Abstract:
1. A device for producing sound configured to be selectably mounted by a user on a package, said device comprising: a package having a first portion and a second portion separate and detached from the first portion, with said first and second portions movable relative to each other from a closed position to an open position; a power source; a sound module adapted to produce sound when electrically connected to said power source; mounting means permitting the user to selectably mount said sound module on said first portion of said package; a switch electrically interposed between said sound module and said power source and configured to move between a non-conducting position in which said power source is not electrically connected to said sound module and a conducting position in which said power source is electrically connected to said sound module; a switch actuator linked to said switch to move it from the non-conducting position to the conducting position; and attaching means permitting the user to attach said switch actuator to said second portion of said package, said switch actuator and said mounting means being configured such that when said first and second portions of said package are moved from the closed to the open position said switch moves from its non-conductive to its conducting position, thereby to connect said power source to said sound module and cause said sound module to produce sound; said switch actuator comprising an elongated strip having a distal end including said attaching means, and a proximal end cooperating with said switch, and whereby in said open position said first and second portions are separate and detached such that said strip is remote from said switch and said first portion, and said distal end of said strip remains attached to said second portion.
