Abstract
Abstract A sound recording and reproducing device to be used alone or in conjunction with photographs or similar still visual images. Both a sound recording or reproducing track and the still images are replaceable in order that a message or statement pertinent to the subject matter of a still image can be associated by the sound reproducing or recording track while at the same time permitting the device to be used with a plurality of visual images and sound reproducing or recording tracks. The device comprises a frame for supporting the still images on one side thereof, a rotatable surface which supports the sound track, and a non-concentric rotatable spiral track to establish a locus for a recording or reproducing head.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A cartridge for use in recording and reproducing audible signals, comprising: a cartridge frame; a generally disc-like carrier means rotatably mounted on the frame for rotation about a first axis and having means defining a recording surface thereon capable of retaining a recorded message; a generally disc-like, separate locus generating means rotatably mounted on the frame for rotation about a second axis generally parallel to said first axiS and disposed generally coplanar with the carrier means for use in properly orientating an appropriate transducer head with respect to the recording surface during recording and playback; and means directly, drivingly interconnecting the disc-like members whereby one of which is a driving member and the other of which is a driven member, for rotating the driven member in a direction opposite that of the driving member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A cartridge for use in recording and reproducing audible signals, comprising: a cartridge frame; a generally disc-like carrier means rotatably mounted on the frame for rotation about a first axis and having means defining a recording surface thereon capable of retaining a recorded message; a generally disc-like, separate locus generating means rotatably mounted on the frame for rotation about a second axis generally parallel to said first axiS and disposed generally coplanar with the carrier means for use in properly orientating an appropriate transducer head with respect to the recording surface during recording and playback; and means directly, drivingly interconnecting the disc-like members whereby one of which is a driving member and the other of which is a driven member, for rotating the driven member in a direction opposite that of the driving member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The device of claim 1 wherein the means directly drivingly interconnecting the disc-like members comprises gear teeth about the periphery of the carrier means in engagement with complementary gear teeth about the periphery of the locus generating means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The device of claim 1 wherein the carrier means has means for interchangeably mounting a recording member having said recording surface thereon, thereby permitting the use of a plurality of recording members containing different messages.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The device of claim 3 wherein the frame has means for interchangeably mounting a visual image thereon thereby permitting the use of a plurality of visual images to be associated with the recorded message of one or more of said recorded members.
