Abstract

A noise producing toy structure includes a toy having an outer wall and a crown raised from the outer wall, the outer wall defining an inner space and the crown defining a chamber; an opening for passing ambient fluid into the chamber; and a noise producing element placing the inner space in fluid communication with chamber. The crown hinders access to the noise producing element to resist unintended removal of the noise producing element. A noise producing toy structure includes a toy having an outer wall, a noise producing element disposed in the outer wall for placing the inner space in fluid communication with an environment; and a wall upright from the outer wall at a position proximal to the noise producing element. The wall has a free end to space a user from the noise producing element to hinder access to the noise producing element.

Claims (31)

1. A noise producing toy structure comprising:

a toy comprising an outer wall and a crown raised from the outer wall, the outer wall defining an inner space and the crown defining a chamber;

an opening for passing ambient fluid into the chamber;

a noise producing element placing the inner space in fluid communication with chamber;

wherein the crown hinders access to the noise producing element to resist unintended removal of the noise producing element.

2. The noise producing toy structure of claim 1 , wherein the crown comprises an angled wall.

3. The noise producing toy structure of claim 1 , wherein the crown comprises one wall and the opening comprises an access between the outer wall and an inside of the wall of the crown.

4. The noise producing toy structure of claim 1 , wherein the crown comprises in cross-section a pair of spaced-apart walls.

5. The noise producing toy structure of claim 1 , wherein the opening is disposed at an axis collinear with a longitudinal axis of the noise producing element.

6. The noise producing toy structure of claim 1 , further comprising a bonding agent for securing the noise producing element to the toy.

7. The noise producing toy structure of claim 6 , wherein the bonding agent comprises cyanocrylate or methyl ethyl ketone.

8. The noise producing toy structure of claim 1 , wherein the noise producing element protrudes into the inner space.

9. The noise producing toy structure of claim 1 , wherein the chamber is asymmetric about an axis that is collinear with a longitudinal axis of the noise producing element.

10. A noise producing toy structure comprising:

a toy comprising an outer wall, the outer wall defining an inner space;

a noise producing element disposed in the outer wall for placing the inner space in fluid communication with an environment;

a wall upright from the outer wall at a position proximal to the noise producing element, the wall having a free end to space a user from the noise producing element to hinder access to the noise producing element.

11. The noise producing toy structure of claim 10 , further comprising a second wall upright from the outer wall at a position proximal to noise producing element, the second wall having a free end to space a user from the noise producing element to hinder access to the noise producing element.

12. The noise producing toy structure of claim 10 , wherein the noise producing element protrudes into the inner space.

13. The noise producing toy structure of claim 10 , wherein the opening is disposed at an axis collinear with a longitudinal axis of the noise producing element.

14. The noise producing toy structure of claim 10 , wherein the opening is disposed at an axis that is not collinear with a longitudinal axis of the noise producing element.

15. A noise producing toy structure comprising:

a toy having an outer wall, a crown, and an inner space;

a noise producing element disposed in the outer wall for placing the inner space in fluid communication with an environment;

wherein the crown hinders access to the noise producing element to resist unintended removal of the noise producing element.

16. The noise producing toy structure of claim 15 , further comprising an opening in the crown throttling the fluid communication.

17. The noise producing toy structure of claim 15 , wherein the crown comprises two walls.

18. The noise producing toy structure of claim 15 , wherein the chamber is symmetric about an axis that is collinear with a longitudinal axis of the noise producing element.

19. The noise producing toy structure of claim 18 , wherein the inner space is symmetric about the axis that is collinear with the longitudinal axis of the noise producing element.

20. The noise producing toy structure of claim 15 , wherein the chamber is asymmetric about an axis that is collinear with a longitudinal axis of the noise producing element.

21. The noise producing toy structure of claim 20 , wherein the inner space is symmetric about the axis that is collinear with the longitudinal axis of the noise producing element.
