Abstract

A puppet theater with a playback device (7) for sounds provided during a theatrical performance has an electrically actuatable display (13, 14, 15) for each puppet to be used. Control signals are recorded on the sound medium (7') of the playback device (7), and include display controls to trigger the displays to cue the puppeteer during the performance as to which puppet is to be used at a given time in the script. The control signals of the playback device can also include automatic commands for unwinding a backdrop (5), and signals for controlling the illumination of colored lamps (16, 17, 18) which light the stage. The theater may be portably arranged via dividing joint (23) and hinges (24, 25) which allow for folding of the walls (1, 3, 4).

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Puppentheater mit mehreren, beim Spiel zu benutzenden Puppen und mit einem Abspielgerät für beispielsweise beim Theaterspiel vorgesehene Geräusche (z.B. US-A-4 560 359). Solche Puppentheater sind allgemein bekannt und gebräuchlich.The invention relates to a puppet theater having a plurality of puppets to be used during play and with a player for, for example, noises intended for theater play (e.g. US-A-4 560 359). Such puppet shows are generally known and used.

Puppentheater werden sehr häufig im häuslichen Bereich von Laien benutzt. In solchen Fällen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn dem Spieler möglichst viele Hilfen für den Ablauf des Spiels gegeben werden. Man kann beispielsweise während des Spiels ein Tonband laufen lassen, auf welchem Hintergrundgeräusche und die Gespräche der einzusetzenden Puppen abgespeichert sind. Dennoch verlangt das Theaterspielen erhebliches Geschick, weil synchron mit der Tonwiedergabe unterschiedliche Puppen eingesetzt werden müssen.Puppet theaters are very often used in the home by lay people. In such cases, it is advantageous if the player is given as much help as possible for the course of the game. You can, for example, run a tape during the game on which background noises and the conversations of the dolls to be used are stored. Nevertheless, playing theater requires considerable skill, because different puppets have to be used synchronously with the sound reproduction.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Puppentheater der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß die Durchführung eines Theaterstückes auch für Laien möglichst einfach ist.The invention has for its object to provide a puppet theater of the type mentioned so that the performance of a play is as simple as possible for laymen.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß eine der Anzahl der beim Theaterspiel zu benutzenden Puppen entsprechende Anzahl von elektrisch betätigbaren Anzeigen für die jeweils zu benutzende Puppe vorgesehen ist und daß auf dem Tonträger des Abspielgerätes Steuersignale zum Ansteuern der Anzeigen abgespeichert sind.This object is achieved in that a number of electrically operable displays is provided for the puppet to be used, corresponding to the number of puppets to be used in the theater and that control signals for driving the displays are stored on the sound carrier of the player.

Durch diese Gestaltung erkennt der Spieler an den vom Abspielgerät gesteuerten Anzeigen stets rechtzeitig, wann er eine neue Puppe einsetzen muß. Deshalb ist die Durchführung des Theaterspiels besonders einfach und ein verspäteter Einsatz von Puppen oder gar eine Benutzung einer falschen Puppe ausgeschlossen.With this design, the player always recognizes in good time from the displays controlled by the player when he has to insert a new doll. Therefore, the performance of the theater play is particularly easy and a late use of dolls or even the use of the wrong doll is excluded.

Die Anzeigen könnten am Regiepult des Puppentheaters in Form von aufleuchtenden Nummern gebildet sein, wenn man den Puppen entsprechende Nummern zuordnet. Das Theaterspielen wird erleichtert, wenn die Anzeigen an einer Ablage für die beim Spiel zu benutzenden Puppen vorgesehen sind.The displays could be formed on the control desk of the puppet theater in the form of flashing numbers if the dolls are assigned corresponding numbers. Theater play is made easier if the displays on a shelf are provided for the dolls to be used during the play.

Besonders einfach ist die Anzeige gestaltet, wenn sie jeweils durch eine elektrische Lampe gebildet ist.The display is particularly simple if it is formed by an electric lamp.

Das erfindungsgemäße Theater kann vom Spieler bequem transportiert und deshalb leicht - beispielsweise in Kindergärten - benutzt werden, wenn alle seine Teile in einem Koffer angeordnet sind, welcher im aufgeklappten Zustand eine Bühne mit Seitenwänden, einem Regiepult mit dem Abspielgerät und die Ablage für die Puppen bildet.The theater according to the invention can be conveniently transported by the player and can therefore be used easily - for example in kindergartens - if all of its parts are arranged in a suitcase which, when opened, forms a stage with side walls, a control desk with the player and the storage for the dolls .

Die Steuersignale sind vorzugsweise auf dem Tonträger des Abspielgerätes auf einer zusätzlichen Spur des Tonbandes abgespeichert.The control signals are preferably stored on the sound carrier of the player on an additional track on the tape.

Möglich ist jedoch auch, daß die Steuersignale auf dem Tonträger des Abspielgerätes akustische Signale sind und die Anzeigen jeweils einen Schallsensor aufweisen.However, it is also possible that the control signals on the sound carrier of the playback device are acoustic signals and that the displays each have a sound sensor.

Der Tonträger kann außer den Anzeigen für die jeweils zu benutzenden Puppen gemäß einer weiteren, vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung auch weitere Lampen betätigen, wenn auf dem Tonträger weitere Steuersignale zum Steuern von die Bühne beleuchtenden Lampen abgespeichert sind.In addition to the displays for the dolls to be used in each case, the sound carrier can also actuate further lamps according to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention if further control signals for controlling lamps illuminating the stage are stored on the sound carrier.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn eine rote Lampe, eine blaue Lampe und eine gelbe Lampe vorgesehen sind und wenn die Steuerbefehle zum Ansteuern jeder der Lampen mit beliebiger Helligkeit ausgebildet sind. Durch die drei Lampen wird es möglich, die Bühne in jeder beliebigen Farbe auszuleuchten, indem die drei Lampen unterschiedlich stark zum Leuchten gebracht werden, so daß beliebige Mischfarben zu erzielen sind. Dadurch kann man sehr gut beispielsweise Abendlicht, aber auch Gewitterstimmungen oder Blitzlicht erzeugen.It is particularly advantageous if a red lamp, a blue lamp and a yellow lamp are provided and if the control commands for controlling each of the lamps are designed with any brightness. The three lamps make it possible to illuminate the stage in any color by lighting the three lamps to different extents so that any desired mixed colors can be achieved. This makes it very easy to create evening light, for example, but also stormy weather or flash light.

Das Zusammenklappen des Puppentheaters zu einem tragbaren Koffer ist sehr einfach möglich, wenn das Puppentheater in etwa halber Höhe eine horizontale Teilungsfuge aufweist, wenn die obere Seitenwandhälften nach vorn gegen die obere Frontwandhälfte klappbar und die obere Frontwandhälfte nach vorn unten gegen die untere Frontwandhälfte klappbar ist und wenn die unteren Seitenwandhälften nach innen gegen die untere Frontwandhälfte klappbar ausgebildet sind.It is very easy to fold the puppet theater into a portable suitcase if the puppet theater has a horizontal dividing joint at about half the height, if the upper side wall halves can be folded forward against the upper front wall half and the upper front wall half can be folded down against the lower front wall half and if the lower side wall halves are designed to be foldable inwards against the lower front wall half.

Die Kulisse kann sehr rasch von einem Kulissenbild zum anderen wechseln, wenn die Kulisse aus zwei motorisch angetriebenen Wickelwalzen gebildet ist, auf denen ein Kulissenband mit unterschiedlichen Kulissenbildern aufgewickelt ist. Mit einem solchen Kulissenband kann man auch den Eindruck eines Schneegestöbers oder den von Nebel erzeugen.The backdrop can change very quickly from one backdrop image to another if the backdrop is formed from two motor-driven winding rollers, on which a backdrop tape with different backdrop images is wound. With such a backdrop band you can also create the impression of a snowstorm or that of fog.

Zur weiteren Erleichterung des Theaterspielens trägt es bei, wenn auf dem Tonträger Steuerbefehle für den Antrieb der Wickelwalzen vorgesehen sind.To make theater play even easier, control commands for driving the winding rollers are provided on the sound carrier.

Eine andere Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß auf dem Tonträger zusätzliche Steuerbefehle zur Ansteuerung weiterer Vorrichtungen im Puppentheater, beispielsweise dem Vorhang, abgespeichert sind.Another development of the invention is that additional control commands for controlling further devices in the puppet theater, for example the curtain, are stored on the sound carrier.

Die Erfindung läßt zahlreiche Ausführungsformen zu. Zur weiteren Verdeutlichung ihres Grundprinzips ist eine davon schematisch in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachfolgend beschrieben.The invention permits numerous embodiments. To further clarify its basic principle, one of them is shown schematically in the drawing and is described below.

Das dargestellte Puppentheater hat eine Frontwand 1, in der als Bühne 2 eine Öffnung vorgesehen ist. Die Frontwand 1 wird durch Seitenwände 3, 4 in ihrer dargestellten, aufrecht stehenden Lage gehalten. Die Seitenwände 3, 4 sind durch nicht gezeigte Scharniere derart mit der Frontwand verbunden, daß das Puppentheater insgesamt zu einem tragbaren Koffer zusammengeklappt werden kann.The puppet theater shown has a front wall 1, in which an opening is provided as a stage 2. The front wall 1 is held in its upright position by side walls 3, 4. The side walls 3, 4 are connected to the front wall by hinges (not shown) in such a way that the puppet theater as a whole can be folded into a portable suitcase.

Hinter der Bühne 2 ist zwischen den Seitenwänden 3, 4 eine Kulisse 5 vorgesehen, die so ausgebildet ist, daß der Spieler durch sie hindurch die Zuschauer sehen, er selbst aber für die Zuschauer unsichtbar ist. Unterhalb der Bühne 2 befindet sich ein Regiepult 6, in welchem ein Abspielgerät 7, beispielsweise ein Tonbandgerät, untergebracht ist. Beide Seitenwände haben Halterungen 8, 9, welche bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel nach oben gerichtete Stangen aufweisen, die Ablagen 10, 11, 12 für zu benutzende Puppen bilden. Vor jeder Ablage 10, 11, 12 ist eine Anzeige 13, 14, 15 in Form einer Lampe vorgesehen.Behind the stage 2, a backdrop 5 is provided between the side walls 3, 4, which is designed in such a way that the player can see the spectators through it, but he himself is invisible to the spectators. Below the stage 2 is a control desk 6, in which a playback device 7, for example a tape recorder, is accommodated. Both side walls have brackets 8, 9, which in this exemplary embodiment have upwardly directed rods which form shelves 10, 11, 12 for dolls to be used. A display 13, 14, 15 in the form of a lamp is provided in front of each shelf 10, 11, 12.

Auf dem Tonträger des Abspielgerätes 7 sind Steuersignale gespeichert, welche ein Aufleuchten der jeweils gewünschten Anzeige 13, 14, 15 bewirken. Dadurch wird dem Puppenspieler an den jeweils richtigen Stellen der Handlung signalisiert, welche Puppe er gerade einsetzen muß.Control signals which cause the respectively desired display 13, 14, 15 to light up are stored on the sound carrier of the playback device 7. This signals to the puppeteer at the correct points in the plot which puppet he has to use.

Die Zeichnung zeigt weiterhin oberhalb der Bühne 2 drei Lampen 16, 17, 18, von denen die erste rotes Licht, die zweite blaues Licht und die dritte gelbes Licht auszustrahlen vermag. Auch diese Lampen 16, 17, 18 sind vorzugsweise durch Steuersignale des Tonträgers des Abspielgerätes 7 gesteuert. Dadurch wird es möglich, jede der Lampen 16, 17, 18 unabhängig von den anderen anzusteuern und die Helligkeit der jeweiligen Lampe 16, 17, 18 automatisch zu regeln.The drawing further shows three lamps 16, 17, 18 above the stage 2, of which the first red light, the second blue light and the third yellow light can emit. These lamps 16, 17, 18 are also preferably controlled by control signals from the sound carrier of the player 7. This makes it possible to control each of the lamps 16, 17, 18 independently of the others and to regulate the brightness of the respective lamp 16, 17, 18 automatically.

Die Kulisse 5 besteht aus einem Kulissenband 19, welches auf zwei beiderseits der Bühne 2 angeordneten Wickelwalzen 20, 21 aufgewickelt ist. Die Wickelwalze 21 kann von einem Motor 22 angetrieben werden, der seinerseits durch Steuersignale des Abspielgerätes 7 ansteuerbar ist. Dreht sich die Wickelwalze 21 im Uhrzeigersinn, so wird von der Wickelwalze 20 Kulissenband 19 abgewickelt und auf die Wickelwalze 21 aufgewickelt. Dadurch kann man ein Bühnenbild automatisch wechseln.The backdrop 5 consists of a backdrop belt 19, which is wound on two winding rollers 20, 21 arranged on both sides of the stage 2. The winding roller 21 can be driven by a motor 22, which in turn can be controlled by control signals from the player 7. If the winding roller 21 rotates clockwise, the guide roller 19 is unwound from the winding roller 20 and wound onto the winding roller 21. This allows you to automatically change a set.

Die Zusammenklappbarkeit des Puppentheaters kann auf unterschiedliche Weise erreicht werden. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist in etwa in halber Höhe des Puppentheaters eine horizontal verlaufende Teilungsfuge 23 vorgesehen. Die oberen Hälften der Seitenwände 4 können nach vorn gegen die Frontwand 1 geklappt werden. Anschließend kann man die obere Hälfte der Frontwand 1 nach unten gegen die untere Hälfte der Frontwand 1 klappen. Die unteren Hälften der Seitenwände 3, 4 sind um Scharniere 24, 25 nach innen klappbar. Nicht gezeigt ist, daß in dem entstehenden Freiraum zwischen den eingeklappten, unteren Seitenwandhälften und der unteren Frontwandhälfte eine Schublade eingesetzt werden kann.The collapsibility of the puppet theater can be achieved in different ways. In the exemplary embodiment shown, a horizontally extending parting line 23 is provided approximately halfway up the puppet theater. The upper halves of the side walls 4 can be folded forward against the front wall 1. Then you can fold the upper half of the front wall 1 down against the lower half of the front wall 1. The lower halves of the side walls 3, 4 can be folded inwards about hinges 24, 25. It is not shown that a drawer can be inserted in the resulting space between the folded, lower side wall halves and the lower front wall half.
