Abstract: A noise generating clapper apparatus includes a main body sheet having a plurality of foldable flaps, the plurality of flaps having a front flap attached to a rear flap along a first fold line and a joint flap attached to the rear flap along a second fold line, and a clapper member pivotably mounted to the joint flap. The joint flap folds along the second fold line and the front flap folds along the first fold line to enclose the clapper member between the front and rear flaps in a secured position. The main body sheet is maneuvered in a shaking motion to permit the clapper member to pivot between the front and rear flaps, thereby enabling the clapper member to generate noise upon contact with the first fold line of the main body sheet.

Abstract: A bell device with dual tones for transport vehicles includes a main body, a base, and a trigger. The main body includes two tapering chambers therein and a pinhole located between the chambers. A constant whistling sound is generated for warning approaching cars and pedestrians when wind introduced into one of the two chambers passes through the pinhole. The base is adapted to be fixed on a handlebar and supports the main body, so that the main body is rotatable relative to the base. The trigger includes a flexible operating member which has at least a knocking portion used to beat the main body and induce a warning sound when the operating member is manipulated.

Abstract: A toy which emits sounds as it is moved, comprising: a toy body; and a plurality of mechanically-operated sound tubes carried within the toy body, each sound tube including a sliding whistle which moves along the tube by the force of gravity, and each sound tube lying along a longitudinal axis, in which the axes are transverse to one another, so that the sound tubes emit sound when the toy is moved along various axes.

Abstract: An apparatus 10 and method for calling game animals when a user is hunting with a bow or a gun. The apparatus operates hands-free and includes a flexible conduit 24 that extends between a mouthpiece 12 and a game-attracting call assembly 30 that is operable when the user ingests air through the mouthpiece 12. The call assembly 30 includes an air-actuated sound-producing member 34 which is attached to the user's clothing. The apparatus 10 permits the user to initiate a game-attracting call without discernable movement of his or her upper body.

Abstract: A portable game call ideally adapted for turkey hunting is user transformable between a variety of configurations for producing selected, game-attractive sounds. A rigid supportive hub assembly, generally in the form of a parallelepiped at least temporarily mounts the remaining parts for transportation and storage. The hub assembly comprises an upwardly projecting dome that removably gimbel mounts a ring assembly. The removable ring assembly mounts two radially spaced apart, outwardly extending strikers that can be rubbed across a frictional striking surface on the call for making "peg and slate" sounds. An outwardly extending hollow metal suction tube located between the strikers makes "wing bone" sounds. An elongated, blade-like sounding vane removably coupled to the call is slidably received within a slot in the hub. A timing cord extending between the vane and the ring enables the vane, once removed, to be spun in the air by a hunter to produce the "Pulmonic Puff" sound of the wild turkey gobble.

Abstract: A toy ball which emits sounds as it is rolled, comprising: a ball body; and a plurality of mechanically-operated sound tubes carried within the ball body, each sound tube including a sliding whistle which moves along the tube by the force of gravity, and each sound tube lying along a longitudinal axis, in which the axes are transverse to one another, so that the sound tubes emit sound when the ball is moved along various axes.

Abstract: A steam locomotive-whistle model and toy providing realism in appearance in sound and operation of a real locomotive, by responding to blowing effort by the mouth or of a balloon which operates parts to run the locomotive and to emit sounds exactly simulating those of a real locomotive. It includes a smokestack and detachable cover, simulating smoke, to prevent air from escaping through its inlet hole. Also it includes a rear air intake pipe which is blown by the mouth to force air into an air chamber, thence into air ports and a cylinder to cause a piston to move away from the air inlet end of the cylinder.

Abstract: An amusement device for a bicycle wheel is disclosed. According to the present invention, the amusement device comprises a whistle, and a means for attaching the whistle to the wheel such that when the wheel rotates, wind passes through the whistle and produces a sound audible to a human ear. The present whistle 10 is a reversible whistle because it will produce a noise when air flows into the whistle from two different directions. The present invention is a double whistle because it funnels air from one direction into two separate whistle elements. The whistle 10 is also a double reversible whistle 10 because it can funnel air into two different whistle elements with air flowing in two different directions.

Abstract: A toy saxophone is disclosed having a mouthpiece, a sound-emitting mechanism, a bubble-blowing mechanism, and air tubes connecting the mouthpiece to the sound-emitting and bubble-blowing mechanisms. The toy saxophone further has an actuating mechanism comprising a manually depressible button coupled to the sound-emitting and bubble-blowing mechanisms whereby simultaneously blowing into the mouthpiece and depressing the button causes sound to be emitted from the sound-emitting mechanism and bubbles to be blown from the bubble-blowing mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dual diaphragm-type game caller of a size and shape suitable for inserting into a user's mouth for support against the roof of the mouth so that free edges of two diaphragms retained together as a unit in a spaced-apart relationship can concurrently vibrate when impinged by pulmonary air exhausted by the user. The invention employs two diaphragms having a selected pattern of slits which allow the caller to produce a flutter or raspy sound effect which is sometimes desired by the wild turkey hunter.

Abstract: A hand-operated game call having a sound chamber, a handle including a horn at one end of the chamber, a bellows at the other end of the chamber and openings in both chamber ends; the chamber including a diaphragm normally closing each chamber, each diaphragm having a normally taut edge engaging an opening chord edge, the chord edge including a lip on the outside of the wall for preventing the diaphragm from overlapping the wall during vibration.

Abstract: A turkey call capable of realistically imitating both the gobbling and clucking sounds made by wild turkeys. A hollow body has an internal sound chamber covered at one end by a vibratile diaphragm. An air bulb is mounted on the opposite end of the body and can be squeezed to vary the gobbling sound produced by the diaphragm. A hammer and anvil mechanism in the sound chamber reproduces the clucking sounds made by wild turkeys and can be activated independently of the diaphragm.
