Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a melody picture book with a karaoke function, which is suitable for music education of infants and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Sound that has a sound generation circuit and a speaker built in the picture book body, and when the picture panel printed on the surface of the picture book is pressed, the sound generation circuit operates to output a melody or onomatopoeia from the speaker. A picture book that generates a noise has already been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-177864. A picture book that produces this sound has the great advantage of being naturally interested in music while playing.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, there is already known a melody picture book in which when a printed picture panel is pressed, a melody or the like related to the picture panel is generated. However, in the case of this conventional melody picture book, although it is possible to simply sing a song in accordance with the melody output from the speaker, the singing voice cannot be mixed with the accompaniment sound through the speaker and interest is halved. There was a problem. Also, in the case of the conventional melody picture book, the speaker is built in the casing that forms the melody generator attached to the picture book body, so the melody output from the speaker is trapped inside the casing. It had the drawback of diminishing interest.

Therefore, the present invention allows a singing voice to be placed on the same speaker in accordance with the melody output from the sound generation circuit, and a speaker such as a piezoelectric buzzer can be placed upside down on the main body of the picture book. The purpose is to provide a melody picture book with a karaoke function that eliminates the conventional problems.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The structure of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described in detail. According to the first aspect of the present invention, by pressing an arbitrary mark portion printed on the main body of a picture book that can be folded, the mark portion is marked on the mark portion. A melody that includes a melody generator that includes a sound generation circuit that generates a certain related melody through a speaker, and a booklet that describes matters related to the tune, such as lyrics and sheet music. In the picture book, a microphone is provided in the sound generation circuit so that a singing voice is output from the speaker in accordance with the melody generated from the melody generator. The invention according to 2 is the melody picture book with karaoke according to claim 1, wherein the speaker is arranged on the picture book body so as to be upside down.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a specific structure of the melody picture book with karaoke of the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the melody picture book with karaoke of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 with a speaker standing on the body of the picture book, and FIG. 3 shows an example of a sound generating circuit. Circuit diagram, FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram when the speaker is raised.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a picture book main body composed of a front cover 2, a back cover 3 and a back cover 4, and the picture book main body 1 can fold the front cover 2 and the back cover 4 in half via the back cover 3. ing. Reference numeral 5 denotes a booklet attached to the inside of the cover 2 which is the main body of the picture book 1. The booklet 5 is printed with matters related to the tune, such as sheet music, lyrics, and background pictures, although not shown.

Reference numeral 6 is a melody generator arranged inside the back cover 4 which constitutes the picture book body 1. The melody generator 6 presses a mark portion 7 on which a person, an animal, a plant, a character, a symbol or the like is arbitrarily printed and displayed, so that the melody or the like related to the mark portion 7 is transmitted via a speaker 8 such as a piezoelectric buzzer. Is occurring. That is, a switch group 9 is provided below the printed mark portion 7 as shown in FIG. 3, and when the desired mark portion 7 is pressed, the switch 9 thereunder is turned on, A melody sound signal stored in the melody IC 10 is output and amplified by an amplifier 11 to generate a predetermined melody from a speaker 8 composed of a piezoelectric buzzer or the like. Note that reference numeral 12 in the figure denotes a switch for opening and closing the battery power supply.

The sound generation circuit having the above-described configuration is housed in a casing that forms the melody generator 6, and the casing is fixed to an appropriate place inside the folded picture book body 1 with an adhesive or the like. A speaker 8 made of a piezoelectric buzzer or the like in the sound generation circuit is provided outside the casing via a lead wire so that it can be inverted on the picture book body 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the support plate 13 is pivotally attached to the back side of the speaker 8, and the lower end portion of the support plate 13 is raised by the stopper 14 projecting from the picture book body 1 after the speaker 8 is erected. It is something that you try to suppress. It is preferable that the support plate 13 is provided with a notch 15 so that the stopper 14 protruding from the picture book body 1 when the speaker 8 is folded can be accommodated in the notch 15.

Next, reference numeral 16 denotes a microphone attached to the sound generating circuit which constitutes the melody generator 6, and the microphone 16 is connected to the sound generating circuit via a code 17 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Be incorporated into. A sound signal input from the microphone 16 is amplified by an amplifier 11 as shown in FIG. 3, and is emitted together with a loud sound from a speaker 8 that outputs a melody as an accompaniment sound.

The melody picture book with karaoke of the present invention is constructed as described above, and in use, the picture book body 1 is opened as shown in FIG. 1 and then the speaker 8 is raised as shown in FIG. When the switch 12 of the melody generator 6 is turned on and any mark portion 7 displayed on the print is pressed, the switch 9 related to the mark portion 7 becomes conductive and the melody stored in the melody IC 10 is stored. Is output from the speaker 8. When voice is input from the microphone 16 at the same time, the voice and accompaniment sound are mixed and output from the speaker 8 together. Therefore, it is possible to sing the lyrics of the song at the same time while watching the booklet 5 in accordance with the melody generated from the speaker 8, which makes the melody picture book extremely tasteful.
