  • Patent number: 7144293
    Abstract: A toy comprises a three-dimensional body that can be compressed to actuate a squeaker chamber to move air through a squeaker device. The squeaker chamber is formed by an elongated resilient member in the toy body that can be actuated to operate the squeaker device from a location on the toy distal from the squeaker device. In one embodiment, the resilient member is one or more elastic bladders and in another embodiment the resilient member is one or more resilient tubes. The squeaker chamber may be of various configurations for a variety of toy shapes.

  • Publication number: 20020134318
    Abstract: A toy comprises a three-dimensional body that can be compressed to actuate a squeaker chamber to move air through a squeaker device. In one form a slot forms an air passage between the outside of the toy and the squeaker chamber, and a squeaker is mounted in the slot recessed from the surface so it is not easily accessible. The slot may be arranged with a length that is long compared to the length of the squeaker, with the squeaker mounted adjacent the squeaker chamber. Alternatively, a treat-retaining cavity may form an opening between the slot and the outer surface of the toy. In other embodiments squeaker chamber is formed by an elongated resilient member in the toy body that can be actuated to operate the squeaker device for a location on the toy distal from the squeaker device. Various combinations of couplers and squeaker devices result in a variety of squeaker system configurations for a variety of toy shapes.
