Definitions
- the invention relates to dolls or other toys, such as stuffed animals, representing living beings capable of emitting sounds, these toys being designated hereinafter by the term "dolls for the sake of simplification and not limiting.
- the dolls in question generally include an electrical switch accessible from the outside of the doll and mounted on the electrical conductor which connects the battery to the voice: the closings and openings of this switch have the effect of controlling respectively the emission and the stop sounds.
- the cell in question was then designed and arranged in such a way that the proximity of a heat source triggered the doll's voice instead of interrupting it.
- the doll in question would cry out as if it were burning or if it was too hot when approached by an intense source of heat.
- the aim sought by the present invention is totally different since it no longer proposes to trigger cries or tears, but on the contrary to make them stop.
- the present invention proposes to make the dolls considered such that they are more attractive than those currently known to children who play with them in the sense that the cessation of the tears of these dolls can be controlled automatically by the one of the natural gestures executed by these children with a view to consoling their dolls, a gesture consisting in the child kissing or caressing the head of his doll, in particular on a cheek or on the forehead.
- the dolls according to the invention also comprise, in a manner known per se from document FR-A-1 388 852, an infrared radiation detector and operating means, comprising an electric switch, adapted to act automatically on the voice as soon as the intensity of the detected radiation exceeds a predetermined threshold, the detector being placed in the head of the doll near a range of the external surface of this head, and they are essentially characterized in that the detector and the operating means are chosen and arranged in such a way that the heating of the detector due to the simple contact of a portion of human body with the above range has the effect of opening the switch and so put the voice off.

- This voice 3 comprises for example an electric motor 4 capable of driving a phonograph, the loudspeaker of which is visible at 5, said motor being supplied by electric batteries 6 when a switch 7 is closed, the control member of which is actuable from the outside of the doll, this member being in particular placed in the back of this doll.
- an infrared detector 9 disposed just behind a cheek 10 of the doll.
- This detector 9 of the passive type, is associated with a power supply battery 11 and with an amplifier 12 arranged so as to produce signals suitable for actuating a switch 13 mounted between the battery 6 and the voice 4-5.
- the detector 9 is chosen to be sensitive enough and the amplifier 12, powerful enough for the heat radiation due to the contact, with the cheek of the doll, of a portion of a human body such as the mouth or the hand of a child 14 has the effect of generating, on the output of the amplifier 12, a signal suitable for opening the switch 13.
- the voice 4-5 is excited and the doll cries by emitting cries or sobs.
- the detector 9 receives the heat radiation 15 emitted by the child and when the intensity of this radiation 15 exceeds a predetermined threshold S, the amplifier 11 emits a signal suitable for opening the switch 13.
- a delay circuit 16 associated with the amplifier 12 so that the control signals of the switch 13 emitted by this amplifier as soon as the threshold S is exceeded are automatically neutralized after a predetermined delay R consecutive to the start of this overshoot.
- This switch 17 is for example closed by a metal ball 17, housed in a tube 17 2 when the doll is lying on its back and, on the contrary, open for the other positions of the doll, and in particular for those corresponding to its sitting position or lying on the belly, the ball 17, then being moved away from the electrical contacts of the switch and being driven by gravity towards the end, of the tube 17 2 , the furthest from said contacts.
- This opening of the switch 17 takes over from the successive openings of the switch 13, which makes it possible to calm the doll in a lasting manner after a series of consolations of this doll due to simple thermal reconciliations of the child.
Description
L'invention est relative aux poupées ou autres jouets, tels qu'animaux en peluche, représentant des êtres vivants susceptibles d'émettre des sons, ces jouets étant désignés dans la suite par le vocable « poupées dans un souci de simplification et à titre non limitatif.The invention relates to dolls or other toys, such as stuffed animals, representing living beings capable of emitting sounds, these toys being designated hereinafter by the term "dolls for the sake of simplification and not limiting.
Elle vise plus particulièrement, parmi ces poupées. celles qui sont équipées d'une « voix ou sous-ensemble alimenté par une pile électrique et propre à émettre des sons tels que ceux accompagnant les pleurs d'un bébé.It aims more particularly, among these dolls. those which are equipped with a "voice or sub-assembly powered by an electric battery and capable of emitting sounds such as those accompanying the crying of a baby.
Les poupées en question comprennent généralement un interrupteur électrique accessible de l'extérieur de la poupée et monté sur le conducteur électrique qui relie la pile à la voix : les fermetures et ouvertures de cet interrupteur ont pour effet de commander respectivement l'émission et l'arrêt des sons.The dolls in question generally include an electrical switch accessible from the outside of the doll and mounted on the electrical conductor which connects the battery to the voice: the closings and openings of this switch have the effect of controlling respectively the emission and the stop sounds.
Dans une poupée perfectionnée du genre indiqué, on a déjà proposé d'asservir la commande de l'interrupteur décrit ci-dessus aux variations d'intensité de rayons infra-rouges reçus par une cellule sensible à de tels rayonnements et montée sur la poupée.In an improved doll of the kind indicated, it has already been proposed to control the control of the switch described above to the variations in intensity of infrared rays received by a cell sensitive to such radiation and mounted on the doll.
Mais la cellule considérée était alors conçue et agencée de façon telle que la proximité d'une source de chaleur déclenchait la voix de fa poupée au lieu de l'interrompre.However, the cell in question was then designed and arranged in such a way that the proximity of a heat source triggered the doll's voice instead of interrupting it.
En d'autres termes, la poupée considérée se mettait à crier comme si elle se brûlait ou si elle avait trop chaud lorsqu'on approchait d'elle une source de chaleur intense.In other words, the doll in question would cry out as if it were burning or if it was too hot when approached by an intense source of heat.
Le but recherché par la présente invention est totalement différent puisque celle-ci ne se propose plus de déclencher des cris ou pleurs, mais au contraire de les faire cesser.The aim sought by the present invention is totally different since it no longer proposes to trigger cries or tears, but on the contrary to make them stop.
Plus généralement la présente invention se propose de rendre telles, les poupées considérées, qu'elles soient plus attractives que celles actuellement connues pour les enfants qui jouent avec elles en ce sens que la cessation des pleurs de ces poupées peut être commandée automatiquement par l'un des gestes naturels exécutés par ces enfants en vue de consoler leurs poupées, geste consistant pour l'enfant à embrasser ou caresser la tête de sa poupée, notamment sur une joue ou sur le front.More generally, the present invention proposes to make the dolls considered such that they are more attractive than those currently known to children who play with them in the sense that the cessation of the tears of these dolls can be controlled automatically by the one of the natural gestures executed by these children with a view to consoling their dolls, a gesture consisting in the child kissing or caressing the head of his doll, in particular on a cheek or on the forehead.
A cet effet, les poupées selon l'invention comprennent encore, d'une façon connue en soi par le document FR-A-1 388 852, un détecteur de rayonnement infra-rouge et des moyens d'exploitation, comportant un interrupteur électrique, propres à agir automatiquement sur la voix dès que l'intensité du rayonnement détecté dépasse un seuil prédéterminé, le détecteur étant placé dans la tête de la poupée à proximité d'une plage de la surface extérieure de cette tête, et elles sont essentiellement caractérisées en ce que le détecteur et les moyens d'exploitation sont choisis et agencés de façon telle que l'échauffement du détecteur dû au simple contact d'une portion de corps humain avec la plage ci-dessus ait pour effet d'ouvrir l'interrupteur et donc de mettre la voix hors circuit.To this end, the dolls according to the invention also comprise, in a manner known per se from document FR-A-1 388 852, an infrared radiation detector and operating means, comprising an electric switch, adapted to act automatically on the voice as soon as the intensity of the detected radiation exceeds a predetermined threshold, the detector being placed in the head of the doll near a range of the external surface of this head, and they are essentially characterized in that the detector and the operating means are chosen and arranged in such a way that the heating of the detector due to the simple contact of a portion of human body with the above range has the effect of opening the switch and so put the voice off.
La plage ci-dessus est avantageusement l'une des joues de la poupée ou le front de cette poupée.The above range is advantageously one of the cheeks of the doll or the forehead of this doll.
L'invention comprend, mises à part ces dispositions principales, certaines autres dispositions qui s'utilisent de préférence en même temps et dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après.The invention includes, apart from these main provisions, certain other provisions which are preferably used at the same time and which will be more explicitly discussed below.
Dans ce qui suit, l'on va décrire un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention en se référant au dessin ci-annexé d'une manière bien entendu non limitative.In what follows, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the attached drawing, of course in a non-limiting manner.
La figure 1, de ce dessin, montre en vue schématique .une poupée perfectionnée selon l'invention.Figure 1 of this drawing shows in schematic view .a doll improved according to the invention.
La figure 2 est un schéma explicatif de ce perfectionnement.Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram of this improvement.
D'une façon connue en soi, la poupée 1 comprend, logée dans son corps 2, une « voix 3, c'est-à-dire un dispositif propre à émettre, lorsqu'il est alimenté électriquement, des sons tels que ceux accompagnant les pleurs d'un nouveau-né.In a manner known per se, the doll 1 comprises, housed in its body 2, a "voice 3, that is to say a device capable of emitting, when it is electrically powered, sounds such as those accompanying the tears of a newborn baby.
Cette voix 3 comprend par exemple un moteur électrique 4 propre à entraîner un phonographe dont le haut-parleur est visible en 5, ledit moteur étant alimenté par des piles électriques 6 lors de la fermeture d'un interrupteur 7 dont l'organe de commande est actionnable de l'extérieur de la poupée, cet organe étant notamment placé dans le dos de cette poupée.This voice 3 comprises for example an electric motor 4 capable of driving a phonograph, the loudspeaker of which is visible at 5, said motor being supplied by
En outre, conformément à l'invention, on prévoit dans la tête 8 de la poupée un détecteur infra-rouge 9 disposé juste derrière une joue 10 de la poupée.In addition, in accordance with the invention, there is provided in the
Ce détecteur 9, du type passif, est associé à une pile d'alimentation électrique 11 et à un amplificateur 12 agencé de façon à élaborer des signaux propres à actionner un interrupteur 13 monté entre la pile 6 et la voix 4-5.This
Le détecteur 9 est choisi assez sensible et l'amplificateur 12, assez puissant pour que l'irradiation calorifique due au contact, avec la joue de la poupée, d'une portion d'un corps humain telle que la bouche ou la main d'un enfant 14 ait pour effet d'engendrer, sur la sortie de l'amplificateur 12, un signal propre à ouvrir l'interrupteur 13.The
Le fonctionnement de l'ensemble est alors le suivant.The operation of the assembly is then as follows.
Au repos, l'interrupteur 13 est fermé et l'interrupteur 7, ouvert.At rest, the
Dès fermeture de l'interrupteur 7 par l'enfant 14 qui joue avec la poupée, la voix 4-5 est excitée et la poupéè pleure en émettant des cris ou sanglots.As soon as the switch 7 is closed by the
Si, dans ces conditions, l'enfant 14 embrasse sa poupée sur la joue ou caresse cette joue avec la main, le détecteur 9 reçoit le rayonnement calorifique 15 émis par l'enfant et lorsque l'intensité de ce rayonnement 15 dépasse un seuil prédéterminé S, l'amplificateur 11 émet un signal propre à ouvrir l'interrupteur 13.If, under these conditions, the
L'excitation électrique de la voix est alors interrompue et les pleurs de la poupée cessent.The electrical excitation of the voice is then interrupted and the doll's crying ceases.
Ce résultat, atteint sans que l'enfant ait à actionner par lui-même un quelconque interrupteur, est de nature à lui faire penser que sa poupée cesse de pleurer parce qu'elle a été consolée par le baiser ou la caresse donné.This result, achieved without the child having to activate any switch by himself, is likely to make him think that his doll stops crying because it has been comforted by the kiss or the caress given.
Cette interruption des pleurs de la poupée peut être définitive, leur reprise exigeant alors un réamorçage de toute nature désirable.This interruption of the doll's crying can be final, their resumption then requiring a reboot of any desirable nature.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré illustré, il est prévu un circuit à retard 16 associé à l'amplificateur 12 de façon telle que les signaux de commande de l'interrupteur 13 émis par cet amplificateur dès que le seuil S est dépassé soient automatiquement neutralisés après un retard prédéterminé R consécutif au début de ce dépassement.According to a preferred embodiment illustrated, there is provided a
Après ce retard, qui est par exemple compris entre 10 secondes et une minute et est de préférence de l'ordre de 30 secondes, les pleurs de la poupée reprennent et l'enfant doit la consoler à nouveau pour la calmer.After this delay, which is for example between 10 seconds and one minute and is preferably of the order of 30 seconds, the doll's crying resumes and the child must console her again to calm her down.
Selon un autre perfectionnement également illustré, on prévoit entre la pile 6 et la voix 4-5, en série avec les deux interrupteurs 7 et 13, un troisième interrupteur 17 sensible à la pesanteur.According to another improvement also illustrated, there is provided between the
Cet interrupteur 17 est par exemple fermé par une bille métallique 17, logée dans un tube 172 lorsque la poupée est couchée sur le dos et au contraire ouvert pour les autres positions de la poupée, et en particulier pour celles correspondant à sa station assise ou couchée sur le ventre, la bille 17, étant alors écartée des contacts électriques de l'interrupteur et étant chassée par gravité vers l'extrémité, du tube 172, la plus éloignée desdits contacts.This
Cette ouverture de l'interrupteur 17 prend le relais des ouvertures successives de l'interrupteur 13, ce qui permet de calmer la poupée de façon durable après une série de consolations de cette poupée dues aux simples rapprochements thermiques de l'enfant.This opening of the
Après une interruption assurée par une telle ouverture de l'interrupteur 17, la reprise du jeu est automatiquement assurée en replaçant la poupée en sa position couchée sur le dos.After an interruption ensured by such opening of the
En suite de quoi, et quel que soit le mode de réalisation adopté, on dispose finalement d'une poupée pleurante dont la constitution, le fonctionnement et les avantages résultent suffisamment de ce qui précède.As a result of which, and whatever the embodiment adopted, we finally have a weeping doll whose constitution, operation and advantages result sufficiently from the above.
