Patent ID: 8911275

Claim:
A toy construction system comprising: a plurality of interconnectable building elements; a control system that generates an electromagnetic signal; a vibration speaker including: a permanent magnet that is moveable; a coil positioned near the permanent magnet and moveable relative to the permanent magnet, the coil configured to receive the electromagnetic signal from the control system such that the coil, the permanent magnet, or both vibrate in a manner that is based on the electromagnetic signal; and a sound producer including a diaphragm that is mechanically linked to the coil to vibrate with the coil as the coil vibrates; and a support building element that is mechanically linked to the permanent magnet of the vibration speaker; wherein: the coil vibrates relative to the permanent magnet when the electromagnetic signal includes frequencies within a first frequency range, the vibration of the coil causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce an audible sound, and the permanent magnet vibrates when the electromagnetic signal includes frequencies within a second frequency range, the vibration of the permanent magnet causing the support building element to vibrate.
