Novelty gift - cat in the box

Abstract

The present invention is a novelty gift that includes a power supply such as a DC voltage source, a motor with an eccentric loading that can cause a shimmy or vibration when operated, an audio card or sound player with speaker to emit a recorded sound, and a processor that can receive a proximal wireless signal and actuate the motor and audio card simultaneously or sequentially. The device includes a small remote device that can be preferably hidden in the palm of a hand, and can activate the device with the press of a button on the remote. Once activated, the motor will produce vibrations that are transferred to the box itself, while the audio card emits sounds through the speaker simulating an animal.

1 . A novelty device, comprising:
 a wireless remote control; and   an animal simulating unit having a housing, a power supply within the housing, a switch for controlling the power supply, an eccentrically weighted motor, a random output generator coupled to the eccentrically weighted motor for generating random motion, a processor having a receiver adapted to receive a signal from the wireless remote control, and audio device, and a speaker;   wherein the wireless remote control sends a signal to the processor to initiate the motor to cause ransom vibration influenced by the random output generator while simultaneously initiating audio to be played through the speaker from the audio unit.   
     
     
         2 . The novelty device of  claim 1 , wherein the audio device is an audio card having record and play capability. 
     
     
         3 . The novelty device of  claim 2 , wherein the animal simulating unit simulates a cat.
