Abstract
A game call device that makes generation of a wide variety of game sounds easier. In an embodiment, the game call device is in the form of a bugle or horn having a narrow mouthpiece opening and a plurality of resonating chambers, wherein the narrow mouthpiece opening reduces the air volume required to make authentic game calls and the resonating chambers are tuned to provide accentuate low-pitched, medium-pitched, and high-pitched sounds, depending on the game being hunted. Further, the game call device can be configured for hands-free use by strapping a portion of the device under the arm or on the back, leaving both hands free to manipulate hunting equipment and re-directing the game call away from the hunter which increases safety while hunting large game.
Claims18
A game call device comprising:
- a mouthpiece having a mouthpiece opening of one inch or less in diameter;
- and
- an acoustic horn attached to the mouthpiece comprising:
- a first acoustic chamber having a first chamber body diameter larger than the opening of the mouthpiece, the first acoustic chamber having a first chamber throat diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the mouthpiece opening and a first chamber mouth diameter equal to or larger than the first chamber throat diameter;
- a second acoustic chamber having a second chamber body diameter larger than the opening of the mouthpiece, the second acoustic chamber having a second chamber throat diameter equal to the first chamber mouth diameter and a second chamber mouth diameter equal to or larger than the second chamber throat diameter;
- and
- a neck between the first acoustic chamber and the second acoustic chamber, the neck having a neck diameter smaller than both the first chamber body diameter and the second chamber body diameter, the neck comprising an indentation in the exterior perimeter of the acoustic horn which narrows a portion of the acoustic horn between the first chamber and the second acoustic chamber, wherein the neck diameter defines the first chamber mouth diameter and the second chamber throat diameter.
A game call device comprising:
- a mouthpiece having a mouthpiece opening;
- a blow tube extension attached to the mouthpiece comprising a resonating chamber tuned to produce a frequency in the range of 1300 Hz to 1500 Hz;
- and
- an acoustic horn attached to the blow tube extension and configured to amplify sounds introduced into the mouthpiece as passed through the resonating chamber, or resonated by the resonating chamber, or both.
A game call device comprising:
- a mouthpiece having a mouthpiece opening of one inch or less in diameter;
- a blow tube extension attached to the mouthpiece of sufficient length to allow use of the game call device hands free while an acoustic horn of the device is attached to a portion of a user's body;
- and
- an acoustic horn configured to amplify sounds introduced into the mouthpiece, the acoustic horn comprising:
- an acoustic chamber configured to amplify sounds introduced into the mouthpiece;
- and
- one or more eyelets configured for insertion of a strap for attachment of the acoustic horn to the portion of the user's body.
