A computer peripheral toy device is provided that connects to a personal computer and enables a child user to create drawings, animated figures, cards, posters, and other projects and items. The device includes a housing having a drawing tablet and a stylus that connects to the housing for use on the drawing tablet. There a plurality of buttons on the top surface of the housing that a user depresses when engaging in a drawing activity. Computer software is provided for installation on the personal computer in order to display data associated with a drawing activity. When executed by the computer, the computer software causes the computer to respond to the messages received from the controller to engage in a drawing activity using drawing style parameters based on which of the drawing style buttons, color palette buttons and design tool buttons are selected by a user.

Hand-held electronic drawing device

A musical drawing assembly having a drawing board on which a person can draw. A sensor is adapted to sense drawing movement on the drawing board. A storage device stores accompaniment melodies each having a different succession of musical tones. The storage device stores instrumental melodies corresponding to different musical instruments and each having a different succession of musical tones. The musical drawing assembly also includes a device for selecting one of the accompaniment melodies, and a device for selecting a musical instrument that corresponds to one of the different musical instruments. A controller is configured to output the selected one of the accompaniment melodies to an output device during the drawing movement and to output one of the instrumental melodies that corresponds to the selected instrument to the output device in response to the drawing movement.

Musical drawing assembly

A dual purpose optical device that is convertible between binocular and stereoscope modes of operation while using a common eyepiece arrangement for both. The device includes a housing containing a pair of optic supports mounted side-by-side for lateral movement towards and away from one another. Each support preferably carries three lenses. Two lenses on each support serve as the eyepiece and are aligned in a common plane with an eyepiece opening through the housing and a rotatable mirror assembly. The assembly pivots substantially ninety degrees from opposing forty-five degree angle positions with respect to the plane through the eyepiece opening and the eye and field lenses so as to fold the lines of sight either up or down within the housing. A circular photo transparency reel is received horizontally in a slot provided on an upper side of the housing. Each optic support is provided with three fixed mirrors which fold the lines of sight directed downward by the rotating mirror through an objective lens located at an opposite end of the housing. The three lenses on each optic support collectively form a binocular lens train while two of the lenses of each set form a magnifying lens train. A spring biases the optic supports together and against tapered, longitudinally extending sides of a cam mounted for longitudinal movement in the housing. A wheel projects partially through the bottom of the housing and supports pinions that are engaged with racks on the cam to provide manual interpupillary spacing adjustment of the optic supports. In the stereosope mode of operation, the interpupillary distance between the eyepieces is automatically set in response to converting between the two modes so that it matches the distance separating corresponding stereo pairs.
