Abstract: An apparatus for calling wild game. The apparatus may be used for calling wild turkeys. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a barrel that receives an air flow and a bell which is the part where sound is emitted. The apparatus also includes a sound chamber made-up of two parts that are fixed together to create one sound chamber, where the sound chamber is inserted into the bell. The call also includes latex reeds, wherein the latex reeds cover the openings in the sound chamber.

Abstract: A novelty noisemaker assembly and its associated method of assembly. The noisemaker assembly has a bellows for manually producing a flow of air. Air from the bellows passes through a sound generator that produces sound energy as the air passes. The sound energy from the sound generator passes into a pitch control chamber. A plurality of slots are formed in the sound generator. A secondary object is coupled to the end of the pitch control chamber. The secondary object obstructs the pitch control chamber. Consequently, the slots in the side of the pitch control chamber provide the only exit port for the flow of air created by the bellows and the sound energy created by the sound generator.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a support member, a moveable member supported by the support member, a user support mechanically associated with the moveable member, and a sound producing mechanism that produces sound as a result of movement of the moveable member between a first position and a second position caused by the user's application of force to the urge the moveable member between the first position and second position. The applications include a play apparatus, wherein the user interacts with the moveable member with the result that the moveable member changes position and a selected sound is thereby produced.

Abstract: A sound producing device comprises an outer tube having an open end and a closed end, a plunger which fits inside the open end of the outer tube, and an amount of flexile material arranged between an outer surface of the plunger and an inner surface of the outer tube when the plunger is inserted in the outer tube. Movement of the plunger within the outer tube creates a pressure or vacuum, forcing air past the flexile material and thereby creating an amusing sound. The movement may also create an entertaining visual effect if the outer tube is made of a transparent material. The device may be configured to include a guided plunger having a longitudinal guide shaft therethrough which is adapted to receive a centering guide pin associated with the outer tube. Other embodiments may incorporate multiple tubes to produce distinctly different amusing sounds, or a sound enhancer tube to produce an amusing sound with richer tone.

Abstract: A game call blowing device for blowing air through a forced air game call remote from a user. The game call blowing device includes a support frame with elongate upper and lower arms. The upper arm of the support frame has a bore therethrough. A tube with open first and second ends is extended through the bore of the upper arm of the support frame. The first end of the tube is inserted into a hole in the top face of a canister. The first end of the tube has an annular disk outwardly radiating therefrom in the canister. One end of an elongate flexible cord is coupled to the top face of the canister. The second end of the tube is designed for attaching a blowing end of a forced air game call to fluidly connect the tube to the forced air game call.

Abstract: An improved sound generator includes a vibrating plate and a casing. The vibrating plate may become concave upon pressure and may return to its convex shape automatically to generate vibration and thus sound. An elastic plate is attached to the convex surface of the vibrating plate. The elastic plate is made of a material which may quickly return to its normal state after being compressed. The elastic plates prevents direct contact between an object or finger exerting a force and the vibrating plate, which may reduce the amplitude and thus the sound generated. The elastic plate absorbs the external force and release instantly its potential energy to counter the force exerted thereon so that the deformation of the vibrating plate may speed up to enhance the amplitude and sound volume. The sound generator may be used in toys or to substitute conventional castanets.

Abstract: In the present invention, a Collector's Model Disintegrator Pistol (CMDP) is formed from a pair of fight side and left side metal castings according to the investment or "lost wax" casting process. Preferably the left and right hand pistol sections are formed of suitable ornamental bronze, with a wide variety of possible bronze compositions being usable, depending upon cost and desirability of a particular finish. The bronze left and right sections are held together with counter sunk-screws instead of the crimped projections according to the construction made of U.S. Pat. No. 2,077,763. Additionally the U-shaped guide assembly of the '763 patent is eliminated and a trigger guide assembly is contoured into the cast left and right sections of the pistol to make construction simpler and less expensive.

Abstract: A sound-producing toy having a hollow body formed of resilient material, whereby when the body is depressed and deformed by a player, this action produces a honking sound. The body envelops an air-filled cavity at one end of which is an air-intake valve whose actuating element is outside the body so that when the element is actuated by the player, air is admitted into the cavity. Also disposed in the cavity is a sound producer having an air outlet normally closed by a membrane which is partially secured to the outlet so that when the body is depressed by the player, the resultant increase in internal air pressure above ambient is exerted against the membrane and causes deflection thereof to permit air to escape from the outlet. The escaping air causes the membrane to vibrate to produce a honking sound. The air expelled through the outlet creates a partial vacuum in the internal cavity which acts to maintain the body in its deformed state.
