Abstract: A mouth-operated game call comprising at least one sound-making diaphragm, a frame in which an edge portion of the diaphragm is received, and a housing in which the frame is received, wherein the housing is composed at least partially of a cushion or foam material in order to provide improved sealing against the roof of the mouth or denture plate and to relieve discomfort on the tongue by a tab of the call. A member is positioned between the frame and the housing and is shaped to effect a curvature of an outer surface of the housing for sealingly conforming to a contour of a user's palate or upper denture plate. The frame is folded to comprise a pair of upper and lower frame portions between which the diaphragm is received and wherein a tab on the lower frame portion is folded over onto the upper frame portion so that the tab is not in a position to irritate the user's tongue.

Abstract: A holder for a cylindrical game call or other object. A pair of opposed cooperating jaws made of acrylonitrile butadiene stryene or other spring material resiliently hold the call. A member is detachably attachable to a tree trunk or other structure, and the jaws are rotatable relative to said member so that the call may be easily rotated alternately between right-side-up and upside-down positions for making sounds, without the necessity of a hunter having to hold the call.

Abstract: A reeded game call or other reeded sound-making device. End portions of a sounding board and a reed are wedged in a tubular housing with the reed end portion disposed on surface of the sounding board end portion, and the end portions extend therefrom into a mouthpiece with the sounding board supporting the reed for vibration thereof to make wild game sounds. In order to prevent stickage of the reed to the sounding board due to moisture, the sounding board comprises a pair of wall portions which extend from width-defining margins of an elongate floor portion and which terminate in edges against which the reed vibrates. The sounding board end portion surface is disposed above the sounding board edges so that the reed does not engage the sounding board edges adjacent the sounding board end portion thereby to alleviate sticking of the reed to the sounding board edges due to moisture at this position adjacent the sounding board end portion.
