Abstract

A toy bomb ( 10 ) having a container ( 12 ) which has a removable container top ( 12 T), a container side ( 12 S), and a container bottom ( 12 B) securely attached to a bottom distal end of the container side ( 12 S). The container ( 12 ) further has a container top biasing means ( 12 TB). A battery ( 20 ) is positioned within the container ( 12 ). A microchip ( 18 ) is electrically connected to the battery ( 20 ). At least one light ( 14 ) is electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 ). A solenoid ( 14 B) is electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 ). The solenoid ( 14 B) is securely attached to an inner wall of the container side ( 12 S). The solenoid ( 14 B) further has a retractable piston. A piston ( 14 A) having a ring therearound is positioned within the container ( 12 ) slightly below and adjacent to the solenoid ( 14 B). The container top biasing means ( 12 TB) is positioned within the container ( 12 ) at the bottom of the piston ( 14 A). At least one speaker ( 16 ) electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 ). An ON/OFF switch ( 26 ) electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 ). Software contained within the microchip ( 18 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A toy bomb ( 10 ) comprising a container ( 12 ) which comprises a removable container top ( 12 T), a container side ( 12 S), and a container bottom ( 12 B) securely attached to a bottom distal end of the container side ( 12 S), the container ( 12 ) further comprises a container top biasing means ( 12 TB); 
 A) a battery ( 20 ) is positioned within the container ( 12 );    B) a microchip ( 18 ) electrically connected to the battery ( 20 );    C) at least one light ( 14 ) electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 );    D) a solenoid ( 14 B) electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 ), the solenoid ( 14 B) is securely attached to an inner wall of the container side ( 12 S), the solenoid ( 14 B) further comprises a retractable member, a piston ( 14 A) having a ring therearound is positioned within the container ( 12 ) slightly below and adjacent to the solenoid ( 14 B), the container top biasing means ( 12 TB) is positioned within the container ( 12 ) at the bottom of the piston ( 14 A);    E) at least one speaker ( 16 ) electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 );    F) an ON/OFF switch ( 26 ) electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 ); and    G) software contained within the microchip ( 18 ), the software consisting of the following steps: 
 I) producing ( 112 ) a random sequence of light flashes by sending an electrical signal from the microchip ( 18 ) to the at least two lights ( 14 ),  
 ii) storing ( 114 ) the random sequence in memory,  
 iii) first receiving ( 116 ) an electric signal from a first light transmitter after a user touches a first light ( 14 ),  
 iv) second receiving ( 118 ) an electric signal from a second light transmitter after the user touches a second light ( 14 ),  
 v) comparing ( 120 ) a user light touch sequence to the random sequence stored in memory, if the user light touch sequence and the sequence stored in memory are dissimilar, a first electric signal is transmitted from the microchip ( 18 ) to the solenoid ( 14 B) retracting the member and concurrently releasing the piston ( 14 A) which knocks off the container top ( 12 T) via the container top biasing means ( 12 TB) and a second electric signal is transmitted from the microchip ( 18 ) to the at least one speaker ( 16 ) creating a bomb explosion noise, if the user light touch sequence and the sequence stored in memory are similar, a third electric signal is transmitted from the microchip ( 18 ) to the at least one speaker ( 16 ) creating an audible noise confirming the sequence was correct.  
   
     
     
         2 . The toy bomb ( 10 ) as described in  claim 1 , wherein the container top ( 12 T) further comprises a container top lock ( 12 TC) functioning to prevent release when the toy bomb ( 10 ) is not in use.  
     
     
         3 . The toy bomb ( 10 ) as described in  claim 1  further comprises skill level buttons ( 22 ) electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 ) and concurrent skill levels of random light sequences contained within the software in the microchip, the skill level buttons ( 22 ) function to allow the user to play various difficulties.  
     
     
         4 . The toy bomb ( 10 ) as described in  claim 1  further comprises game buttons ( 24 ) electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 ) and concurrent different games contained within the software in the microchip, the game buttons ( 24 ) function to allow the user to play various games.  
     
     
         5 . The toy bomb ( 10 ) as described in  claim 1  further comprises a vibrator ( 28 ) electrically connected to the microchip ( 18 ) and software contained within the microchip ( 18 ) having the following steps: 
 A) the user light touch sequence and the sequence stored in memory are dissimilar, a first electric signal is transmitted from the microchip ( 18 ) to the solenoid ( 14 B) retracting the piston and concurrently releasing the piston ( 14 A) which knocks off the container top ( 12 T) via the container top biasing means ( 12 TB) and a second electric signal is transmitted from the microchip ( 18 ) to the at least one speaker ( 16 ) creating a bomb explosion noise and a fourth electric signal is transmitted from the microchip ( 18 ) to the vibrator ( 28 ) creating a vibrating sensation.
