Sound generator for a kite

A sound generator, comprising:

• a mounting clip for attachment to a kite frame, said mounting clip including a first tubular body having a first slot running the length thereof so as to provide said first tubular body with a first pair of opposed jaws dimensioned to tightly grip said kite frame;
• a support arm secured to, and projecting from, said mounting clip, said support arm having a distal end remote from said mounting clip;
• a pivot mechanism secured to said distal end of said support arm, said pivot mechanism including a pair of toothed wheels joined by an axle, a first one of said toothed wheels being integrally formed with said support arm and having a first abutment surface with a plurality of first ridges radiating outwardly from the center thereof, and a second one of said toothed wheels having a second abutment surface, for frictional engagement with said first abutment surface, with a plurality of second ridges radiating outwardly from the center thereof;
• a siren housing secured to the second one of said toothed wheels of said pivot mechanism for pivoting movement relative to said mounting clip, said siren housing including a second tubular body having a second slot running the length thereof so as to provide said second tubular body with a second pair of opposed jaws;
• and,
• a wind-powered siren positioned between said second pair of opposed jaws, said siren including a tubular body with a freewheeling turbine positioned therein.

A sound-generating kite, comprising:

• a substantially rigid kite frame;
• a flexible sheet secured to said kite frame for lifting said kite from the ground in the presence of wind;
• at least one tether attached to said frame for preventing said kite from blowing away in the presence of wind;
• a sound generator secured to said kite, said sound generator including:
• a mounting clip attached to said kite frame;
• a support arm secured to, and projecting from, said mounting clip, said support arm having a distal end remote from said mounting clip;
• a pivot mechanism secured to said distal end of said support arm;
• a siren housing secured to said pivot mechanism for pivoting movement relative to said mounting clip;
• and,
• a wind-powered siren positioned within said siren housing.
