Abstract: An electronic toy which enunciates words or phrases corresponding to sentence parts and a complete sentence by enunciating sounds corresponding to words of phrases selected from a plurality of addresses of a first memory representing audio data corresponding to such words or phrases arranged in each of a plurality of categories. The selected words or phrases correspond to different parts of speech, such as subjects, verbs, adjectives, direct objects and prepositional phrases. The selections are assembled in the second memory and enunciated. The toy may resemble a book in appearance and has printed lettering and color graphics corresponding to the words or phrases.

Abstract: A hobby horse includes a neck and head portion secured to the user's waist by a belt attachment. A rein switch is supported within the head interior and is coupled to each end of a closed rein set and is responsive to pulling action upon the reins. A motion sensing switch is supported within the head portion of the hobby horse and responds to motion and changes of motion of the child user and hobby horse. A pair of pressure sensitive switches are disposed proximate the forehead and mouth portions of the hobby horse and respond to simulated feeding and petting actions on the part of the user. A sound producing circuit includes a battery power system, a speaker and a sound sensitizing circuit operatively coupled to the range switch, the motion switch, the forehead switch, and the mouth switch to provide a plurality of sound outputs responsive to play activities sensed by the switches. The rein sensing switch is resistant to overstressing by the child user in pulling upon the reins.

Abstract: A system of interlocking keyed play pieces is adapted for receiving and displaying indicia bearing tile members. Each of the play pieces is provided with a display window through which the tiles may be viewed. The pieces may be interconnected both laterally and longitudinally to enable a child to interconnect the play pieces in an infinite number of combinations so as to form a multitude of structures of varying configurations.

Abstract: A game which simulates the sights and sounds of vehicles such as automobiles racing on one or more tracks, in which a vehicle is steered to avoid simulated crashing into the oncoming vehicles on the tracks, thus completing one or more laps of the race within a fixed time interval. The game includes an enclosure and a transparent panel which is an inclined front part of the enclosure and is both light transmissive and light reflective. Light is admitted into the enclosure from above. A plurality of movable belts having a horizontal reach are mounted within the enclosure, together with means to move the belts along their reaches. At least one toy vehicle is mounted on each belt, so that the motion of the toy vehicles as the belts move is visible through the inclined transparent panel. Another toy vehicle is disposed below the inclined transparent panel so that its image is reflected from the panel in juxtaposition with the toy vehicles on the belts.

Abstract: A doll with a simulated identity or plurality of identities. The simulation is attained by providing a transparent panel which is both light transmissive and light reflective and which is viewed by the child playing with the doll, which doll is mounted in front of the transparent panel. The transparent panel defines the front of an enclosure so that the movable panel, when in position, is generally parallel to and spaced from the transparent panel. The movable panel bears a recognizable portion of the identity desired. The balance of the surface of the movable panel is light absorptive, and the balance of the interior of the enclosure is also light absorptive. The doll is placed in front of the transparent panel and spaced therefrom by a distance generally equal to the distance between the two panels, so that the image of the doll reflected from the transparent panel appears to be coincident with the identity portion of the movable panel within the enclosure.
