Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a picture book with sounds that incorporates an electronic music box, an electronic sound generator, etc., and which plays music related to each sheet of paper by operating a switch specified for each sheet. It is something.

Conventional sound picture books include a SonoSheet (registered trademark) attached to each leaf, and the SonoSheet (registered trademark) is taken out and played on a playback device to play music, or each leaf is individually formed into a sheet, and each sheet is A magnetic recording band is installed on the back side of the device, while pictures and letters are displayed on the front side, and music and words are played back while the pictures and letters are visible.

The above-mentioned conventional picture books and sheets require a separate playback device, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost and is difficult for young children to operate, and it is not possible to obtain sound-producing picture books for young children using the above-mentioned conventional means. It's difficult.

The present invention was developed in view of the above, and its purpose is to easily and reliably manipulate music, birdsong, short words, and other sounds related to paper sheets (pages) used even by young children. To provide a picture book with sounds which is excellent in terms of intellectual development and emotional education of young children by allowing the combination to play, allowing the young children's interest in pictures and music to be simultaneously satisfied through the child's operations.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention incorporates an IC memory, a piezoelectric speaker, and a battery that stores a plurality of pieces of music, voices, short words, or a combination thereof into a thick base plate. A plurality of sheets of paper with pictures and sentences corresponding to the above are provided so that they can be spread freely, and at one end of the sheet of paper, a plurality of switches provided on the base plate are arranged in the height direction of the sheet of paper. The gist is that the end portions are labeled with symbols indicating the corresponding ones of the above-mentioned switches.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a picture book according to the present invention in a two-page spread state, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a performance device.

A recess 101 is provided in the rectangular thick plate-like substrate 1,
A plurality of recesses 103 open upwardly and outwardly are provided at the longitudinally long outer end 102 spaced apart in the length direction, and the recesses 103 are separated from each other by protrusions 104 between them. In the recess 101, an IC memory 2, a piezoelectric speaker 3, and a battery 4, which are sounding elements of an electronic music box, are provided, and a recess 103 at the outer end is provided.
A switch 5 is provided inside each of the switches 5 and 5.
consists of a main body 501 with internal contacts and a push switch knob 502, and each switch 5 is connected to a battery 4 and an IC memory 2 by lead wires 601, 602.
The IC memory 2 is connected to the piezoelectric speaker 3 and the battery 4 via lead wires 603 and 604, and although the example shows the wiring of one switch, the other switches are also connected to the piezoelectric speaker 3 and the battery 4 using individual lead wires. are connected in the same way as above. IC memory is music,
It uses memorized sounds such as bird calls and short words, and although one IC memory is shown in the figure, it is actually a combination of multiple memory elements.

The upper surface of the base plate 1 described above is covered with a sheet 701 except for the outer edge portion 102 provided with the switches 5..., the base plate 1 substantially constitutes the back cover, and the sheet 701 constitutes the last page of the picture book. It's okay.

A plurality of sheets 702 with the base plate 1 as a back cover...
The back of the sheet is glued or the like so that it can be opened freely, the outermost part is used as the front cover 703, and the inner edge 704 of these sheets 702... and the front cover 703 is glued or the like and combined with the inner edge of the base plate 1. A spine 705 is formed.

Sheet 702... is page 7 on the left and right in a double-page spread.
06,707 constitutes the paper leaf 710 of the picture book,
A picture 708 for young children and related text 709 are displayed here. Picture 708, text 709
The left and right pages of a double-page spread are displayed for each sheet as a set, and the IC memory stores as many pieces of music as the number of sheets in the double-page spread, and the switches 5 are provided for this number. A code 711 is displayed on the end surface of the paper sheet 710 on the side of the switch 5, and the code 711 is displayed so as to face the switch 5A that plays the music of the sheet in the spread state, and the code 711 is displayed on each sheet. They are displayed in different positions corresponding to the switches on each leaf.

Picture book 7 is configured as described above.

Next, the functions and effects will be described. When the picture book 7 is opened, for example to the page shown in FIG. 1, the infant sees the picture 708, reads the text 709, and understands the contents. In the diagram of the paper sheet 710 in a two-page spread state, a code 711 is displayed at the right end, and this is used as an instruction code to indicate the code 711.
Press the knob 502 of the switch 5A corresponding to the button. As a result, the storage/reproduction circuit of the aforementioned IC memory is closed, the music played through the speaker 3 is amplified, and the user can listen to the performance corresponding to the content of the sheet of paper. If you press the switch once, it will play until the end. The IC memory stores a plurality of pieces of music, and by flipping the sheet of paper and pressing the switch corresponding to the code, music related to the displayed content of the sheet of paper can be sequentially played back.

The above embodiment has been explained as playing music, but it is also possible to play animal sounds such as small birds, and short words, and by combining these, music and sounds can be played for each sheet of paper.
The words may be reproduced in a corresponding manner.

According to the present invention as described above, a young child can play and listen to music related to the contents of a picture book while looking at the pictures and text, which is advantageous for the child's intellectual development and education. This can be done with a simple operation of looking at a code and pressing a switch, and it is possible for young children to easily plan actions that are favorable for their intellectual development, such as listening to music while looking at a picture book with their own hands.
