Abstract

A music shoe includes a shoe body for covering a person's foot, and a sound control unit installed in the shoe body. The sound control unit has a control circuit board with a voice database containing voice data, a speaker electrically connected to the control circuit board for voice output, and a plurality of buttons respectively electrically connected to the control circuit board and partially exposed to the outside of the shoe body for pressing by an external force to trigger the control circuit board to output a corresponding voice signal through the speaker.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A music shoe comprising: 
 a shoe body for covering a person's foot; and    a sound control unit installed in said shoe body, said sound control unit comprising a control circuit board having built therein a voice data base containing voice data, a speaker electrically connected to said control circuit board for voice output, and a plurality of buttons respectively electrically connected to said control circuit board and respectively partially exposed to the outside of said shoe body for pressing by an external force to trigger said control circuit board to output a corresponding voice signal through said speaker.    
     
     
         2 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said shoe body comprises a sole, and a vamp fastened to said sole and defining with said sole a receiving space for accommodating a person's foot, said sole comprising a bottom face for touching the ground or the surface of an object, a top face disposed opposite to said bottom face and fastened to said vamp, and a contour wall vertically situated at the contour of said top face and the contour of said bottom face; said buttons are respectively mounted in the contour wall of said sole and partially exposed to the outside of said sole.  
     
     
         3 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the contour wall of said sole comprises a plurality of insertion holes in which said buttons are respectively mounted.  
     
     
         4 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said sole comprises a receiving chamber formed in said top face for accommodating said control circuit board.  
     
     
         5 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the voice data base built in the control circuit board contains a plurality of modes of voice data and said sound control unit further comprises selector switch means for selecting output modes of voice data of said control circuit board.  
     
     
         6 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said speaker is installed in a tongue of said vamp.  
     
     
         7 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said voice database of said control circuit board has stored therein sounds of different scales for output through said speaker subject to triggering of said buttons.  
     
     
         8 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said voice database of said control circuit board has stored therein tones of different music instruments for output through said speaker subject to triggering of said buttons.  
     
     
         9 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said voice database of said control circuit board has stored therein melodies for output through said speaker subject to triggering of said buttons.  
     
     
         10 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said shoe body comprises a sole, and a vamp fastened to said sole and defining with said sole a receiving space for accommodating a person's foot, said sole comprising a bottom face for touching the ground or the surface of an object, a top face disposed opposite to said bottom face and fastened to said vamp, a contour wall vertically situated at the contour of said top face and the contour of said bottom face, and a locating groove extended around said contour wall for accommodating said sound control unit.  
     
     
         11 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said sound control unit further comprises a belt fastened to said shoe body, said belt defining therein an enclosed space; said control circuit board is fixedly mounted inside said enclosed space of said belt; said speaker is fixedly mounted inside said enclosed space of said belt and electrically connected to said control circuit board; said buttons are fixedly fastened to said enclosed space of said belt at different locations and electrically connected to said control circuit board and partially extended to the outside of said belt.  
     
     
         12 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said sound control unit further comprises fastener means for joining two distal ends of said belt, said fastener means comprising a first fastening member situated at a first end of said belt and a second fastening member situated at a second end of said belt and connectable to said first fastening member.  
     
     
         13 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein said first fastening member and said second fastening member are comprised of hook and loop materials.  
     
     
         14 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein said first fastening member and said second fastening member are respectively formed of the male fastening element and female fastening element of a snap fastener.  
     
     
         15 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said belt has different indication means corresponding to said buttons for quick identification of said buttons.  
     
     
         16 . The music shoe as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said shoe body comprises a locating groove situated at one side thereof; said belt is press-fitted into said locating groove; wherein a first fastening member is provided at said locating groove, and a second fastening member is provided at said belt and connectable to said first fastening member.
