20110009030, Jan 13, 2011

Filed:

Sep 13, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/923283

Inventors:

Stephen R. Reese - Irvine CA, US

International Classification:

A63H 5/00

US Classification:

446397

Abstract:

A noisemaking device which emits an audible sound while displaying a team logo or the like. The inventive device includes a web or sheet of material such as terrycloth or other moisture absorbent material having a grasping end and an opposing end to which is attached at least one noisemaking article. The noisemaking article is preferably capable of making a whistling sound. The whistle or other acoustic device is especially configured to produce a relatively loud whistling sound with minimal movement of the towel. To that end, the whistle may be relatively large and may have several acoustically efficient whistle producing devices. Alternatively, two or more noisemaking articles may be employed to compensate for the interference of the web or sheet material with the airflow through a single acoustic device. In lieu of a mechanical acoustic device, a battery powered electronic device may be employed which is motion sensitive and emits a sound when movement of the device exceeds a predetermined threshold.
