Abstract

Abstract A toy double club with whistle including two elongate tubular bodies connected with a chain, each tubular body having a whistle in its inner cavity to move back and forth in a limited distance, the distance being by two opposing projections on the inner surface of the tubular body. A coil spring is placed between the whistle and an outer end of each of the tubular bodies so that the whistle gives out whistling sounds when moved back and forth by the swinging movement of the tubular bodies.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 197 words
A toy nunchuck with whistles comprising: two elongated tubular bodies of the same diameter and length with a chain connecting said two tubular bodies, wherein each said tubular body having first and second ends, said body has a whistle contained in an inner cavity, said cavity being defined at a said first end by a stopper with a central hole capping said first end of the tubular bodies, the cavity being defined at a second end by opposing projections on the interior of the tubular bodies, the cavity including a coil spring that urges the whistle toward said second end of the bodies, so that the whistle moves between the two projections and the stopper, the whistle moving toward the stopper by centrifugal force generated by swinging the tubular bodies, and the whistle moving toward the projections when the centrifugal force is decreased so that the urging force of the coil spring overcomes said centrifugal force, so that with the intermittent application of centrifugal force caused by a user swinging the toy nunchuck with a high velocity, the whistle slides back and forth in the cavity, creating a whistling sound due to air flowing through the whistles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 197 words
A toy nunchuck with whistles comprising: two elongated tubular bodies of the same diameter and length with a chain connecting said two tubular bodies, wherein each said tubular body having first and second ends, said body has a whistle contained in an inner cavity, said cavity being defined at a said first end by a stopper with a central hole capping said first end of the tubular bodies, the cavity being defined at a second end by opposing projections on the interior of the tubular bodies, the cavity including a coil spring that urges the whistle toward said second end of the bodies, so that the whistle moves between the two projections and the stopper, the whistle moving toward the stopper by centrifugal force generated by swinging the tubular bodies, and the whistle moving toward the projections when the centrifugal force is decreased so that the urging force of the coil spring overcomes said centrifugal force, so that with the intermittent application of centrifugal force caused by a user swinging the toy nunchuck with a high velocity, the whistle slides back and forth in the cavity, creating a whistling sound due to air flowing through the whistles.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 71 words
The toy nunchuck with whistles as claimed in claim 1; wherein: said whistles are cylindrical in shape, having a round post with a hole, a semi-round tube placed in said hole of the round post, and two thin films respectively placed at a front end and at a rear end of the semi-round tube, said two thin films fluttering to create a whistling sound when air flows through the semi-round tube.
