Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel record player adapted for toys. The record player has a casing with a lid pivotally mounted to the upper surface. A turntable with a phonograph record attached thereto is rotatably secured to the underface of the lid. A pickup is mounted within the casing to allow a stylus to be reciprocatively movable along the grooves in the downward facing record. A mechanism for harmonizing the stylus pressure is provided on the upper portion of the casing consisting of a lever pivoted opposite the lid pivot and a spring to urge one end of the lever into engagement with the lid. Consequently, a part of the weight of the upper lid, turntable and record is applied to the stylus so that appropriate stylus pressure is obtained. At the end of one cycle of playback operation, the end of the lever is depressed to lift the lid disengage the stylus from the grooves and allow a spring to return the pickup to the original position.

Abstract: A sound making movable toy which is provided with a sound making device and driving wheels driven by a driving power source, the sound making device comprising: a blowing chamber having a fan and a sounding aperture; a main resonance chamber communicating with the sounding aperture; a resonance control chamber communicating with the main resonance chamber; a piston reciprocating within the resonance control chamber; and a crank mechanism to move the piston; thereby the sounds of various pitches being produced by changing the resonant volume of a resonance space defined by the main resonance chamber and the resonance control chamber with the reciprocating motion of the piston.
