Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
An animal luring device for selective recording and playback of animal audible sounds comprising, a base member including a rechargeable battery and in electrical communication with a microphone and loudspeakers, and a recorder/playback member mounted to said base is operably associated with said loudspeakers and said battery and is operative to enable selective recording and playback of audible animal sounds to direct such sounds through the loud speakers, and the microphone in selective electrical communication with the recorder/playback member to selectively record animal sounds, and frequency controller to select a predetermined frequency for filtering undesirable audible sounds during recording, and a photovoltaic cell positioned within a housing cover selectively associated with the base member to recharge the battery for extended and remote use of the device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
An animal luring device for selective recording and playback of animal audible sounds comprising, a base member including a rechargeable battery and in electrical communication with a microphone and loudspeakers, and a recorder/playback member mounted to said base is operably associated with said loudspeakers and said battery and is operative to enable selective recording and playback of audible animal sounds to direct such sounds through the loud speakers, and the microphone in selective electrical communication with the recorder/playback member to selectively record animal sounds, and frequency controller to select a predetermined frequency for filtering undesirable audible sounds during recording, and a photovoltaic cell positioned within a housing cover selectively associated with the base member to recharge the battery for extended and remote use of the device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
An animal luring device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the housing cover is selectively securable to the base member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
An animal luring device as set forth in claim 2 wherein the housing cover further includes a plurality of bifurcated legs extending downwardly from the housing cover to define a slot therebetween, and the slot selectively in registration with a raised ridge formed on opposed side surfaces of the base member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
65 words
An animal luring device as set forth in claim 3 wherein a plurality of electrical lines are operably associated with the photovoltaic cell and formed upon interior surfaces of the bifurcated legs, and a plurality of contacts positioned on opposed sides of the ridge formed on the base member to electrically associate circuitry contained within the base member in operative association with the photovoltaic cell.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
An animal luring device as set forth in claim 4 further including a logic circuit, a voltage regulator, and a single diode in operative association with the battery formed within a circuit within the base member to prevent overcharging of the battery contained within the base member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
An animal luring device as set forth in claim 5 further including a first and second coil contained within a relay within the circuit to control recharging of the battery.
