Abstract:
1. A zipper pull mechanism with an integrated whistle comprising: a whistle body defining a front end, a back end, and an upper surface, the whistle body further including a first aperture and a second aperture; an outer frame positioned over the whistle body, the outer frame further including an opening such that when the outer frame is positioned over the whistle body, the opening in the outer frame is aligned with the second aperture of the whistle body so that when air is passed through the first aperture in the whistle body, the air is allowed to continue to pass through the second aperture of the whistle body and the opening in the outer frame to thereby create a loud, piercing noise, wherein the first aperture in the whistle body extends through the front end of the whistle body, and the second aperture in the whistle body extends through the upper surface of the whistle body; and an attachment device having a first free end and a second free end such that the free ends of the attachment device are captured between the whistle body and the outer frame in a manner that allows the attachment device to include a looped portion outside the whistle body and the outer frame that is adapted for attachment to a zipper member.
