[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a stuffed toy having a drive unit and a sound generator, and in particular, a stuffed toy simulating an animal in the toy wrapping unit by vibrating sensing means included in the stuffed toy having a drive unit and a sound generator. The present invention relates to a sound producing toy that is driven and emits onomatopoeia.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 In general, a sound generator included in a conventional toy generally presses the toy abdomen or the like, and the pressing force deforms the generator to generate a sound by its restoring force.

For example, a stuffed animal or the like imitates an infant or the like by visually simulating an animal or the like that the infant likes, and causing a generator contained in the abdomen to ring.

Since such a stuffed toy or the like is created with an emphasis on its external design, there is a limitation that it cannot be greatly deformed to generate a voice.

Therefore, it is general to arrange the voice generator within this limit without impairing the overall design of the stuffed toy such as the abdomen.

However, since such a sound generator is directly compressed against the pressing force, it is influenced by the sound generating means, and its sound color is a monotonous sound color without inducing a surprise to the user of the toy. And did not add much value to the plush toy. In addition, some toys use a driving force such as a spring to generate an onomatopoeia by using such a driving force. In some cases, the taste was spoiled, and it was not as surprising as the above.

On the other hand, the limbs or the mouth or eyes of the head imitating a moving part of an animal or the like is driven, and the surface thereof imitates an animal which an infant prefers visually, and the abdomen or the like thereof is driven. In some cases, a drive source or drive switch that drives the limbs via the drive from the source is arranged. Stuffed toys with such protrusions may impair the external visual acuity peculiar to stuffed animals, and from this point of view, drive sources that do not project outside such as stuffed animals are required. For example, there is a placement type stuffed toy in which a plastic power supply box is arranged on the abdomen of the toy that is in contact with the placement table, and the limbs are driven through drive joints and the like built in this. However, the surface of such a toy imitates an animal toy, but when it is moved, the drive source such as the abdomen is exposed and the design of the entire stuffed toy is impaired, especially when used by toy users for pets. However, it is not suitable for stuffed toys that are used with a feeling that does not impair overall flexibility, unlike when they are simply used as a stationary type.

[0008] Such inconvenience is caused by making the switch means for entrusting the drive source to the electric means or the protruding portion of the drive source itself as small as possible, or selecting a simple movement in the manual drive source. I had no choice. On the other hand, many voice-generating toys are also made by electric means as described above, and using the switch means as a trigger impairs the user's unexpectedness due to the protrusion.

[0009]

[Means and Actions for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above, and the surface of a mechanical member disposed inside the stuffed toy for pets is elastic without touching the visual appearance. Bandaged with. As a result, the present invention adds a surprise to the conventional stuffed toy for visual appreciation, and further has a sound generator in response to these movements, so that visual and auditory tones are integrated. By providing richness, it will provide a plush toy with a built-in voice generation and drive unit that takes into consideration more pet characteristics.

In order to achieve such an object, the voltage of the power supply unit is applied in consideration of the subtle movements of the stuffed animal and the movement of the characteristic part of the animal modeled by the stuffed animal is driven, and correspondingly input in advance. The present invention provides a stuffed toy that has a more sensational pet characteristic by having a sound generator that emits a sound simulating the squeak of a stuffed toy that has been created, and by bandaging each member with an elastic body. .
