  • Patent number: 7288035
    Abstract: The present invention is a flag or tail apparatus that incorporates an electronic sound generating device. In some embodiments of this invention, the flag or tail may be removably appended to a belt. Upon decoupling of the flag or tail in the normal course of play, the motion activated electronic sound generating device will emit a sound. The flag or tail can be used in games requiring a player to touch or capture the flag of another player. In the preferred embodiment, the exterior surface of the flag is distinctly modeled after the texture, pattern, and coloring of a specific wild animal's tail. In the preferred embodiment the emitted sound is consistent with the animal pattern displayed upon the flag.
