Abstract

A door alarm toy comprising a whistle adapted to be sounded by air escaping from an inflated balloon; and a clip adapted for engagement between a door and its door frame to hang the toy with an inflated balloon pressed against the door to frictionally retain a twist in the balloon which prevents it from deflating. When the door is then opened, the toy drops, the balloon untwists and air escaping from the balloon sounds the whistle.
