Magnetic switch and apparatus including magnetic switch
First Claim
1. A magnetic switch comprising:
- (a) a first conductor;
(b) a second conductor spaced apart from the first conductor;
(c) a first magnet disposed under the first and second conductors; and
(d) a second movable magnet adapted to move the first magnet so that the first and second conductors form a conductive bridge.

Abstract
A magnetic switch and children'"'"'s apparatuses, such as print media apparatuses and plush dolls, which include magnetic switches are disclosed. One magnetic switch includes a first conductor and a second conductor spaced apart from the first conductor. A third conductor is disposed under the first and second conductors, the third conductor being formed from a magnetic material. A magnet is also included, the magnet being adapted to move the third conductor towards the first and second conductors so as to form a conductive bridge. Another magnetic switch includes a first conductor and a second conductor spaced apart from the first conductor. A first magnet is disposed under the first and second conductors. A second magnet is also included, the second magnet being adapted to move the first magnet so that the first and second conductors form a conductive bridge.
