Abstract:

A sound chambered striker paddle member and a chambered striker box-type turkey call with chambered striker and optionable chambered side panels and a pivoting and locking slide, action variable tone selector with a diverse axes floating hinge is disclosed. The sound chamber of the striker paddle and side portions act as a speaker to enhance and amplify sound produced from any wildlife call employing frictionable side walls or camming surfaces. The floating hinge feature of the invention couples an internally chambered striker with a lower box-type call assembly so that multi-axis pivoting and sliding, frictionable interface can be achieved between preferred sound generating portions or points of the stiker and preferred sound generating portions or points along the frictionable width and lengthwise surfaces of box-type, open chamber side walls.
