Abstract
A sound producing device for a toy includes a base, and rotatably mounted on the base a rotating member. The rotating member is capable of rotating both clockwise annd counterclockwise. A member is located on the base adjacent to the rotating member such that in response to rotation of the rotating member in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, respectively, the rotating member contacts and engages the member and moves the member in a first and a second direction, respectively. A noise emitting mechanism is also located on the base and is operatively associated with the member. The noise emitting mechanism is capable of emitting at least two different types of noise. The member in contacting the noise emitting mechanism in response to movement of the member in a first direction causes the noise emitting mechanism to emit a noise of a first type and the member in contacting the noise emitting mechanism in response to movement in a second direction causes the noise emitting mechanism to emit noise of a second type.
