Talking Santa Clause Device With Red Light For Inside The Chimney

Abstract

An electronic device to be hidden in the fireplace to create the illusion that Santa Claus is on the roof and his reindeer Rudolph is looking down the chimney with his glowing red nose. The present invention is an electronic device that is magnetically attached to the fireplace damper handle or damper so that it is out of visual sight. More particularly, the device is magnetically attached to the damper handle as close to the damper as possible. The device will play audio in the voice of Santa Claus giving the illusion that the voice is coming from the roof down the chimney.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic device to create the illusion that Santa Claus is on the roof and his reindeer Rudolph is looking down the chimney with his glowing red nose, the electronic device comprising:
 an audio module playing sounds of scratching, footsteps, sleigh bells, and voice of Santa Claus;   a speaker in front of the device for outputting sounds played by the audio module;   a red light in a bottom of the device to produce red illumination;   a magnet on a back of the device to attach the device to the fire place;   a power source for providing electricity to the device; and   an enclosure to contain the audio module and necessary electronic components and wires associated with the audio module, speaker, red light, on an off switch, and the power source, the enclosure having a compartment in the back to hold the power source;   wherein when the device is attached to the fireplace, the red light is to point down to a base of the fireplace.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the device is attached to the damper handle of the fireplace. 
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a passive infrared sensor based detector in the bottom of the device to point down to the base of the fireplace to detect a motion or fire in the base of the fireplace and trigger an alarm to warn the user when a motion or fire is detected.   
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 3 , further comprising a on and off switch on a side of the device for manual operation to turn on and off the device. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 4 , further comprising a timer allowing a period of waiting time between after the device is turned on and before the audio and red light begins to play. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 3 , further comprising a microprocessor within the enclosure to control the audio module and the red light. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 6 , wherein the audio module and red light is controlled by a remote control. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 6 , wherein the audio and red light is controlled by applications installed in smart phones or tablets. 
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 6 , wherein the audio and red light is controlled by one of voice recognition, phone, computer, internet, and motion activation. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 3 , wherein the enclosure is rectangular shaped and made of rigid and strong material including one of plastic, wood, and metal. 
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 3 , further comprising USB connector to allow a user to download audio files from different sources and saves in the device. 
     
     
         12 . The electronic device of  claim 3 , further comprising sound recording capabilities which records sounds and saves as audio files in the device.
