Abstract

Abstract A doll heart monitoring toy includes a doll element, a stethoscope element, an electronic device operative for producing signals imitating at least one characteristic of heart activity and arranged in one of the elements, and a magnetic member arranged to activate the electronic device upon bringing the magnetic member in proximity to the electronic device, or in other words upon bringing the stethoscope close to the heart region of the doll. The electronic device including a sensor and signal generators for activating a sound device and a light device in response to the sensor sensing pulse beats of a user.

Claim 5
Dependent Claim 20 words
A toy as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensor is formed so that it senses biopotential of the user.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 21 words
A toy as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensor of said electronic means is formed as an infrared transmission transducer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 26 words
A toy as defined in claim 1; and further comprising clothes on a body of said doll element, said magnetic member being arranged on the clothes.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 28 words
A toy as defined in claim 1, wherein said signal generator is formed so that it generates audio signals corresponding to the pulse beats sensed by said sensor.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 28 words
A toy as defined in claim 1, wherein said signal generator is formed so that it generates video signals corresponding to the pulse beats sensed by said sensor.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 50 words
A toy as defined in claim 1, wherein said electronic means includes a further signal generator, said signal generators being formed so that one of said signal generators generates audio signals and the other of said signal generators generates video signals corresponding to the pulse beats sensed by said sensor.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 32 words
A toy as defined in claim 1; and further comprising display means connected with said electronic means and displaying data corresponding to the pulse beats of the user, sensed by said sensor.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 177 words
A doll heart monitoring toy, comprising a doll element; a stethoscope element; electronic means producing at least one characteristic which is an immitation of a heart activity; and a magnetic member operative for turning on said electronic means when said magnetic member and at least one part of said electronic means are brought into proximity with one another, said electronic means being arranged in one part of said doll element, while said magnetic member is arranged in said stethoscope element so that when said stethoscope element is brought into proximity to said one part of said doll element said electronic means is turned on and said at least one characteristic which immitates heart activity is produced, said electronic means including means forming an image of expanding and contracting heart in said doll element so that when said electronic means is turned on said image of expanding and contracting heart is formed in said doll element and visible to a viewer as expanding and contracting heart which is said one characteristic which said is immitation of heart activity.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 177 words
A doll heart monitoring toy, comprising a doll element; a stethoscope element; electronic means producing at least one characteristic which is an immitation of a heart activity; and a magnetic member operative for turning on said electronic means when said magnetic member and at least one part of said electronic means are brought into proximity with one another, said electronic means being arranged in one part of said doll element, while said magnetic member is arranged in said stethoscope element so that when said stethoscope element is brought into proximity to said one part of said doll element said electronic means is turned on and said at least one characteristic which immitates heart activity is produced, said electronic means including means forming an image of expanding and contracting heart in said doll element so that when said electronic means is turned on said image of expanding and contracting heart is formed in said doll element and visible to a viewer as expanding and contracting heart which is said one characteristic which said is immitation of heart activity.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 28 words
A toy as defined in claim 11, wherein said electronic means is formed so that it also produces audio signals which substantially immitate pulse beats of a heart.
Claim 15
