DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0027] Referring now to the drawings, a multiple game calling device is generally designated by the numeral 10. The multiple game calling device 10 includes a first game call structure 12 configured to enable making a sound for eliciting a response from a first predetermined animal, a second game call structure 14 configured to enable making a sound for eliciting a response from a second predetermined animal, a third game call structure 16 configured to enable making a sound for eliciting a response from a third predetermined animal and preferably a case 17 for carrying one or more a diaphragm-type game call to enable making a sound for eliciting a response from a fourth predetermined animal. The game call structures 12, 14, 16 and case 17 are interconnected to form a unit.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the second call structure 14 interconnects the first call structure 12, third call structure 16 and case 17. In a preferred embodiment, the second call structure 14 is characterized to be a turkey call and includes a friction surface 18 which is part of an interconnecting member 20 which connects the first and third call structures 12 and 16 and a striker 22. The interconnecting member 20 can be a rigid panel having the friction surface 18 incorporated therein which can be made of various friction materials such as wood, anodized aluminum, copper to name a few. The interconnecting member 20 can also include either a part 24 which can be magnet or metallic structure for connecting a magnet thereto. Here, there is formed a receiving surface 25 for the part 24.

[0029] An end 26 of the interconnecting member 20 includes a striker receiving surfaces 28, 29 and 30 where in the exemplary embodiment receiving surfaces 28 frictionally retain side supports 32 which extend from a handle 34 and flank a central strike member 36 which extends from the handle 34 and is removably received through receiving surfaces 29 and 30. The interconnecting member 20 can also include openings 31 in order to increase the sound effect achievable when using the striker 22. Additionally as seen in FIG. 12, the friction surface 18 can include various surface types which can be interconnected as part of the surface 18. Side supports 32 are formed with a tapered surface 33 which serve as a wedge and when pushed into receiving surfaces 28 aid in frictionally retention of the striker 22 as the diameter of the side supports 32 increase as the supports 32 extend into the retention surfaces 28.

[0030] The striker 22 which is removably retained in the striker receiving surfaces 28, 29 and 30 and can be removed and while holding the handle 34, an end 38 can be moved across the friction surface 18 to create a turkey call, for example. The central strike member 36 can be made of different materials. In a preferred embodiment, the first call structure 12 can be configured for delivering a crow sound. The third call structure 16 can be configured for delivering an owl sound. These are simply exemplary but other calls are possible. Here, the first call structure 12 and the third call structure 16 are longer in length than the second call structure 14, where the third call structure 16 can include a pair of radially extending ribs 21 about the call structure 16 and are spaced from one another so that they serve as a retention area for a lanyard cord (not shown) which a user can optionally employ. It is contemplated that the first call structure 12 could alternatively have this feature. Also, first call structure 12 and the third call structure 16 have case receiving surface areas 23 and 25, respectively, for receiving edges 43 and 45 of housing 44.

[0031] The case 17 provided is shown here to removably connect to the second game call structure 14. The case 17 includes either includes a complementary part 40, such as a metal or magnet, and thus is removably connectable to the interconnecting member 20. The case 17 includes housing 44 and a cover 46 which is hingedly connected by hinges 48. An open surface 42 is provided for receiving metal, magnet, or another material for use with the device 10.

[0032] By so providing, the instant invention sets forth a unique device that allows for carrying several different types of wild game calls in a single, lightweight, compact, manageable unit for hunting purposes. Under normal circumstances, a hunter can store the device 10 on his/her person or conveniently in a pocket hunting vest in which he stores and now is enabled with a variety of wild game calls. This unit combines different types of game calls, namely an owl call, a crow call, a friction-type turkey call, and a diaphragm-type game call, in one single carrying device. This makes it more comfortable, less cumbersome, and much more effective for the hunter to access any of the needed calls during a hunt.

[0033] While the instant invention has been set forth the above in a detailed description and embodiment, it is envisioned that other modifications, derivations and improvements will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, other call structure are envisioned for making other calls for other animals. Accordingly, the appended claims should be afforded a scope which covers such improvements, derivations, and modifications.
