  • Patent number: 4725237
    Abstract: A children's educational apparatus comprising a driving member and a control member. The driving member includes a driving roll and two driven rolls, all which rotate together. A set of cards is set on each of the driven rolls, cards in one set being printed with mathematical questions and cards in the other set being printed with the solutions corresponding to those questions. The control member includes pressing keys on a keyboard, each of which is marked with a number on the upper face thereof and connects to a keying arm. When pressing the keys on which correct members corresponding to solutions of the mathematical questions are marked, the keying arms will be forced to move, thus forcing a pushing element to push the driving roll to rotate, then changing the cards to the next one.
