Abstract
A cord is formed into a loop with a metal clip, and is knotted about a rigid ear which protrudes from the body of a conventional whistle. A plastic tube is slipped over the knotted lanyard at the whistle ear and heat-shrunk in place, to cause the whistle to protrude from the lanyard on a generally rigid stem. When the lanyard is slipped onto the glove of the wearer, the protruding stem causes the whistle to extend outwardly from the glove and hence presents the mouthpiece of the whistle for ready grasping by the wearer's lips for rapid actuation of the whistle. Alternatively, the whistle is engaged to a hook-and-loop fastener flexible strap by a rigid clip, which extends through a fold in the strap. The connection between the clip and the fastener limits side to side twisting of the whistle, allowing ready blowing by the wearer.
