Elastic figure that plays a sound when interacting with it

Abstract

The invention involves an elastic electronic toy comprising an electronic module with sound and/or light generation means that can be activated by means of at least one sensor for pressure/force on an elastic figure in such a way that the module does not get damaged, and the acoustic and luminous signals do not weaken. To this end, the electronic module is placed in a hermetic case that is attached to the outer elastic case of the figure, in a cavity where the module is inserted and closed with a lid or cap with one or more holes for the sound to come out.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Elastic electronic toy, featuring a hermetic case of elastically deformable, stretchable material that is liable to go back to its original shape, containing an electronic module comprising an electronic circuit associated to sound and/or light generating means; wherein said circuit can be activated by at least one sensor for pressure/force applied on the figure, where the electronic module is in an hermetic case in a cavity that houses the module and is closed with a lid or cap with one or more holes for the sound to come out. 
     
     
         2 . Elastic electronic toy according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the inner case, the outer case and the cap are fixed together using adhesive material for elastomeric materials. 
     
     
         3 . Elastic electronic toy according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the electronic module includes more than one sensor for pressure/force applied on the figure. 
     
     
         4 . Elastic electronic toy according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the outer part of the elastic figure is made of flexible elastomeric material. 
     
     
         5 . Elastic electronic toy according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the area between the inner part and the outer part is hollow. 
     
     
         6 . Elastic electronic toy according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the area between the inner part and the outer part is filled with a padded liquid, solid or gas material. 
     
     
         7 . Elastic electronic toy according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the electronic module is powered by a batter. 
     
     
         8 . Elastic electronic toy according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the electronic circuit comprises a processing system, one or more pressure sensors, a speaker and light emitters. 
     
     
         9 . Elastic electronic toy, according to  claim 8 , characterized in that the processing system is an electronic plate that has a signal processor that turns the pulses obtained from the sensors into audio and/or visual signals. The audio signals are pre-recorded sound samples that are reproduced at random or in a sequence when the sensors are activated. 
     
     
         10 . Elastic electronic toy, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the sensors are placed together in the electronic module. 
     
     
         11 . Elastic electronic toy, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the sensors are distributed all over the elastic figure or in predetermined locations on said elastic figure. 
     
     
         12 . Elastic electronic toy, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the outer elastic case is made of a translucent material. 
     
     
         13 . Elastic electronic toy, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the outer elastic case of the figure includes one or more translucent areas. 
     
     
         14 . Elastic electronic toy, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the sensors are distributed all over the item to detect the force on the different areas, including means to transmit the detected signals to the electronic module by wireless means or by cable.
