Abstract: A sound generating outer garment, such as a suit, a coat, or a jacket, includes switches and a sound generating circuit. The switches are connected to the sound generating circuit, and both the switches and the sound generating circuit are mounted in the garment. The sound generating circuit produces a sound or sounds in response to the actuation of one or more of the switches. Preferably, a switch is positioned at each shoulder and at each elbow of a coat or a jacket and at each knee of a pair of pants. The sound generating outer garment may also include a transmitter for transmitting the sound or sounds that are produced to an AM or FM receiver. Each switch may include a flexible and conductive first outer lamina and a flexible and insulating second outer lamina. Interposed between the two outer laminas is a resilient insulating cushion. The cushion has a number of holes formed through its thickness.

Abstract: A tone generating glove includes switches and a tone generating circuit. The switches are connected to the tone generating circuit, and both the switches and the tone generating circuit are mounted in the glove. The tone generating circuit produces a tone or tones in response to the actuation of one or more of the switches. Preferably, a switch is positioned at each finger joint of the glove. The tone generating glove may also include a transmitter for transmitting the tone or tones that are produced to an AM or FM receiver. Each switch may include a flexible insulating sheet having upper and lower surfaces and an opening formed through its thickness. Flexible and electrically conductive first and second outer laminas are respectively attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the insulating sheet. They are positioned on the surfaces of the insulating sheet so as to bridge the opening in it.
