ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to outdoor equipment and more particularly to a noise making device used by hunters, animal watchers and other outdoor people who desire to watch animals or birds without startling them by coughing, sneezing or other exhaling noises.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The noise covering system has a face mask made of a thermoplastic neoprene, silicone rubber or other similar flexible material to fit over the face of a person.
An opening is provided towards the front of the face mask and a noise maker, for example a crow call, is supported over the opening so that when the wearer of the mask coughs, sneezes or exhales forcefully, the resulting wave of air is directed into the face mask. This wave of air travels through the opening and activates the noise maker and makes the sound of a crow for example, or other woodland noise that wild animals are familiar with and would not be startled by.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a noise maker device activated by an air current to imitate the voice of a wild creature. It is another object of this invention to provide a method of directing the exhalation of a person while sneezing, coughing or otherwise forcibly breathing into a noise maker, which imitates the voice of a wild creature.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists of the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, size, proportions and minor details of construction without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
