Patent CA-2665632-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CASTNER MICHAEL
IPC: A01M31/00
Filed: 2009-05-07
Abstract: A rattling device to replicate the sound of antlers of bucks engaged in combat. The device comprises a rounded base body assembly, a striker assembly, a flexible spring that holds the striker assembly and base body together, a leg strap, and a belt hanger. The rounded base body and the striker assembly are made of molded plastic. The rounded base body assembly contains a series of variably sized hollow nodes. The striker assembly comprises a series of similarly sized hollow nodes. The device is manufactured such that the nodes of the base plate face the nodes of the striker assembly. In the rest position, the nodes are held firmly against each other by the force of the flexible spring.  When the hunter wants to replicate the sound of bucks battling each other, the striker assembly is pulled away from the rounded base body. The flexible elastic spring provides a force that opposes the action of the hunter. When the hunter releases the striker assembly, the spring forces it back into base plate where the nodes of the striker assembly impinge on the nodes of the rounded base body making the sound of the initial thrust of two battling bucks. As the hunter pulls the striker assembly slightly away from the rounded base body and slightly rotates the striker assembly, a sound is replicated that simulates the sound of the antlers of battling bucks continuing to engage each other at close quarters.  The base plate and striker assembly are injection molded. The nodes of the base plate and striker assembly are hollow. The nodes face each other. The device contains a leg strap and belt hanger to affix it to the hunter's body or clothing.
