Box Turkey Call with Movable Striker for Multiple Sounds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current turkey call boxes can only produce one or two sounds, requiring hunters to carry multiple devices to coax turkeys into shooting range, which is inconvenient and limits the variety of calls that can be made.
Innovation Solution
A box-type turkey call with a striking portion that can be moved between multiple striking positions, allowing it to engage different sound rails and produce various sounds, featuring pivotally connected sidewall portions, interchangeable sound rails, and a spring-loaded striking mechanism for adjustable engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate turkey call devices are carried to produce various sounds, then the variety of calls that can be made is improved, but the weight and convenience of carrying equipment deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple turkey call functions are merged into a single box-type device. The device incorporates multiple sound rails (first sound rail, second sound rail, third sound rail) that can be selectively engaged by a striking portion, allowing one device to produce multiple different turkey calls instead of requiring separate devices for each call type.
Solution Approach 2:
The box-type turkey call is designed as a universal device that can perform multiple functions. The striking portion can be positioned to engage different sound rails to produce various calls (first call, second call, third call), making a single device replaceable for multiple specialized call devices.
2Weight of moving object
If a single turkey call device is used to produce multiple sounds, then the weight and convenience of carrying equipment is improved, but the complexity of the device structure deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into distinct functional components: multiple sound rails (first sound rail, second sound rail, third sound rail) mounted on the box body, and a separate striking portion with pivot coupling. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The striking portion is made dynamic through the pivot coupling mechanism, allowing it to rotate and engage different sound rails. This dynamic capability enables multiple call functions without requiring multiple fixed striking portions, balancing versatility with structural simplicity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables a single device to produce multiple turkey calls, reducing the need for multiple calls and allowing hunters to travel lighter while providing a range of tonal characteristics and sounds.
Implementation Method 1
a spring adapted to bias the striker portion to the head of the post snugly received in the countersunk bore

AI summary
A box-type game call having a striking portion that can be moved between a plurality of striking positions is provided. The game call may incorporate a plurality of sound rails, whereby the striking portion may be pivotally connected relative to the plurality of sound rails, along at least two axes of rotation, so as to be movable to operatively engage each sound rail separately from a variety of striking positions.
