Directable sound and light toy
First Claim
1. A toy device for simulating a weapon or communicator, said device comprising:
- a handheld toy body having a configuration which supplies a directional orientation for aiming the toy body at a target;
parametric speaker means coupled to the toy body for indirectly generating at least one new sonic frequency from at least two ultrasonic frequencies of different value, said speaker means comprising;
i) an ultrasonic frequency generator;
ii) a sonic frequency generator;
iii) modulating means coupled to the ultrasonic frequency generator and the sonic frequency generator for producing the at least two ultrasonic frequencies of different value;
iv) at least one ultrasonic frequency emitter coupled to the modulating means and aligned for transmission with the directional orientation of the toy body for propagating the at least two ultrasonic frequencies and concurrently generating the new sonic frequency based on interaction between the at least two ultrasonic frequencies within a nonlinear medium of air with a directional sound transmission orientation toward the target;
firing means coupled to the toy body for activating the parametric speaker means to generate the new sonic frequency.

Abstract
A toy device for simulating a weapon which comprises a toy body having a configuration which supplies a directional orientation for aiming the toy body at a target and a parametric speaker. The parametric speaker generates at least one new sonic frequency from at least two ultrasonic frequencies of different value, and projects them directionally toward the targeted area. The speaker comprises i) an ultrasonic frequency generator; ii) a sonic frequency generator; iii) modulating means coupled to the ultrasonic frequency generator and the sonic frequency generator for producing the at least two ultrasonic frequencies of different value; and iv) at least one ultrasonic frequency emitter coupled to the modulating means and aligned for transmission with the directional orientation of the toy body for propagating the at least two ultrasonic frequencies and concurrently generating the new sonic frequency with directional sound transmission orientation toward the target. A firing mechanism is coupled to the toy body for activating the parametric speaker to generate the new sonic frequency. A light source may also be attached to the toy weapon for providing visual targeting where the parametric speaker and light source are in common target alignment.

31. A pointing device having a directional orientation for identifying a distant object by audio detection by indirectly propagating from the distant object at least one new sonic frequency as a by-product of emitting at least two ultrasonic frequencies from an ultrasonic frequency emitter, said device comprised of:
-
an ultrasonic frequency signal source for providing a first ultrasonic frequency signal; supply means for supplying an electrical signal corresponding to the at least one new sonic frequency wave train; modulating means coupled to the ultrasonic frequency signal generator and supply means for combining the first ultrasonic frequency signal with the electrical signal corresponding to the at least one new sonic frequency to thereby generate a second ultrasonic frequency signal; an ultrasonic frequency emitter which is coupled to an output of the modulating means for (i) propagating both the first and second ultrasonic frequency signals, and (ii) generating the at least one new sonic frequency wave train as a by-product of interference between the first and second ultrasonic frequency signals; and a light source having a directional means for focusing light toward an object, said light source and ultrasonic frequency emitter having common directional alignment.
