[0019] (First embodiment) A record player type toy according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[0020] (Record player toy) The record player type toy of this embodiment has, as its main components, simulated records 1, 100, and 200 and a main body 2 (see FIGS. 1 to 5).

[0021] (Main body) The main body 2 has a simulated turntable 3, a detection unit 4, a speaker 5, a recording unit 6, and a processing unit 7. Furthermore, the main body 2 has a power supply 8 that drives the processing unit 7 and the speaker 5 (see FIG. 2).

[0022] The simulated turntable 3 is configured to allow the attachment of simulated records 1, 100, and 200 (see Figures 3 and 4). The simulated turntable 3 is configured not to rotate relative to the main body 2. Specifically, the main body 2 has a shaft 9 that is erected on the simulated turntable 3 and to which the simulated records 1, 100, and 200 can be attached, and a pressing member 10 that is attached to this shaft 9 (see Figure 3). When the simulated records 1, 100, and 200 are attached to the shaft 9, the pressing member 10 urges and presses the simulated record 1 toward the simulated turntable 3. Specifically, the shaft 9 is formed with an external thread onto which the internal thread of the pressing member 10 (not shown) can be screwed.

[0023] The main body 2 further has a playback switch 11 that resembles a tone arm and is turned on when moved (see FIG. 1). Specifically, the playback switch 11 is rotatable within a horizontal plane, and is configured to be turned on when the playback switch 11 is located above the simulated turntable 3 (see FIG. 1), and turned off when it is located in its initial position (see FIG. 4).

[0024] The detection unit 4 is configured to detect when the simulated records 1, 100, and 200 are attached to the simulated turntable 3. Furthermore, the detection unit 4 is configured to detect when simulated records 1, 100, and 200 of different shapes are attached to the simulated turntable 3. Specifically, the detection unit 4 has conductive parts 41 to 44 that are energized by contact with the simulated records 1, 100, and 200 and detect contact with the simulated turntable 3 (see FIGS. 2 and 4). Each conductive part passes through a through-hole (see FIG. 3) formed in the simulated turntable 3 so that it can be exposed on the surface of the simulated turntable 3.

[0025] The energized parts 41-44 are capable of changing their contact pattern with the simulated record 1 depending on the shape of the simulated record 1, 100, or 200, allowing the detection unit 4 to detect differences in the shapes of the simulated records 1, 100, or 200 (i.e., differences in the size of the records themselves and the shapes of the energized parts). Specifically, each of the energized parts 41-44 is electrically connected to the processing unit 7, allowing detection of whether the energized parts 41 and 44 are energized, and whether the energized parts 42 and 43 are energized. However, this energization pattern is merely an example and is not limiting. The number of energized parts can be reduced or increased.

[0026] The processing unit 7 determines the shape of the simulated record 1 based on the contact pattern (i.e., the current flow status) of the conductive parts 41-44 with the simulated records 1-200, and obtains the sound corresponding to this determination from the recording unit 6 and plays it back through the speaker 5. Therefore, the recording unit 6 records the sound with an index corresponding to this contact pattern, and the processing unit 7 can search for and play back the corresponding sound.

[0027] With this configuration, the processing unit 7 of this embodiment is able to play back the audio recorded in the recording unit 6 through the speaker 5 when the detection unit 4 detects that the simulated record 1·100·200 has been loaded.

[0028] Furthermore, with this configuration, the processing unit 7 of this embodiment acquires different sounds from the recording unit 6 and reproduces them through the speaker 5 in accordance with the shape of the simulated record 1, 100, or 200.

[0029] More specifically, the processing unit 7 of this embodiment is configured to detect when the simulated record 1, 100, or 200 is attached to the simulated turntable 3, and also to play audio when the playback switch 11 is turned on.

[0030] The main body 2 further includes a microphone 12 and a recording switch 13. When the recording switch 13 is turned on, the processing unit 7 records the sounds picked up by the microphone 12 in the recording unit 6, with an index attached to each sound.

[0031] More specifically, in this embodiment, when the recording switch 13 is turned on and the detection unit 4 detects that the simulated records 1, 100, and 200 have been placed, the processing unit 7 records the audio picked up by the microphone 12 in the recording unit 6. When recording the audio in the recording unit 6, an index corresponding to the contact pattern of the current-carrying parts 41 to 44 of the detection unit 4 with the simulated records 1, 100, and 200 is also added to the audio.

[0032] The main body 2 further includes a base 21, a cavity 22, a main block 23, a spring 31, and a volume control knob 14.

[0033] The cavity 22 is a space formed below the base 21 (see FIG. 3), in which components such as the speaker 5, recording unit 6, processing unit 7, power supply 8, etc. can be placed.

[0034] The main block 23 is supported by the base 21. The current-carrying parts 41 to 44 and the shaft 9 of the detection unit 4 are attached to the main block 23, and are supported thereby.

[0035] The spring 31 is interposed between the main block 23 and the simulated turntable 3, and biases the simulated turntable 3 upward. On the other hand, when the simulated turntable 3 is biased downward by screwing the pressing member 10 onto the shaft 9, the spring 31 gives in to this biasing force and allows the simulated turntable 3 to descend, causing the tips of the conductive parts 41-44 to come into contact with the underside of the simulated records 1, 100, and 200.

[0036] The volume control knob 14 (see FIG. 1) is connected to the processing unit 7, and the volume of the speaker 5 can be adjusted by operating the knob.

[0037] (Simulated record) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the simulated record 1 is disc-shaped and made of non-conductive resin, imitating a record. Here, the non-conductive resin is, for example, PVC resin, but other non-conductive resins or non-conductive materials other than resin can also be used. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, a circular conductive portion 1a is formed on the underside of the simulated record 1. The conductive portion 1a is made of a highly conductive metal, such as an aluminum alloy sheet or foil. However, other conductive metals, such as copper alloys, or other conductive materials, such as conductive resins, can also be used for the conductive portion 1a. The simulated record 1 of this embodiment imitates an LP record.

[0038] The tips of the current-carrying parts 41 to 44 come into contact with the underside of the dummy record 1 at positions indicated by symbols P1 to P4 in FIG.

[0039] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the simulated record 100 is configured in a disk shape with a smaller diameter than the simulated record 1, and is made of a non-conductive material such as resin. The configuration of the simulated record 100 is basically the same as that of the simulated record 1, so a description of the common configuration will be omitted. As shown in Figure 8, an electric current portion 100a is formed on the underside of the simulated record 100. The configuration of the electric current portion 100a is also basically the same as that of the electric current portion 1a. The simulated record 100 of this embodiment imitates an SP record.

[0040] The tips of the current-carrying parts 41 to 44 come into contact with the underside of the dummy record 100 at positions indicated by symbols P1 to P4 in FIG.

[0041] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the simulated record 200 is configured in a disk shape with an even smaller diameter than the simulated record 100, and is made of a non-conductive material such as resin. The configuration of the simulated record 200 is basically the same as that of the simulated record 1, so a description of the common configuration will be omitted. As shown in Figure 10, a current-carrying portion 200a is formed on the underside of the simulated record 200. The configuration of the current-carrying portion 200a is also basically the same as that of the current-carrying portion 1a. The simulated record 200 of this embodiment imitates an SP record.

[0042] The tips of the current-carrying parts 41 to 44 come into contact with the underside of the dummy record 200 at positions indicated by symbols P1 to P4 in FIG.

[0043] The simulated records 1, 100, and 200 have through holes formed in their centers for attaching them to the shaft 9 (see FIGS. 5, 8, and 10).

[0044] The relationship between the contact patterns of the conductive parts 41 to 44 on the simulated records 1, 100, and 200 and the operation of the processing unit 7 will be described later.

[0045] (How to use the record player type toy in the first embodiment) Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a method of using the record player type toy of this embodiment will be described.

[0046] (Step SA-1 in Figure 6) As shown in FIG. 4, the initial state is assumed to be a state in which the simulated turntable 3 is not equipped with the simulated records 1, 100, and 200.

[0047] In this state, the user attaches the simulated record 1 to the shaft 9 and then screws the pressing member 10 onto the shaft 9. This allows the simulated record 1 to be attached to the simulated turntable 3. As the pressing member 10 is screwed onto the shaft 9, it descends and presses down on the simulated record 1. This in turn presses down the simulated turntable 3. Then, the current-carrying parts 41 to 44 of the detection unit 4 come into contact with the current-carrying unit 1a shown in FIG. 5 at positions P1 to P4 according to the following correspondence relationship, thereby conducting electricity. In this embodiment, this correspondence relationship (i.e., the pattern of current-carrying states of the current-carrying units) is referred to as a "contact pattern." Position P1: Conductive part 41 is conducting Position P2: Conductive part 42 is not conducting Position P3: Conductive part 43 is not conducting Position P4: Conductive part 44 is conducting

[0048] Here, the current-carrying parts 41 and 44 are electrically connected to each other via the current-carrying section 1a.

[0049] (Step SA-2 in Figure 6) The processing unit 7 detects whether or not the current-carrying parts 41-44 are energized due to their contact with the simulated record 1 (i.e., which energized parts are energized). This allows the processing unit 7 of this embodiment to obtain the contact pattern of the current-carrying parts 41-44 with the simulated record 1.

[0050] (Step SA-3 in Figure 6) Next, the user rotates the tone arm type play switch 11 toward the dummy record 1. This turns on the play switch 11. Figure 1 shows the play switch 11 rotated so that its tip is positioned on the top surface of the dummy record 1.

[0051] (Step SA-4 in Figure 6) When the processing unit 7 detects that the playback switch 11 has been turned on, it searches the recording unit 6 for sounds that correspond to the contact pattern of the current-carrying parts 41 to 44 with the dummy record 1.

[0052] (Step SA-5 in Figure 6) Furthermore, the processing unit 7 acquires the searched sound from the recording unit 6 and plays it back through the speaker 5. As a result, the record player type toy of this embodiment can play back sounds that correspond to the shape of the imitation record.

[0053] After the playback is completed, the playback switch 11 is returned to the initial position (see FIG. 4), which turns off the playback switch 11. When the playback switch 11 is turned off, the processing unit 7 stops the operation of the speaker 5 even if audio is being played back.

[0054] In the record player toy of this embodiment, different sounds can be reproduced when different simulated records 100 and 200 are used. This point will be explained below.

[0055] In the above-mentioned step SA-1, when the user attaches the simulated record 100 to the simulated turntable 3, the conductive parts 41 to 44 of the detection unit 4 come into contact with the conductive part 100a shown in Figure 8 at positions P1 to P4 according to the following correspondence relationship. Positions P1 to P4: Conductive parts 41 to 44 are all conductive

[0056] In this case, the current-carrying parts 41 and 44 form one closed circuit to conduct electricity, and the current-carrying parts 42 and 43 form another closed circuit to conduct electricity.

[0057] Next, after detecting that the playback switch 11 has been turned on, the processing unit 7 can search the recording unit 6 for and play back the sound corresponding to the contact pattern of the current-carrying parts 41-44 on the simulated record 100. This operation is the same as that described above.

[0058] In the above-mentioned step SA-1, when the user mounts the simulated record 200 on the simulated turntable 3, the conductive parts 41 to 44 of the detection unit 4 come into contact with the conductive part 200a shown in Figure 10 at positions P1 to P4 according to the following correspondence relationship. Position P1: Conductive part 41 is not conducting Position P2: Conductive part 42 is conducting Position P3: Conductive part 43 is conducting Position P4: Conductive part 44 is not conducting

[0059] Next, after detecting that the playback switch 11 has been turned on, the processing unit 7 can search the recording unit 6 for and play back the sound corresponding to the contact pattern of the energized parts 41 to 44 on the simulated record 200. This operation is also the same as that described above.

[0060] (Step SA-6 in Figure 6) Next, the procedure for recording audio in the recording unit 6 will be described. Audio recording may be performed before or after the playback procedure described in steps SA-1 to SA-5. If audio recording is performed after the playback procedure described in steps SA-1 to SA-5, audio that can be played back can be recorded in advance in the recording unit 6 with an appropriate index according to the contact pattern.

[0061] To record audio, the user performs steps SA-1 and SA-2, and then turns on the audio recording switch 13. Specifically, since the audio recording switch 13 in this embodiment is a push button, the audio recording switch is turned on by pressing the switch.

[0062] (Step SA-6 in Figure 6) Next, the user inputs voice via microphone 12. Processing unit 7 then records the input voice in recording unit 6. At this time, processing unit 7 records the voice in recording unit 6 in association with the contact pattern detected by detection unit 4. In this way, during playback, processing unit 7 can extract and play back the corresponding voice using the contact pattern as a search key (index).

[0063] In this way, the record player toy of this embodiment can reproduce different sounds depending on the shape of the simulated records 1, 100, and 200. This has the advantage of providing a record player toy that is even more interesting than conventional ones.

[0064] (Second embodiment) Next, a record player type toy according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 11 to 15. In the description of the second embodiment, elements that are basically common to the first embodiment described above will be assigned the same reference numerals to avoid duplication of description.

[0065] In the record player type toy of the second embodiment, conductive parts 45 and 46 are additionally provided as the detection unit 4 (see FIG. 11). These conductive parts 45 and 46 are basically configured in the same way as the conductive parts 41 to 44 already described, except for their positions.

[0066] Furthermore, the simulated record 1 used had four types of conductive parts 1b to 1e formed on the underside thereof, as shown in FIGS.

[0067] That is, an electric current portion 1b is formed on the underside of the simulated record 1 shown in Fig. 12. The electric current portion 1b comes into contact with electric current parts 41 to 46 at positions P1 to P6 according to the following correspondence relationship. Position P1: Conductive part 41 is not conducting Position P2: Conductive part 42 is not conducting Position P3: Conductive part 43 is not conducting Position P4: Conductive part 44 is not conducting Position P5: Conductive part 45 is conducting Position P6: Conductive part 46 is energized

[0068] An electric current conducting portion 1c is formed on the underside of the dummy record 1 shown in Figure 13. The electric current conducting portion 1b comes into contact with electric current conducting parts 41 to 46 at positions P1 to P6 according to the following correspondence relationship. Position P1: Conductive part 41 is conducting Position P2: Conductive part 42 is not conducting Position P3: Conductive part 43 is not conducting Position P4: Conductive part 44 is conducting (conductive part 41 is conducting as a pair) Position P5: Conductive part 45 is conducting Position P6: Conductive part 46 is conducting (conductive part 45 is conducting as a pair)

[0069] An electric current conducting portion 1d is formed on the underside of the simulated record 1 shown in Figure 14. The electric current conducting portion 1b comes into contact with electric current conducting parts 41 to 46 at positions P1 to P6 according to the following correspondence relationship. Position P1: Conductive part 41 is conducting Position P2: Conductive part 42 is conducting Position P3: Conductive part 43 is conducting (conductive part 42 is conducting as a pair) Position P4: Conductive part 44 is conducting (conductive part 41 is conducting as a pair) Position P5: Conductive part 45 is conducting Position P6: Conductive part 46 is conducting (conductive part 45 is conducting as a pair)

[0070] Current-carrying portions 1e and 1f are formed on the underside of the dummy record 1 shown in Fig. 15. The current-carrying portions 1e and 1f come into contact with current-carrying parts 41 to 46 at positions P1 to P6 according to the following correspondence relationships. Position P1: Conductive part 41 is not conducting Position P2: The conducting part 42 conducts electricity through the conducting portion 1e Position P3: Conductive part 43 is energized via the energizing section 1e (conductive part 43 is energized as a pair with energized part 42) Position P4: Conductive part 44 is not conducting electricity to either Position P5: Conductive part 45 conducts electricity through conductive part 1f Position P6: Conductive part 46 is energized via the energizing portion 1f (conductive part 46 is energized as a pair with conductive part 45)

[0071] The detection unit 4 can search for audio from the recording unit 6 according to these contact patterns and play it back through the speaker 5. Of course, the premise is that a search key (index) according to the contact pattern is associated with the audio data so that it can be searched.

[0072] Other configurations and advantages of the second embodiment are basically the same as those of the first embodiment described above, so further detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0073] The record player type toy of this embodiment may be one in which all components, including the simulated records 1, 100, and 200 and the main body 2, are housed in a capsule (not shown) and can be sold as a capsule toy.

[0074] The above-described embodiment is merely an example and does not represent essential components of the present invention. The configuration of each part is not limited to the above, as long as the gist of the present invention can be achieved.

[0075] For example, the main body 2 may have a spring that urges and presses any or all of the current-carrying parts 41 to 46 toward the simulated records 1, 100, and 200. [Explanation of symbols]
