Abstract
A method of mounting a squeaker into a hard rubber ball toy. A separate holder or sleeve is provided that retains a squeaker and forms the noise producing element to be inserted into the rubber toy. The sleeve has a recessed area that tightly mates with an opening in the rubber toy and also includes a bonding surface to secure the sleeve to the toy. The sleeve could also be formed with fin members that extend orthogonally from a distal end of the sleeve. The total width of the sleeve and the associated fin members is such that it complies with consumer product safety requirements.
