Abstract
A battery powered toy telephone capable of playing in random order any one of several recorded messages, and also capable of intermittent ringing of a bell. Operation of the toy proceeds by turning on a switch, by pressing one or more buttons located below the dial of the toy telephone to cause the bell to ring intermittently, and then by removing the headset to play one of the recorded messages. The messages are recorded in separate grooves on a rotating sound disc that is disengaged from a stylus sliding in contact with a speaker cone by replacing the headset or pressing the strut, which must occur between consecutive messages. The bell rings intermittently only when the toy is turned on, the headset is in place or the strut is being pressed, and one of the buttons is being pressed, or has been pressed since replacing the headset or while depressing the strut.
