Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a finger puppet equipped with a melody generator.

(Prior Art) Conventional finger puppets have simply been constructed of finger puppet bodies sewn to resemble various animals, humans, and the like.

In addition, some ventriloquist dolls have an audio amplifier, speaker, switch, etc. built into the doll body and are operated within the doll body (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 174195/1983).
Also, toys have been proposed that have a built-in sound sensing device, optical sensor, etc. in the doll body and generate melodies using sound and light (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-49894).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, when using the finger puppet, the head, arms, etc. of the finger puppet body were simply manipulated with each finger of the hand, and this failed to arouse the interest of children. Furthermore, since the melody is generated by manipulating the doll itself, or by using a light sensor or a sound sensing device, the means of generating the melody is not only uninteresting, but also difficult to generate melodies neatly. I couldn't do it.

Therefore, this invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it not only greatly arouses children's interest, but also
