Abstract

A hand held light up and action toy including a wand like housing with a means for holding and controlling on one end and a opposite end generally enlarged as compared to the wand-like body, with lighting disposed at various positions on the toy, with a means for blowing air contained therein.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to the field of hand-held novelty toys, more particularly to those toys which light up and perform some action under the control of the user such as activation of light displays or generating air movement.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • There are a great many hand held wand type novelty toys in the art. Many are not disclosed in patents but can be found with an internet search. Many are disclosed in the patent literature. These toys vary in complexity from simple wands with minimal ornamentation such as for a birthday or sporting event with names or logos, or ribbons that have no lighting or other functions to very complicated light up toys with printed circuit boards and motorized moving parts. Many that have motorized moving parts are used to generate soap bubbles or twirl parts with flashing lights. All of these toys are simply for play value. They provide entertainment by creating interesting light patterns or soap bubbles, or just help create a festive atmosphere.
  • US2006/0116050A1 describes an illuminated bubble wand which allows the user to enhance his enjoyment of making bubbles under low light conditions by with a light wand utilizing LED technology or chemi-luminescent technology contained in the wand body with a shaped end loop for mechanically producing bubbles by waving the wand after dipping it in a soap solution.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,102,764A, U.S. Pat. No. 6,331,130B1, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,547,622B2 are hand-held devices that have air blowing capability, but are directed solely to generating soap bubbles.
  • US2006/0270309A1 and US20060094327A1 are more complicated devices which produce interesting light and sound patterns using motorized mechanisms, LEDs, and printed circuit boards to create a festive atmosphere.
  • Many individuals, especially children with special needs, have the need to feel that they are having an effect in certain situations. None of the previous art discovered is designed to give the user, especially a child with special needs, the feeling of affectance in his environment. Therefore, this device is intended to not only provide an interesting display of lights and a festive atmosphere, but to provide the user with the sense that he has caused something to happen by the use of this toy such as blowing out the candles on a birthday cake.
  • The act of blowing in itself is challenging to some individuals, especially with poor motor control, and can result in spraying drops of saliva, creating an unsanitary condition. Therefore, a person with this condition would not be able to effectively participate in blowing out candles on a birthday cake, and may have negative feelings as a result.
  • Therefore there is a need for a device that is fun to use, entertaining and festive, but also allows a person with special needs to participate fully in a birthday or other celebration by giving him the ability to blow out candles on a birthday cake.
  • There could also be many other entertainment uses for this device with its unique abilities of blowing air, flashing lights, and playing musical segments.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is a novelty item which is generally wand-like having a handle with control means on one end, an elongated body which may be decorated with lights or other decorative items such as patterns displayed on the body material, and a end of the wand body opposite the handle being generally enlarged as compared to the wand body said enlarged end having a circular, polygonal, or fan shape. The generally enlarged end may also take the shape of a crown, such as for a king. Said opposite end will emit a stream of air sufficient to blow out candles or move other light objects being powered with a blowing device. Said enlarged end may also be decorated in the same manner as said body of the wand. The wand controls located in said handle can activate lights, the air blowing mechanism, and/or sound devices. An example of said sound device would be a miniaturized electronic synthesizer. Said sound device could play “Happy Birthday” or some other tune when activated by said controls means. It is easy to see that the present invention can take on many variations of shape and design and not depart from the original spirit of the invention.
