ABSTRACT:
A single-tone inverted toroidal whistle for producing a uni-directional output of about 135 decibels at 100 feet on axis at a frequency of about 420 hertz. A hollow cylinder having a closed base end is combined with a toroidal body to provide an annular sound chamber the working length of which determines the wavelength of sound generated by passage of air or steam under pressure through an annular slit formed in the interior of the cylinder and impinging against a spaced tapered lip on the inner cylindrical wall of the toroidal body.
