Adjustable tone game call

摘要

A tubular, adjustable, reed-type game call has axially aligned, adjustable sections. A tubular horn is threadably interconnected with a tubular handle comprising a mouthpiece and an intermediate coupling with an internal sounding chamber. The horn is threadably mated to internal coupling threads, and relative twisting of the horn relative to the mouthpiece causes axial lengthening or shortening of the game call, as the horn is displaced relative to the coupling. A cylindrical anchor supports an elongated reed and a parallel, elongated sounding board. A contactor pressures the reed at a point that is varied when the parts are twisted together or apart, to shorten or lengthen the effective reed length, producing different user selectable sounds. A lock washer is positioned proximate the contactor for securing it.

主权项

1. An adjustable mouth operated game call, comprising:
a generally tubular barrel having an internal passageway; a generally tubular handle mounted to the barrel, the barrel and handle being rotatable relative to each other by a user; a mouthpiece end to receive blown air from a user; a flat reed having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the reed being positioned in the internal passageway; a sounding board positioned in the internal passageway and extending parallel along and positioned adjacent to a first surface of the reed; a contactor arranged to contact the second surface of the reed at a longitudinal contact point, the contact point being movable along the second surface of the reed at various locations on the second surface; wherein relative axial twisting between the barrel and the handle varies the longitudinal contact point to change the effective reed length thereby varying output sounds produced by the call.
