An improved sound producing drinking system of the type that comprises an elongate sound producing member having a sound track thereon and a semi-rigid sheet material having an aperture formed therein defining points extending inwardly from the edges of the aperture, the improvement wherein:
- the sound producing member defines a ridge extending longitudinally on the surface thereof and wherein the sound track comprises ribs lateral to and formed in said ridge, such that sound is produced by direct contact between the sound track and a region of the aperture during relative longitudinal movement between the sound producing member and the semi-rigid sheet material, and the ridge further comprises at least one guide ridge thereon extending longitudinally adjacently and parallel to the sound track.
An improved sound producing drinking straw of the type that comprises a sound track thereon, the improvement wherein:
- the drinking straw is so constructed and configured as to define a ridge extending longitudinally on the surface thereof and wherein the sound track comprises ribs lateral to and formed in said ridge, and said ridge further comprises at least one guide ridge thereon extending longitudinally adjacently and parallel to the sound track on the respective sides thereof.
An improved sound producing drinking straw of the type that comprises a sound track thereon, the improvement wherein:
- the drinking straw is so constructed and configured as to define a ridge extending longitudinally on the surface thereof and wherein the sound track comprises ribs lateral to and formed in said ridge, and said ridge further comprises a pair of guide tracks thereon extending longitudinally adjacently and parallel to the sound track on the respective sides thereof.
A sound producing toy comprising an elongate sound producing member having a sound track thereon and a semi-rigid sheet material having an aperture formed therein defining points extending inwardly from the edges of the apertures, the sound producing member being so constructed and configured as to define a ridge extending longitudinally on the surface thereof and wherein the sound track comprises ribs lateral to and formed in said ridge, wherein the ridge guides the sound track to contact with only a region of the aperture for producing sound.
