  With the westernization of life styles, there are fewer houses with Buddha spaces. Along with the present situation, Buddhist altars have become Western-styled and are often installed in living rooms.

  In the case of such Western-style Buddhist altars, the installed Buddhist tools are also required to be Western-style. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a Western-style bell that can be used for the bell as a Buddhist instrument. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bell that can emit a sound without being beaten by a wooden wall and still keeps a clear sound even when placed on the floor.

  The configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object is as follows.

  (1) The invention described in claim 1 includes a frame, a ball placed on the frame, an arm that curves upward from the frame and extends upward, and is supported by the arm and is provided at the bottom. The part is located on the gantry, and the ball is configured by a bell jar provided in a shape that prevents the ball from escaping from the space surrounded by the gantry and the bell jar.

  (2) The device described in claim 2 is configured by embedding a magnet in the frame and forming a ball of a magnetic material in the bell described in claim 1.

  It will be outlined with reference to the drawings how the present invention configured as described above works to solve the problems.

  The bell 1 according to the present invention is not bowl-shaped or bowl-shaped like the conventional example, but has a bell-like appearance as shown in FIG. 1, so it is equipped on a Western-style Buddhist altar that is supposed to be installed in a living room or the like. Even if there is no sense of incongruity, a bell can be provided.

  Further, according to the present invention, if the arm 2 is held and the bell rod 3 is shaken, the ball 4 collides with the bell rod 3 and a sound is produced, so that no oak is required.

  In this way, it is not necessary to hit with a wooden wall, that is, there is no peeling of the paint by hitting with a wooden wall, so it is possible to freely paint the outer periphery of the bell wall 3 and provide a decorative bell. It will be.

  In the bell according to claim 2, as shown in FIG. 3, the magnet 6 is embedded in the gantry 5 and the ball 4 that collides with the bell rod 3 and makes a sound is formed of a magnetic material. It is possible to suppress the ball 4 from colliding with the bell rod 3 unnecessarily and making a large number of sounds. In other words, when the bell 1 is swung with the arm 2, the ball 4 fixed by the magnet on the gantry 5 leaves the gantry 5 and collides with the bell rod 3, and sounds. Since the ball 4 that has fallen on is fixed to the gantry 5 by the magnet 6 again, the ball 4 does not collide with the bell rod 3 more times and no sound is produced.

  In general, when you visit the Buddhist altar, it depends on the sect, but it is in accordance with the worship law that the bell rings about 1 to 3 times. It will be. According to the present invention, even if the arm portion is swung as described above, the ball collides with the bell rod only once unless it is shaken more strongly. In other words, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a bell suitable for the method of worshiping the Buddhist altar.

  Further, since the bell rod 3 is suspended by the arm portion 2, when the bell 1 is placed on the floor surface, the bell rod 3 does not contact the floor surface. Therefore, when the bell 1 is sounded and the sound is reverberating, the sound of the bell 1 does not stop even on the floor, and the clear sound continues to resonate.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a preferred device will be outlined with reference to the drawings. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments, and various forms can be adopted as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

  The bell 1 according to the present invention is composed of an arm portion 2, a bell rod 3, a ball 4, a frame 5, and a magnet 6.

  The gantry 5 is a disk-like body or plate-like body having a weight sufficient to support the entire bell 1, and is preferably formed of a metal material. In the device according to the second aspect, the magnet 6 is embedded in the gantry 5.

  The arm part 2 is attached to the gantry 5 and is a plate-like body or a rod-like body that curves from the gantry 5 and extends upward. The arm portion 2 may be provided separately from the gantry 5 and may be welded to the gantry 5 or may be provided integrally with the gantry 5.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bell rod 3 has a bowl shape. However, the bell rod 3 is not limited to the above, and a bowl shape, a bowl shape, a bell-shaped bell shape, or the like can also be adopted.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bell rod 3 is supported by being suspended from the arm portion 2 by a mounting bracket 7. Of course, it does not receive the limitation concerned, but as shown in FIG. 4, you may support with the attachment metal fitting 7 in the shape mounted in the arm part 2. As shown in FIG.

  The positional relationship between the bell rod 3 and the gantry 5 needs to be provided in such a phase that the ball 4 placed on the gantry 5 does not jump out even if the arm 1 is held by the hand and the bell 1 is swung. That is, the distance between the lower opening 3 a of the bell rod 3 and the gantry 5 is provided less than the diameter of the ball 4.

  The bell rod 3 is made of a metal material. If the outer peripheral surface of the bell rod 3 is painted or a pattern is printed, it becomes more decorative.

  The ball 4 may be formed of any metal material, but in the device according to claim 2, it is necessary to form it with nickel, cobalt, iron or other magnetic material.

  FIG. 4 shows another embodiment. As described above, the bell rod 3 is supported by the mounting bracket 7 so as to be placed on the arm portion 2.
