Abstract: A sound-giving tread mat has a bag-like tread mat, a foam rubber sheet interposed in the tread mat, one or more buzzers partly adhered on the inner surface of the lower layer of the tread mat, and a sound-giving electric unit to give out sounds. The buzzer(s) is electrically connected with the sound-giving unit placed on a corner surface of the tread mat or somewhere inside a door in a house. When the tread mat is treaded on with a shoe of a visitor, the buzzer(s) can be vibrated by the compressed air in the tread mat to give out an electric signal, and then the sound-giving electric unit amplifies the electric signal coming from the buzzer(s) and gives out sounds.

Abstract: An electronic music and sound mixing device, to be combined with a doll or a toy animal. The device comprising a mix ROM and a speech ROM for storing digital data of melodies, accompaniments and animal voices, a logical control circuit for controlling the operation of this device responsive to external signals to play a single song or all of the stored songs, once or continuously. The devices further include melody and accompaniment generators for treating the digital data read from the mix ROM and couples their output to a mix circuit which mixes the signals and shapes them into square waves for coupling to an amplifier for generating an audio output. The device can also output synchronized signals simultaneously to drive a motor to give facial expressions and limb movements to the toy animal in accordance with the song played.
