Electromotive toy processor with voice synchronisation

Abstract

A toy typically in the form of a stuffed animal or character includes an electric motor adapted to animate parts of the toy, a sound transducer for reproducing sound signals, and a voice processor and amplifier connected to the sound transducer, an output of the voice processor and amplifier activating the electric motor to effect animation in synchronisation with sound signals reproduced by the sound transducer.

1 . A toy comprising an electric motor animating parts of the toy, a sound transducer for reproducing sound signals, a voice processor and amplifier connected to the sound transducer, an output of the voice processor and amplifier activating the electric motor to effect animation in synchronisation with sound signals reproduced by the sound transducer.  
   
   
       2 . The toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the voice processor detects and is responsive to audio frequency and amplitude so that the output controls the electric motor to operate at speeds that vary depending on the frequency and amplitude detected.  
   
   
       3 . The toy as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an impedance matching network, a pulse voltage multiplier circuit, and a band-pass filter.  
   
   
       4 . The toy as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the impedance matching network is connected with a voice source selected from the group consisting of a computer, a VCD player, a CD player, a DVD player, a radio, a portable microphone, and an MP3 player.  
   
   
       5 . The toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the amplifier comprises an integrated circuit on a printed circuit board.  
   
   
       6 . The toy as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the band-pass filter is provided on a printed circuit board.  
   
   
       7 . The toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the voice processor is provided on a printed circuit board.  
   
   
       8 . The toy as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the pulse voltage multiplier circuit is provided on a printed circuit board.  
   
   
       9 . The toy as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an electromotor driver circuit provided on a printed circuit board.  
   
   
       10 . The toy as claimed in  claim 9 , being in the form of an animal or character, further comprising a machine core rotating mechanism that is controlled by the electromotor driver circuit, and parts of the animal or character selected from the group consisting of jaws, arms, legs, and eyelids are attached externally to the machine core rotating mechanism.  
   
   
       11 . The toy as claimed in  claim 10 , further comprising a shift gear driven by the electromotor via a link motion strap wheel, the shift gear driving a gear train connected to a link rod, and a swing handle engaged by the gear train, wherein a lower lip member of the animal or character is engaged and operated by the link rod, and the link rod and an upper lip member of the animal or character are integrated.
