To all whom it may concern: l. 2

Be it known that L ANTOINE L. GInARD,

' a citizen of the United'States of America,

and a resident of thetown of West Boylston, county of Worcester, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and-useful improvement inToys,'o1" which the follow- 'ihg 1s a specification, n

This invention relatesto lmprovements 1n horn.

One of the objects of my invention is to 7 provide a combination noise maker which will be inexpensive to manufacture, and simple and efficient in operation.

A further ob'ect of my invention is to devise a form or noise maker that shall be capable of making'fnot only 'the' noise, or soundof a whistle but the sound of a horn as well. r

, A still further obj ect of my invention is to provide a noisemaker wherein there shallbe combined two whistles and a' horn both shall be arranged twojwhistles' of varying. p

itch and amplitude and in which there shall be located inthe mouthpiece a horn,

the whistles being mountedon a crosspiece.

The leading featureof my invention con sists 1n enhancing the value of anolsemaker by making it possible to obtain different sounds therefrom, and by enhancing v the sanitary value of thedevice inasmuch as the 'whistlesare not adapted to'be pl'aced directly in the mouth'of the operator.

. With the aboveand other objects'in view my invention consists in the arrangement,

combination, and details of construction dis:

Referring to' the "drawings which are merely illustrative of my invention 1 designates the tubular portion of"a horn'which may taper from 1ar 'e atit outerend to small at its inner end; "A 'crosfs-piece or T is formed integrallylupon or otherwise connected atright angles upon the end of; the tubular portion 1 of the-hormfand this. extends preferably th'e same' distance from the tubular portion' l as acenteror axis.

hollow portion of this. mouthpiece being designated '7 as illustrated in Fig. 3. It will be understood that the flap 8-v1rtually covers entrance of foreign matter into the tube 1 of v the horn.

. The-entire appearance and arrangement of the noise maker is that of a strong yet light attractive T-shaped body. lVhenpit is desired to use this noiseinaker, the user will place the mouthpiece of the same between his lips-and blowinto the same and in this manner will sound the reed of the born as is true with any horn blownin the same'manner. By,inspi ring theair through the whis- V it through the cross-piece thereon, whistles tle ends of the crosspiece of this noisemaker and out through the mouthpiece, into the operators mouth either or both -whistles may besounded. One whistle may be designed to respond against slight air inspiration,

"whistles and one horn. blown out of the mouthpiece in tain the very best results. I, There isshown in Fig. 6 a modification-of The air maybe ,a horn and whistle, .as in this case the horn ,and whistle'are formed in one piece, 11 designates the wooden mouthpiece and coversth'ehorn'flap or reed 15-located in the tube .12-of the horn, a band or'tape of red, white and blue'is preferably wound'upon thistube 40.

A stillfu'rther modification of my inven- 1 bodyp'roj'ects at right angles to form. a hip ple which projects into the pocket 16- of the rubber suction bulb 15% clearly illustrated I lar portion 17 and-thetubular pocket 16 is in the figures aforesaid. The-nipple 23*is,

preferably made of thin metal-as is the tubu formed upontherubber bulbso as to have a press fit upon the nipple. By taking-holdof the rubber bag 15 and squeezingthe same- .a1r may-be forcibly ejected out of the tubularportion 17 so as to emerge through the two oppositely arrangedwhistles 18 and 19 V and sound the horn as hereinbefore set forth.

'Both forms of my invention are practical eflicient devices and .will produce desirable noises from one'and the same instrumentq Numerous changesmay beniade n prac- .tosaid tubular piece of metal, r A noisemaker formed with a cross piece V T -shaped in configuration, the long tube-of order to ob- "of tubularmeta'l, one part of which extends at right angles with respect to the other, and a horn carried by said tubular member and a whistle carried by said right angularly projecting member.

. 2. A noisemakerformed of a "piecefof tubular sheet metal, another tubular piece of Inetal extending as a Tincommunication with said tubular, sheet metal, a pair of whlstles arranged at the opposite ends Ofl piece secured said T connection, and a mouth said noisemaker receiving air, and expelling desire to protect by 'tice without departingin principle from the T carried by said cross-piece therein, and a mouthpiece. secured upon said long tube.

1.4. A device as described consisting 0f-a tubular stem, a tubular, cross-piece connected.

thereupon and extending an equal distance from opposite sides of said stem,.a whistle located in each end of said tubular crosspiecej, and-a mouthpiecesecured upon said stemand having its tubularportionprojecting therebeyond.

carrying. j" a horn concealed the. whistles having holesarranged "concentrically and bemg also in. alinement, said valve being locjatedso as to sound: said horn only when a blastis blown into said mouthpiece.

- 7, A noisel maker' consisting of ahorn, and

whistles connected at either side of said 'horn, and'a common mouthpiece carried by saidhorn through which air may pass to operate said horn and said whistles, said horn being sounded by blowing air into said mouthpiece and-said whistles by blowing air out of said mouthpiece. p f V In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and -aflixed my seal this 18th day of February, 1920.
