Publication number: 20170055518Abstract: An animal call device commonly referred to as a grunt tube. The grunt tube generally includes a housing, a reed, and an adjustment arm adapted to engage the reed. The adjustment arm is combined with a first portion of the grunt tube which may be one of either the outlet end, the housing, or the mouthpiece. The reed is combined with a second portion of the grunt tube which may be a different one of either the outlet end, the housing, or the mouthpiece. The first portion of the grunt tube moves relative to the second portion of the grunt tube thereby causing the adjustment arm to move relative to the reed and engage the reed at different locations to change the sound produced by the grunt tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Applicant: Hunters Specialties, Inc.Inventors: Scott Thomas, Ron Bean, Jesse Kruska, Garrett Fink, David Schweitzer

Publication number: 20170000108Abstract: An animal call commonly referred to as a grunt tube. The animal call generally includes an elongated housing, a reed, an expandable member, and an adjustment member. The housing includes a mouthpiece end that allows air to enter the tubular member, an outlet end that emits sounds, and an opening in a wall of the tubular member between the mouthpiece end and the outlet end. The reed vibrates in response to passing air and is disposed within the housing near the mouthpiece end and the opening. An adjustment member has an adjustment arm which contacts the reed. A user can modify the sounds emanating from the outlet end by changing the position of the adjustment arm along the length of the reed to change the vibrational characteristics of the reed. The expandable member is made from a flexible and elastic material thereby allowing it to have a first position wherein it is retracted and a second position where it is extended.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Applicant: Hunters Specialties, Inc.Inventors: Ron Bean, Scott Thomas
