Abstract
A game call having a bellows coupled to a reed for producing sound, together with a reed controller which is operable by contact with the bellows, thereby changing the pitch of the sound produced.
Claims6
A method of calling game comprising:
- generating airflow by a compression force applied on a resilient first member in a first direction;
- generating sound, using a vibrating reed, in response to said airflow;
- and,
- depressing a plunger having a top contact end, by contact between said top contact end and said resilient first member, so that a reed contacting member moves with respect to said reed, such that an increase in a depression distance of said top contact end results in an increase in a length of said reed which is free for sound generating vibration;
- and
- changing a sound characteristic of said airflow by twisting a rigid second member, so as to advance, in a direction opposite said first direction, said rigid member to an advanced position, such that when said rigid second member is advanced, said top contact end is restricted from occupying a location which would be otherwise capable of being occupied, by said top contact end, had said rigid second member remained in a non-advanced position.
3 more elements
A game call comprising:
- means for generating airflow by a compression force in a first direction;
- means for generating sound in response to said airflow;
- means for changing a pitch of said sound in response to said compression force in said first direction;
- and,
- means for controlling a range of pitch variation of said sound.
2 more elements
A game cell comprising:
- means for generating airflow by a compression force in a first direction;
- means for generating sound in response to said airflow;
- and
- means, having multiple reed contacting detents, for changing a pitch of said sound in response to said compression force in said first direction.
