Sound Generator for Spoked Wheel Vehicles

摘要

The present invention relates to sound generation for amusement purposes, and more particularly to sound generation devices for use with vehicles having wheels with spokes such as bicycles and tricycles. Embodiments of the invention include a base having a slot extending from one end part way down one side for receiving a sound generating card, the upper end of said slot being open to receive the card, and the lower end being closed to prevent the card from sliding out, the slot having an enlarged internal longitudinal area corresponding to a similar area on the card to prevent the card from being pulled through the slot as it makes sound through contact with the spokes of a wheel.

主权项

1. A sound generator for a wheel with spokes comprising:
a. an elongated one-piece base having a concavity on a first side thereof for engaging with a convex portion of a member adjacent to a wheel of a vehicle, the base having a second side with a slot extending part way along said second side thereof, said slot being open at one end of said base and closed at an opposite end thereof, said slot having an enlarged longitudinal internal area therein; b. at least one opening extending through said base from a proximal side to a distal side thereof for receiving at least one strap to attach said base to said member adjacent to said wheel of said vehicle; and c. a removable card having a body and at least one edge, said edge having an enlarged area thereon corresponding to the enlarged longitudinal internal area of said slot for insertion into said slot such that said body extends out from said slot.
