Abstract

A bag with sound emitting device including a bag portion defined by an open upper end and a closed lower end. The open upper end has a pair of handles extending upwardly therefrom in a spaced relationship on opposing sides of the bag. A pair of metal plates are secured to interior surfaces of the handles. One of the metal plates has a pair of contacts extending outwardly therefrom whereby engagement of the metal plate and the pair of contacts together creates a closed circuit and separation of the metal plate from the pair of contacts creates an open circuit. A sound emitting device is secured within an interior of the bag. The sound emitting device has a wire extending outwardly therefrom and coupling with the metal plate having the pair of contacts. The sound emitting device transmits an audible signal upon the separation of the metal plates.

Claims

1. A bag with sound emitting device for emitting a noise upon opening of the bag comprising, in combination:

a bag portion defined by an open upper end and a closed lower end, the open upper end having a pair of inverted U-shaped handles extending upwardly therefrom in a spaced relationship on opposing sides of the bag, the bag portion having an ornamental design printed thereon;

a pair of metal plates secured to interior surfaces of upper horizontal portions of the handles, one of the metal plates having a pair of contacts extending outwardly therefrom whereby engagement of the metal plate and the pair of contacts together creates a closed circuit and separation of the metal plate from the pair of contacts creates an open circuit;

a sound emitting device secured within an interior of the bag, the sound emitting device having a wire extending outwardly therefrom and coupling with the metal plate having the pair of contacts, the sound emitting device transmitting an audible signal upon the separation of the metal plates.

2. A bag with sound emitting device for emitting a noise upon opening of the bag comprising, in combination:

a bag portion defined by an open upper end and a closed lower end, the open upper end having a pair of handles extending upwardly therefrom in a spaced relationship on opposing sides of the bag;

a pair of metal plates secured to interior surfaces of the handles, one of the metal plates having a pair of contacts extending outwardly therefrom whereby engagement of the metal plate and the pair of contacts together creates a closed circuit and separation of the metal plate from the pair of contacts creates an open circuit;

a sound emitting device secured within an interior of the bag, the sound emitting device having a wire extending outwardly therefrom and coupling with the metal plate having the pair of contacts, the sound emitting device transmitting an audible signal upon the separation of the metal plates.

3. The bag with sound emitting device as set forth in claim 2 wherein the bag portion has an ornamental design printed thereon.
