Adjustable Game Call Frame for Selectable Pitch and Tone
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing game calls lack the ability to adjust pitch, tone, and quality of sounds to effectively attract turkeys and other wild game.
Innovation Solution
A sound selectable game call with adjustable panel tension mechanisms and interchangeable frame spacers and paddles that allow for varying engagement tensions and materials to produce a range of sound characteristics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If game calls use fixed sound characteristics, then the device structure is simple, but the ability to attract wild game is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements adjustable panel tension mechanisms that allow the side frame panels to be dynamically repositioned between engaged and disengaged states relative to the center frame spacer. This dynamic adjustment enables users to modify engagement tension to produce different sound characteristics (pitch, tone, quality) by changing the physical configuration of the call components, thereby resolving the contradiction between sound variability and device simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes physical parameters of the game call system by allowing interchange of frame spacers and paddles made from different materials and dimensions. These parameter changes directly affect sound characteristics produced during operation, enabling adaptation to different hunting conditions while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure through modular component design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If game calls use fixed materials, then manufacturing is simple, but sound quality customization is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the game call into separable components including side frame panels, center frame spacers, and paddles that can be independently manufactured from different materials and then assembled or interchanged. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for specific material properties affecting sound characteristics, while maintaining ease of manufacture through standardized connection interfaces and modular design.
3Adaptability or versatility
If panel engagement tension is fixed, then the device structure is stable, but pitch and tone adjustment is impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements adjustable panel tension mechanisms that allow the side frame panels to be dynamically repositioned between engaged and disengaged states relative to the center frame spacer. This dynamic adjustment enables users to modify engagement tension to produce different sound characteristics (pitch, tone, quality) by changing the physical configuration of the call components, thereby resolving the contradiction between sound variability and device simplicity.

Implementation Method 1
The call paddle may be configured for contact with and scraping movement across the first side frame panel and/or the second side frame panel for production of the game call sounds
Implementation Method 2
The call paddle may be configured for contact with and scraping movement across the first side frame panel and/or the second side frame panel for production of the game call sounds

AI summary
Sound selectable game calls may include a call frame. The call frame may include side frame panels. At least one frame spacer may be disposed between the side frame panels. At least one of the side frame panels may engage the frame spacer or spacers. At least one panel tension adjustment mechanism may engage the side frame panel or panels. The panel tension adjustment mechanism may be configured to adjust engagement tension of the corresponding side frame panel against the frame spacer or spacers. A call paddle may be pivotally supported by the call frame. The call paddle may be configured for contact with and scraping movement across the side frame panel or panels for production of the game call sounds.
