on to generate sounds which are appropriate to the figure. Hinged to the torso of the figure and extending therefrom are fabric arm and leg appendages. When the player grasps one of these appendages and whirls the missile to let it fly, the torso of the figure then rotates in the course of flight, causing the appendages to stretch out from the torso to stabilize the flight.
