Abstract: The record player comprises a container, a turntable mounted in the container and rotatable by an electric motor, a speaker movable about a pivot towards the turntable under the bias of a spring, and a tone arm having a stylus and being movable with the speaker towards the turntable against the bias of a second spring so as to engage a record in use on the turntable. The second spring biases the tone arm radially outwardly of the turntable. The turntable has a central upstanding boss and a reset member is mounted for angular movement relative to the boss about the axis of the boss. The reset member and the upper end of the boss have cam surfaces biased into engagement with each other by a third spring.

Abstract: A record player suitable for a toy and comprising a container, a cover therefor, a turntable rotatably mounted on said cover, an electric motor in said container for driving the turntable, a speaker in said container, first spring means pivotably biasing the speaker towards the turntable, a tone arm having a stylus, second spring means biasing the tone arm away from the turntable and radially outwardly thereof, said tone arm being movable with said speaker towards the turntable against the bias of said second spring means for engaging a record on the turntable, switch means operable by said tone arm as the tone arm moves towards the center of the turntable to break a circuit supplying driving current to the motor, operating means for pivoting the speaker away from the turntable against the bias of the first spring means so as to allow the second spring means to move the tone arm away from and radially outwardly of the turntable.
