A game call method and device for locating a wild turkey. A wooden knocker ball is caused to repeatedly strike the opposite sides of an elongated wooden open sided box. The wooden knocker ball is mounted on the box by a coil spring. The knocker ball is caused to strike the opposite sides in short fast bursts to make long distance travelling pecking sounds like the sounds of a woodpecker. |

A turkey call comprises a brass striker plate (36) and a charred-wood striker (10). The striker plate has a convex striker surface (46) and the striker (10) includes an elongated wooden shaft (14) being charred at opposite, curved, cone-shaped, end tips (20 and 22). The striker further includes a funnel-shaped speaker (18) to which the elongated wooden shaft is removably attached. Thus, the wooden shaft of the striker can be reversed within the speaker for replacing an active end tip (20) to be rubbed against the striker plate. The funnel-shaped speaker is constructed of a soft plastic so that it can be folded and carried in a hunter's pocket. A striker plate assembly includes a wrist strap (50) for mounting the striker plate on a hunter's wrist. The speaker includes a hole for tethering the speaker to a hunter. |

The horn and sounder includes an upper body, a lower body, and a mouth piece. The upper and lower bodies are provided at their rear outer periphery with annular ribs to engage with grooves formed inside the mouth piece, so that the mouth piece can bind the upper and the lower bodies together. The upper and the lower bodies are provided on their inner plane near a rear central portion with a protuberance, making the two bodies slightly separated from each other at their front potions. The present invention can be used to produce loud sound simply by patting it. |

An improved manually operated signaling device to produce audible sound underwater. An air tight housing comprising a tubular member with end-caps permanently sealing each of its two ends and having contained within a metal echo-chamber fixed at each end of the housing plus a solid metal piston member. The inside diameter at each end of the housing is step-relieved so as to accept and hold fast the outside diameter and depth of the echo-chambers. The echo-chamber is a cylinder having one end open and one end closed with its closed end inserted into the ends of the housing. The outside diameter of the piston is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the housing. The piston also has a length greater than its own diameter which allows the piston free movement along the longitudinal axis of the housing. A colored thin walled jacket may optionally cover a part or all of the housing exterior. A ring may be connected to the exterior of one of the housing end-caps for attaching a lanyard. The housing, end-caps and jacket are preferably made of polyvinyl chloride commonly referred to as PVC. The housing end-cap ring and piston are preferably made of stainless steel. The echo-chamber is preferably made of a malleable metal. A method of use is to aim the longitudinal axis of the housing toward another diver and shake the device with a reciprocal movement causing the piston to move along the longitudinal axis of the housing thus creating audible sound as the metal piston forcibly impacts the echo-chambers. |

A noise making device for creating selective clapping sounds comprised of a pair of section halves of molded plastic construction, each section including a handle portion and an elongated flat blade portion extending therefrom together with locking elements for joining the section halves together along a planar mating surface, which locking elements are provided internally to define a smooth handle portion. |

A percussion noisemaker capable of two distinctive noise effects comprises a pair of thin, flat, elongated wooden clapper arms having handle ends mounted together so that the two arms form a narrow V with flat surfaces of the arms facing each other; a fulcrum member is interposed between the arms near their handle ends. A pair of wood clapper knobs are mounted opposite each other on the inside of the V at the ends of the clapper arms remote from their handle ends, and two funnel shaped molded plastic sounding members are mounted on the outside of the V in alignment with the clapper knobs. |

T. Don Hill |
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. |

A hand-held percussion instrument. A hollow, elongate cylindrical member has a plurality of musically-pleasing sound producing beads disposed therein, in free-flowing disposition so that oscillation or other movement of the member causes said beads to impinge upon the internal walls of the instrument, thereby producing said sound.A pair of symmetrically positioned convex walls are juxtaposed mid-length of the instrument, interiorly thereof, and therefore define a bi-convex-shaped volume therebetween. A plurality of circumferentially spaced ports open the volume defined by the walls to atmosphere so that sounds generated by the impinging of said beads against said convex walls flows to the listener through said ports.The instrument preferably has opposed frusto-conical ends and a support stand adapted to releasably engage either of said ends is provided. |

A musical instrument for producing slapping sounds occurring at an audibly distinct asynchronous rate. A rigid slat member has a plurality of flexible slat members disposed adjacent thereto on at least one side and connected at one end to form a gripping handle. The flexible slats are increasingly weighted away from the rigid slat member such that when the rigid slat is rapidly accelerated through a swinging motion by gripping the handle the outermost slats will be flexed a greater distance than the inner slats. Consequently, the time for unflexing when the swinging has stopped is greater for the outer flexible slats whereby they strike in a slapping motion at a sufficiently delayed time to be audibly distinguishable. |
