Abstract

An animal call having a first generator connected to a second sound generator. The second sound generator may be removably engaged to the first sound generator. The first sound generator and/or the second sound generator may be manually actuated. The first sound generator and/or the second sound generator may have a reed. Actuation causes the reed to vibrate thus producing a noise. The first sound generator may be actuated by turning the animal call over and back. The second sound generator may be actuated by forcing air through the second sound generator.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An animal call comprising: 
 a first sound generator for producing a first animal sound; and,    a second sound generator connected to the first sound generator.    
   
   
       2 . The animal call of  claim 1  where the second sound generator is removably engaged to the first sound generator.  
   
   
       3 . The animal call of  claim 1  where the first sound generator is manually actuated.  
   
   
       4 . The animal call of  claim 3  where the first sound generator has a reed such that manually actuating the first sound generator causes the reed to vibrate and produce a noise.  
   
   
       5 . The animal call of  claim 3  where the first sound generator is actuated by turning the animal call over and back.  
   
   
       6 . The animal call of  claim 1  where the second sound generator is manually actuated.  
   
   
       7 . The animal call of  claim 6  where the second sound generator has a reed such that manually actuating the second sound generator causes the reed to vibrate and produce a noise.  
   
   
       8 . The animal call of  claim 6  where the second sound generator is actuated by sucking on the second sound generator.  
   
   
       9 . The animal call of claims  6  where the second sound generator is actuated by blowing on the second sound generator.  
   
   
       10 . The animal call of  claim 3  where the first sound generator comprises; 
 a top and bottom connected to a body; and,    a sound insert positioned inside the body, the sound insert having a sound chamber and an air baffle moveably positioned in the sound chamber such that turning the animal call over and back causes the air baffle to move in the sound chamber to produce a noise.    
   
   
       11 . The animal call of  claim 10  where the bottom of the body of the first sound generator has at least one opening such that the noise produced by the first sound generator may be altered by manipulating air traveling out of the at least one opening.  
   
   
       12 . The animal call of  claim 10  where the air baffle has an air channel, a sound cavity with a reed positioned therein, and an air passage connecting the air channel to the sound cavity such that actuating the first sound generator causes air to travel through the air channel, into the air passage, out the sound cavity and over the reed thus vibrating the reed and producing a noise.  
   
   
       13 . An animal call comprising: 
 a first sound generator having a reed positioned therein; and,    a second sound generator removably engaged to the first sound generator;    where the first sound generator is actuated by turning the animal call over and back thereby causing the reed to vibrate and produce a first sound and second sound generator is manually actuated thereby producing a second sound.    
   
   
       14 . The animal call of  claim 13  where the second sound generator has a reed positioned therein such that manual actuation of the second sound generator causes the reed to vibrate and produce the second sound.  
   
   
       15 . The animal call of  claim 13  where the first sound generator comprises; 
 a top and bottom connected to a body; and,    a sound insert positioned inside the body, the sound insert having a sound chamber and an air baffle moveably positioned in the sound chamber such that turning the call over and back causes the air baffle to move in the sound chamber,    where the bottom of the body of the first sound generator has at least one opening such that the noise produced by the first sound generator may be altered by manipulating air traveling out of the at least one opening.    
   
   
       16 . The animal call of  claim 15  where the air baffle has an air channel, a sound cavity with a reed positioned therein, and, an air passage connecting the air channel to the sound cavity such that actuating the first sound generator causes air to travel through the air channel, into the air passage, out the sound cavity and over the reed thus vibrating the reed and producing a noise.  
   
   
       17 . An animal call comprising; 
 a mouthpiece;    a sound plate connected to the mouthpiece;    and a reed functionally engaged to the mouthpiece such that causing air to flow through the mouthpiece causes the reed to vibrate against the sound plate and produce a noise.    
   
   
       18 . The animal call of  claim 17  where the animal call is connected to a second animal call.  
   
   
       19 . The animal call of  claim 18  where the animal call is removably connected to a second animal call.  
   
   
       20 . A method of producing animal noises comprising the steps of: 
 providing an animal call having a first sound generator and a second sound generator, where the second sound generator is connected to the first sound generator;    turning the animal call over and back to cause the first sound generator to produce a first animal noise; and,    manually actuating the second sound generator to produce a second animal noise.    
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 20  where the first sound generator has a reed such that turning the animal call over and back causes the reed to vibrate and produce the first animal noise.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 20  where the second sound generator has a reed such that manually actuating the second sound generator causes the reed to vibrate and produce the second animal noise.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 20  where the second sound generator is removably engaged to the first sound generator.
