  • Patent number: 6210251
    Abstract: A feathered game call apparatus that simulates the wing sounds of a game bird. One preferred game call comprises an array of feathers and a handle having a gripping portion for manually manipulating the call and a feather-receiving area. The array of feathers is sequentially grouped and nested closely together so as to resemble an actual wing of a game bird. Each feather comprises a stem end and a tip end. The feathers are arranged generally in a spaced relationship in a common plane. The stems converge toward a common point of intersection at the handle, and diverge outwardly away from the handle to form a plurality of acute angles with respect to each other. The feathers are flared outwardly in a cantilevered, sequential, fan-shaped, nested fashion from the handle. An end feather may be turned inwardly to simulate the make-up of an actual wing of a game bird.

  • Patent number: 5803785
    Abstract: A game call is disclosed which includes a bell, a sound generator in communication with the bell, a bellows in communication with the sound generator, and a cap removably attached to the bell to substantially prevent the game call from sounding while the cap is attached to the bell and to prevent debris from entering the game call. To facilitate attachment of the cap to the bell, a groove is formed on the cap interior surface, the groove being sized to interlock with a lip formed on the bell exterior surface to provide a secure interlocking relationship between the cap and the bell. A cap tether which effectively couples the call to the game call is provided to prevent the cap from being lost or misplaced while not attached to the bell.
