Novelty Device Having Elastomeric Protrusions with Sound Producing Terminations
First Claim
1. A novelty device, comprising:
- a hub;
a plurality of flexible protrusions extending from said hub, each of said protrusions having a distal end;
a secondary object coupled to said distal end of each of said flexible protrusions, wherein each said secondary object defines an open interior space; and
a plurality of sounding elements free moving within said open interior space of at least some of said secondary objects.

Abstract
A novelty device and the associated method of fabricating component parts of the novelty device. The novelty device has at least one protrusion that is made from an elastomeric material. The protrusion has a distal end. A hole is disposed through the protrusion proximate its distal end. A secondary object is provided. The secondary object is made from a rigid material. The secondary object defines an interior space. Sounding elements are disposed within the interior space of at least some of the secondary objects. The sounding elements are free moving and produce noise within said secondary objects when said novelty device is manually shaken.

7. A novelty device, comprising:
-
a central hub; a plurality of protrusions radially extending from said central hub, each of said protrusions having a proximal end that attaches to said hub and a distal end that extends away from said central hub, wherein each of said protrusions is fabricated from an elastomeric gel; a plurality of rigid secondary objects, wherein a rigid secondary object is affixed to said distal end of each of said protrusions so that said protrusions interconnect said plurality of rigid secondary objects to said central hub; and a plurality of sounding elements in at least some of said secondary objects, wherein said sounding element are free moving and produce noise when said novelty device is dynamically manipulated. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A novelty noisemaker device, comprising
a body capable of being shaken by manual manipulation; -
a plurality of protrusions radially extending from said body, each of said protrusions having a proximal end that attaches to said hub and a distal end that extends away from said central hub, wherein each of said protrusions is fabricated from an elastomeric material; a plurality of rigid secondary objects, wherein a rigid secondary object is affixed to said distal end of each of said protrusions so that said protrusions interconnect said plurality of rigid secondary objects to said central hub, wherein said rigid secondary objects randomly collide and make noise when said body is manually shaken; and a plurality of sounding elements in at least some of said secondary objects, wherein said sounding element are free moving and produce noise within said secondary objects when said novelty device is manually shaken. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
