ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to game calls, and even more particularly relates to hand-operated game calls for producing calls with variable volume levels.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the past, designers of game calls have endeavored to provide more realistic sounding calls. Some calls require extensive skill before they can be made to produce realistic sounds, while other calls, especially lip-blown tube calls, often require considerable hand movement around the end of the tube to change pitch, tone and volume. Some calls have incorporated a bellows to eliminate the requirement of blowing through the call.
While these calls may have advantages, they also have significant drawbacks.
Often a novice caller or a caller who wishes to refrain from the required cupping of hands etc. at the end of a lip-blown tube call, will resort to a hand-operated bellows call. However, these calls usually have a more limited range of realistic sounding calls that they can produce when compared with the more versatile and difficult to operate lip-blown calls.
Consequently, there exists a need for improvement of hand-operated bellows game calls with controls therein for varying the sound output.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an adjustable game call having realistic tones at variable volume levels.
It is a feature of the present invention to utilize a twisting airflow control valve inside the call.
It is an advantage of the present invention to provide a call which is easy to use and has a volume variability characteristic.
The present invention is a volume controllable game call which is designed to satisfy the aforementioned needs, provide the previously stated objects, include the above-listed features and achieve the already articulated advantages. The present invention is carried out in an “expertise-less” manner in a sense that the high level of expertise which was often required by an operator of a game call to generate sounds at varying sound levels has been greatly reduced.
Accordingly, the present invention is a game call having an internal air valve therein for regulating permissible airflow through the call.
