Abstract
A sound producing game bat includes a generally cylindrical slide tube having a center bore defined therein and a fluted outer surface. A generally cylindrical slide weight is received within the center bore of the slide tube and is captivated at the handle end by a resilient dampening plug. The hitting end of the game bat includes a sound producing unit having a sound unit housing within which a diaphragm and diaphragm cone are resiliently supported. During swings of the game bat by the batter, the slide weight travels through the center bore of the slide tube and strikes the diaphragm cone causing the diaphragm to vibrate and producing sound effects. A foam covering is molded upon the game bat to enclose virtually the entire bat in a secure attachment.
