Harmonica-Style Goose Call Varying Depth Profiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing harmonica-style duck calls, such as the Bays call, are not versatile enough to effectively imitate the calls of various goose varieties.
Innovation Solution
A harmonica-style goose call design featuring elongated housings with varying depth profiles and a flexible diaphragm allows for the creation of a blow space, enabling users to alter the pitch of the emitted tone by adjusting the blow position, mimicking goose sounds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a harmonica-style duck call design is used, then the call can imitate duck sounds, but it cannot effectively imitate goose calls of various varieties
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating varying depth profiles at specific locations within the blow space. The first and second profiles have different depths at different positions, allowing the user to produce different pitches by blowing at different locations. This localized variation in depth enables the call to imitate various goose calls without requiring multiple different call devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-depth blow space is used, then the structure is simple, but the user cannot alter the pitch of the emitted tone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces depth variation as an additional dimension within the blow space. Instead of a uniform depth, the first and second profiles create varying depths along the length of the blow space. This dimensional variation allows pitch control through positional adjustment, enabling versatile tone production while maintaining a single integrated housing structure.
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
The harmonica-style goose call provides a more versatile means to imitate goose calls, offering a narrower design and a wider flexible diaphragm for improved tonal variation compared to existing duck call designs.
Implementation Method 1
by blowing through the blow space causes the diaphragm to vibrate and emit a tone
Implementation Method 2
At least one of the first profile and the second profile is of varying depth permitting the user to alter the pitch of the tone by selectively altering the blow position
Data Source
AI summary
A harmonica-style goose call is described. A user assumes a blow position and by blowing through a blow space onto a diaphragm which vibrates and emits a tone. The blow space is made from interior profiles of varying depth on engaged housings. This permits the user to alter the pitch of the tone by selectively altering the blow position. In this way, the user can imitate the sound of a goose by altering the blowing three and the blow position.
