Abstract
A mouth-blown sports' whistle with a resiliently compliant ring of material surrounding the end of the whistle for engagement with the operator's mouth to prevent injury to the whistle user's teeth and having a whistle body with a C-shaped member forming a finger-gripping arrangement therewith and depending therefrom, the C-shaped members being bridged by a length of tubing formed of an elastomeric substance having a memory slipped over the ends of the C-shaped member, the tubing forming a substantially improved finger gripping and cushioning arrangement with the C-shaped member.
Claims7
An improved, mouth-blown whistle, comprising:
- (a) a hollow body having an air inlet and an air outlet;
- (b) cushioning means disposed peripherially about the outside of said air inlet to prevent chipping of the user's teeth as the air inlet end of the whistle is inserted into the user's mouth to blow said whistle and even while the whistle is being blown;
- (c) a C-shaped finger gripping member secured to the underside of said body;
- and
- (d) resilient covering means over said finger gripping member and bridging the opening between the open ends of said C-shaped member, said portion of said resilient covering means bridging the space bulbously enlarged to fill the empty space between the two fingers which engage the finger gripping member thereby creating a frictional gripping action between said resilient covering means and the two fingers inserted therein to hold the whistle.
