ABSTRACT:
A toy clapper device having a main body including an elongate and planar shaped handle with first and second faces, a lower gripping end, an intermediate engaging portion, an upper portion and a central substantially circular shaped member also exhibiting first and second faces and extending integrally from the upper portion of the handle. First and second circular shaped paddles are dimensioned substantially identically to the central circular shaped portion, each of the paddles further including elongate planar shaped portions and seating portions extending from the planar shaped portions. The seating portions are received within the intermediate engaging portions along the first and second faces of the handle and are secured in place by a three dimensional and rectangular shaped collar portion with a central rectangular cavity which is slidably engaged over the lower gripping end and secured over the intermediate engaging portions so as to thereby sandwich therebetween the seating portions of the first and second paddles. The connection between the seating portions and the planar shaped portions of the paddles is provided by flexible hinges which permit the paddles to rhythmically engage the first and second faces of the central circular shaped member in a noise producing fashion.
