Abstract: A toy including a plurality of strings arranged on the outside of the toy body. By touching two strings simultaneously, a touch switch inside the body may be triggered off to output a signal to a music integrated circuit which has a device for incontinuously outputting note signals. The signal transmitted by the touch switch activates the music integrated circuit to output only one note signal to release sound through a speaker, whereby the tempo of the music released is controlled by the player's speed of touching the strings.

Abstract: A programmable wheeled toy having a pair of steerable wheels and a pair of motor driven wheels. The steerable wheels are controlled by a programmable mechanism. The mechanism includes two parallel belts mounted to be driven by the motor. A plurality of shaft members mounted to the belts and each having thereon a slidable roller member manually positionable along the length of the shaft. A lever operatively connected to the steering wheels at one end and having the other end positioned to be contacted by the roller members to cause the lever to pivot and steer the steering wheels, and in turn cause the toy to move in a predetermined pattern.
