  • Patent number: 5571037
    Abstract: A noise making toy in the shape of a hammer. A handle is attached to a collapsible plastic bellows. The bellows has a striking base closing one end and an opening at its opposite end. A sphere closing the opening is attached to the striking base by a tether which may either be rigid or elastic. When the striking base of the bellows is hit against a surface, the bellows is compressed, unseating the sphere and forcing air out through the opening thus creating a noise. When the bellows returns to its uncompressed condition, the tether returns the sphere to its seated position.
