First Claim
Patent Images
1. A luminous toy comprising:
- a toy body provided with a piezoelectric element which induces a voltage when it is strained, a rectifying circuit for rectifying the voltage generated from said piezoelectric element, a capacitor for smoothing the voltage rectified by said rectifying circuit and a luminous element connected in parallel to said capacitor; and
a strain generating means for generating strain for straining said piezoelectric element wherein said generating means is arranged in the toy body and includes a movable engageable element adjacent to the piezoelectric element, said engageable element being moved to engage with the piezoelectric element to thereby strain the piezoelectric element.

Abstract
A luminous toy capable of emitting light at any time anywhere without having to worry about a power shortage and failing to turn off a switch and capable of preventing environmental pollution. The luminous toy includes a toy body provided with a piezoelectric element which induces a voltage when it is strained, a rectifying circuit for rectifying the voltage generated from the piezoelectric element, a capacitor for smoothing the voltage rectified by the rectifying circuit and a luminous element connected in parallel to the capacitor. The luminous toy also includes a strain generating mechanism for generating strain for straining the piezoelectric element.
