Figure toy

Abstract

A figure toy generating a sound and an underwater sound when being sunk in water. The figure toy which can float on a water, comprises: a toy body ( 1 ) composed so that a water can flow into an interior thereof when the toy body is sunk in a water; a water sensor ( 22 ) provided at the interior of the toy body, for detecting an entrance of a water to a predetermined position at the interior of the toy body; and a sound generation member ( 18 ) for generating a sound according as the water sensor detects the entrance of the water or not.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A figure toy which can float on a water, comprising: 
 a toy body composed so that a water can flow into an interior thereof when the toy body is sunk in a water;    a water sensor provided at the interior of the toy body, for detecting an entrance of a water to a predetermined position at the interior of the toy body; and    a sound generation member for generating a sound according as the water sensor detects the entrance of the water or not.    
     
     
         2 . A figure toy as claimed in    claim 1   , wherein the toy body is formed so as to imitate any one of a human, an animal and an animated character, and the water sensor is provided at a position in or above a height corresponding to an mouse portion of the toy body.  
     
     
         3 . A figure toy as claimed in clam  1 , wherein the sound generated from the sound generation member includes an underwater sound.  
     
     
         4 . A figure toy as claimed in    claim 1   , wherein the sound generation member generates a normal sound when the water sensor does not detect the entrance of the water, and a sound including an underwater sound when the water sensor detects the entrance of the water.  
     
     
         5 . A figure toy as claimed in    claim 1   , wherein the sound generation member generates the sound intermittently at certain intervals a predetermined time.  
     
     
         6 . A figure toy as clamed in    claim 1   , wherein the sound generation member generates the sound continuously for a predetermined time.  
     
     
         7 . A figure toy which can float on a water, comprising: 
 a toy body composed so that a water can flow into an interior thereof when the toy body is sunk in a water;    a water sensor provided at the interior of the toy body, for detecting an entrance of a water to a predetermined position at the interior of the toy body; and    a sound generation member for generating a sound, and changing the sound generated thereby when the water sensor detects the entrance of the water.    
     
     
         8 . A figure toy as claimed in    claim 1   , further comprising: 
 a plurality of water sensors provided at a plurality of different positions from one another in a height thereof, on the interior of the toy body;    wherein the sound generation member generates a different sound according as the water sensor provided at the position in a depth wherein the toy body is sunk in the water detects the entrance of the water or not.    
     
     
         9 . A figure toy as claimed in    claim 7   , further comprising: 
 a plurality of water sensors provided at a plurality of different positions from one another in a height thereof, on the interior of the toy body;    wherein the sound generation member generates a different sound according as the water sensor provided at the position in a depth wherein the toy body is sunk in the water detects the entrance of the water or not.    
     
     
         10 . A figure toy as claimed in    claim 1   , further comprising: 
 a light emission member for emitting a light when the water sensor detects the entrance of the water.    
     
     
         11 . A figure toy as claimed in    claim 7   , further comprising: 
 a light emission member for emitting a light when the water sensor detects the entrance of the water.    
     
     
         12 . A figure toy as claimed in    claim 1   , further comprising: 
 a drive member for moving a predetermined portion of the toy body when the water sensor detects the entrance of the water.    
     
     
         13 . A figure toy as claimed in    claim 7   , further comprising: 
 a drive member for moving a predetermined portion of the toy body when the water sensor detects the entrance of the water.
