Embodiment Construction

[0051] Referring to the drawings wherein identical reference numerals denote the same elements throughout the various views, FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary game call 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention. The particular example illustrated is of a turkey call, but the principles of the invention are equally applicable to calls for other animals that use a diaphragm held in the mouth. The illustrated call 10 comprises an insert 12 received in a body 14. The body 14 includes an outer portion 15 around its periphery. Referring to FIG. 2D, the insert comprises a flexible diaphragm 16 received in a rigid frame 18, which may be constructed of a metal alloy such as steel or aluminum. It is also possible that the diaphragm 16 may be disposed in the body 14 without the use of a frame. The diaphragm 16 is held in a known fashion under a predetermined tension and in a plane wherein inhaled and exhaled air passes across an exposed surface of the diaphragm for generating an au...

Abstract

A game call includes a thermoplastic body having a front edge with a cutout formed therein. An insert having a flexible diaphragm stretched across an open-ended frame is disposed in the cutout. The game call may be manufactured by providing a blank of thermoplastic material with a central cutout. The insert is placed on one half of the bank, and the other half of the blank is folded over to trap the insert. The halves of the blank are bonded to each other with heat and pressure or an adhesive.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001] This invention relates to a game call, particularly a game call intended to be held in a user's mouth. Many different types of game calls are used to produce sounds to attract game animals. One type of game call comprises a flexible diaphragm stretched across an open-ended frame. The call is placed against the roof of the user's mouth and then various techniques may be used to produce appropriate sounds by forcing air across the diaphragm.[0002] Because the diaphragm and the frame holding it are typically a small fraction of the size of the user's mouth, some means of retaining the call in the user's mouth is required. A commonly used method is to sandwich the edge of the frame between two layers of tape such as the kind used to secure bandages. Unfortunately, this tape does not stay molded to the shape of the user's mouth, causing discomfort. Furthermore, this tape becomes unsightly and unsanitary after use.[0003] It is therefor...
