Voice generating device

Claim 1

A voice generating device comprising: n input signal lines wherein n denotes an integer of 2 or more), each of which receives a separate input signal each of said input signal lines being sequentially assigned a priority in the order of from a first to an n-th priority; a preferential selection circuit connected to said input signal lines and having output terminals respectively corresponding to said input signals lines, said preferential selection circuit being adapted to pass to a corresponding output terminal one input signal received at an input signal line whose priority is higher than that of other input signal when a plurality of input signals are received; voice generating means including a recorded disc having n different messages recorded thereon at positions respectively corresponding to said output terminals of said preferential selection circuit, said voice generating means reproducing the one of said n different messages corresponding to the output terminal at which the passed input signal appears; rotary switch means for sequentially scanning the output terminals of said preferential selection circuit to detect the output terminal at which the passed input signal appears; and driving means responsive to the passed input signal appearing at the corresponding output terminal of said preferential selection circuit for driving said voice generating means and said rotary switch means in a timed relationship with each other so that a message recorded at the position of said recorded disc corresponding to the output terminal scanned and detected by said rotary switch means is reproduced.
