  • Patent number: 8808055
    Abstract: A protruding tongue and sounding structure of a puppet includes a protruding tongue and sounding device mounted inside the puppet. The puppet is a soft and hollow bag-shaped configuration. The protruding tongue and sounding device includes a housing and a slide member which is movable in the housing by air flow. A whistle is provided in the slide member. The slide member includes a tongue at one end thereof. The tongue can extend out of the slide member and the puppet. When the puppet is pressed by the user's fingers, the air in the puppet flows out through the protruding tongue and sounding device. The air in the puppet pushes the slide member of the protruding tongue and sounding device to move outward and forces the whistle to sound. Furthermore, the tongue extends outward, like the puppet to protrude its tongue.

  • Publication number: 20100317253
    Abstract: A rotating structure capable of revolution and rotation includes a base, a gear device mounted on the base, and an ornament coupled to a rotation shaft of the gear device. The present invention uses the gear device to turn the ornament. The gear device has another rotation shaft fixed to the base. When an external force is applied to turn the gear device, the gear device will generate power for the ornament to rotate itself and to move around, providing a dual effect of rotation and revolution. By the difference between the two rotational speeds, the present invention provides a novel vision effect.

  • Publication number: 20090101486
    Abstract: A triggering structure provided in a housing includes a circuit body, a pillar, an elastic part, a light-emitting part, and a power supply unit. Part of the pillar in the housing is exposed. When being pushed with an external force to draw back to the inside of housing, the pillar may make the contact points disconnecting from each other in the circuit body, thereby the light-emitting part being made to light; contrarily, when the pillar normally extends out of the housing, the circuit where the disconnected contact points is not turned ON by the pillar is open, and thus the light-emitting part does not work. Depending on a service state, the triggering structure may automatically enable and disable a sound-light part and may be applied to various products.
