 It is an object of the present invention to provide a story doll configured as a means for allowing children to listen to a fairy tale while allowing them to fully enjoy and enjoy the fairy tale.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the story doll according to claim 1 of the present invention, the main body is a character model in which various characters appearing in a fairy tale are formed, and various fairy tales are reproduced by voice in the character model so that the character speaks a fairy tale. It is configured by equipping with a sound recording / playback device that enables recording.

In the story doll according to the second aspect of the present invention, the main body is composed of a character model in which at least the eyes emit light as the sound is reproduced.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the story doll shown in FIG. 1, a character model 1 in which a character with a gentle and fairy-tale appearance that appears in a fairy tale is selected and the character is modeled is selected. Is composed of the main body.

The character model 1 can be formed by using a cloth material, an ordinary plastic material, or a mineral material such as gypsum or clay. The character model 1 can be configured so that it can be installed and placed on a table by integrally forming an accessory model 2 that models a chair, a log, etc. as a pedestal. In addition, a hat or the like formed of cloth or the like can be worn as the accessory model 3 to give the character model 1 a fairy tale atmosphere.

The character model 1 can be configured to be operable so that a part of the body moves in response to a story in a fairy tale. The moving character model 1 may be provided with a multi-joint structure inside the body, and the whole body may be formed from a cloth material or a mixed material of rubber type and polymer resin type. In addition, the operating part can be formed so as to expand and contract with a minute voltage by mixing magnetic powder of piezoelectric material into a rubber-based or polymer resin-based mixed material. Also, by embedding a shape memory alloy thin wire in a rubber-based or polymer resin-based mixed material, or by mixing shape memory alloy powder into a rubber-based or polymer resin-based mixed material, it is formed to move with heat. You can also do it.

The character model 1 is used as a main unit, and a voice recording / reproducing device 4 is equipped in the set. If the audio recording / reproducing device 4 is equipped with a tape deck or a disc player, the whole device can be constructed inexpensively and compactly. The voice recording / reproducing apparatus 4 can be installed inside either by providing an opening 5 of a storage portion for inserting and removing a magnetic recording medium described later on the body surface of the character model 1 or the surface portion of the accessory model 3.

The audio recording / reproducing apparatus 4 is equipped so that it can be turned ON / OFF by a switch operation. This switch operation is carried out manually by using an ultrasonic wave transmitter by preparing for either the body surface of the character model 1 or the surface part of the accessory model 3 in the same manner as described above with the push button, automatic changeover, and selection switch. It can be done remotely. In the switch operation, the power can be turned on first, and then any one of a plurality of types of fairy tales recorded on a voice recording medium, which will be described later, can be selected by a channel switching signal for each channel.

As the audio recording medium, a recorded tape such as a cassette tape or an endless tape can be used. A plurality of types of fairy tales are recorded as the voice. A magnetic disk such as CD, MD, LD, DAT or DCC can be applied as the audio recording medium. This magnetic disk is preferable because it makes it possible to easily select a desired one from a plurality of fairy tales recorded.

In this story doll, at the same time as reproducing the sound, at least the eye portion 1a is constituted by the character model 1 in which the light emitting means 6 emits light, as shown in FIG. The light emitting means 6 may be equipped with an ON / OFF switch by a manual switch or an automatic switch so that it can be turned on in synchronization with the power switch of the audio recording / reproducing apparatus 4. When the light emitting means 6 is provided, it is possible to clearly determine whether the power switch of the audio recording / reproducing device 4 is turned on or off. Further, the face and the head may be made to emit light to express the fun of talking.

As the light emitting means 6, a colored bean lamp or an LED can be used. Further, by using an optical fiber, the cut portions at each tip are aligned and the eye portion 1a is formed, so that light can be diffused and emitted. By replacing the bean lamp, the LED, and the optical fiber with a liquid crystal display for the eye portion 1a, it is possible to emit a color of light that cannot be emitted by the bean lamp, the LED, and the optical fiber.

If a speaker is provided inside the character model 1 so as to match the mouth 1b of the character model 1, the sound can be reproduced from the utterance position as if the character is in a fairy tale. Along with this, the character 1 model can be configured to be interlockable by the above-mentioned operating mechanism so as to open and close the mouth portion 1b or shake the hand portion 1c and the neck portion 1d.

In addition to the above-mentioned attachment mechanism, this character doll can be combined with a clock function. In addition, if the liquid crystal display 7 is provided on the body part of the character model 1 or the surface part of the accessory model 3 and the moving image accompanying the sound reproduction is shown on the liquid crystal display 7, the content of the fairy tale can be displayed as a fun and fun movie Can be added.

This story doll can also be combined with a personal computer. When the personal computer is combined, various information including rakugo story sent from the master station such as the Internet using the communication circuit is received and recorded and stored in the voice recording medium equipped in the voice recording / reproducing apparatus 4. , It can also be used to collect a variety of information for reuse as needed.
