Abstract
Noise-making assemblies are presented including: a self-recovering stretchable element; and at least one noise-making element mechanically coupled with and along the self-recovering stretchable element at a number of attachment points, where the at least one noise-making element forms slack portions between the number of attachment points when the self-recovering stretchable element is in a relaxed position, where the slack portions are flattened when the self-recovering stretchable element is in an extended position, and where when the self-recovering stretchable element extends from the relaxed position to the extended position, the at least one noise-making elements emits a noise.
Claims18
A noise-making assembly comprising:
- a self-recovering stretchable element;
- and
- at least one noise-making element mechanically coupled with and along the self-recovering stretchable element at a plurality of attachment points, wherein
- the at least one noise-making element forms slack portions between the plurality of attachment points when the self-recovering stretchable element is in a relaxed position, wherein
- the slack portions are flattened when the self-recovering stretchable element is in an extended position, wherein
- when the self-recovering stretchable element extends from the relaxed position to the extended position, the at least one noise-making element emits a noise during deformation of the at least one noise-making element, and wherein
- when the self-recovering stretchable element retracts from the extended position to the relaxed position, the at least one noise-making element emits a noise during deformation of the at least one noise-making element.
A noise-making toy comprising:
- a toy body;
- at least one extendable element connected with the toy body;
- and
- at least one noise-making assembly enclosed within the at least one extendable element, wherein the at least one noise-making assembly comprises,
- a self-recovering stretchable element attached along one end of the at least one extendable element and the toy body, and
- at least one noise-making element mechanically coupled with and along the self-recovering stretchable element at a plurality of attachment points, wherein
- the at least one noise-making element forms slack portions between the plurality of attachment points when the self-recovering stretchable element is in a relaxed position, wherein
- the slack portions are flattened when the self-recovering stretchable element is in an extended position, wherein
- when the self-recovering stretchable element extends from the relaxed position to the extended position, the at least one noise-making element emits a noise during deformation of the at least one noise-making element, and wherein
- when the self-recovering stretchable element retracts from the extended position to the relaxed position, the at least one noise-making element emits a noise during deformation of the at least one noise-making element.
A noise-making toy comprising:
- a toy body;
- and
- at least one noise-making assembly enclosed within the toy body, wherein the at least one noise-making assembly comprises,
- a self-recovering stretchable element, and
- at least one noise-making element mechanically coupled with the self-recovering stretchable element at a plurality of attachment points, wherein
- the at least one noise-making element is a tubular configuration that surrounds the self-recovering stretchable element, wherein
- the at least one noise-making element is at least partially compressed is in a relaxed position, wherein
- the at least one noise-making element is at least partially decompressed in an extended position, wherein
- when the self-recovering stretchable element extends from the relaxed position to the extended position, the at least one noise-making element emits a noise during deformation of the at least one noise-making element, and wherein
- when the self-recovering stretchable element retracts from the extended position to the relaxed position, the at least one noise-making element emits a noise during deformation of the at least one noise-making element.
