Abstract
A system and method for generating game sounds in a directionally adjustable manner which includes a friction pan call having a plurality of holes on generally opposing sides of a sound chamber wall, and a method whereby holes are successively closed in an incremental rotating manner around the call so as to help to create a sound emulating a moving sound source.
Claims20
An improved friction pan game call of the type comprising:
- a smooth top planar playing surface, which is configured to generate sounds which emulate sounds of animals when a striker is placed and maintained in contact with said top planar playing surface and is moved across said smooth top planar playing surface;
- a sound chamber side wall coupled to said smooth top planar playing surface and substantially perpendicular thereto, said sound chamber side wall having a first sound emitting hole therein at a first location;
- said sound chamber side wall having a second sound emitting hole therein at a second location;
- and,
- wherein said first location and said second location are on opposing sides of said friction pan call.

A game call comprising:
- a top smooth circular planar sound generating surface, which is configured to generate sounds which emulate sounds made by an animal, when a striker is dragged across said top smooth circular planar sound generating surface;
- a side wall, having a substantially cylindrical shape, coupled to said top smooth circular planar sound generating surface;
- a plurality of sound emitting holes in said side wall, for sound to escape therethrough;
- and,
- at least two of said plurality of sound emitting holes defining a pair of holes on opposite sides of said side wall.
2 more elements
An apparatus for calling game comprising:
- means for generating sounds which emulate a sound made by an animal when contacted by a stylus;
- means for maintaining resonance of sound generated by said stylus;
- and
- a pair of directionally opposing means for emitting sound from said means for maintaining resonance of sound, such that a propagation direction of sound emitted can be reversed without changing a positional orientation of said means for generating and said means for maintaining.
