  • Patent number: 5855500
    Abstract: A candy holder noisemaker device designed to make a clacking or ringing sound. The device has a main housing, a switch, a motor and a power supply. The housing encompasses a gearing system with cam rods, clacker arms with attached clacker balls, a clacker bell and a replaceable lollipop. The housing can be made of plastic or any suitable material. Located within the main housing is the power supply that makes contact with the switch, which in turn operates the motor. An upper housing contains the gearing system with the can rods. When the gearing system is engaged, the cam rods make contact with spring loaded clacker arms. This causes the clacker balls, which are attached to the clacker arms and located above the upper housing, to strike alternately on the sides of the clacker bell making a clacker or ringing sound. The clacker bell is attached to the top of the upper housing so the clacker bell can move slightly when struck by the clacker balls.
