See N Say Toy
Contents |
Description
See N Say is a children's toy where the user pulls a lever causing the wheel to spin and play animal noises. It has 38 distinct parts.
How It Works
When the input lever of the See 'N Say toy is pulled down it also moves the rack gear inside the toy. The rack gear then engages with the voice activation bar which raises the activation gear up. The activation gear has a little protrusion on it which, when raised by the voice activation bar, engages with the main circuit board and produces the proper output sound through the speaker.
To produce different letter sounds one must turn the red flipper over. When the flipper is flipped over, a different set of outputs is prodcued corresponding to the letters on the flipper. This is done by switching the contact on the letter circuit board inside the bottom flipper hold down fixture.
The purpose of the flywheel in the See 'N Say toy is to allow for a slower return of the input handle after the handle is pulled.
