Description
@titled gemist LEONARD O. BUTOH, OF LANCASTER, OHIO.
Letter Patent No. 103,559, dated May 3l, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT-IN BELLS FOR CLOCKS.
The ASchedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part cf 'che same To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LEONARD O. Buren, of Lancaster, in the county of Fairfield vand State of Ohio,
have invented a new and useful Improvement in GlockV Bells, of which the following is a full and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings making a part of this specicatiomin which- Figure 1 represents the clock-bell with long sta-y.
Figure 2, clock-bell -with short stay.
Figure 3, top view of the escutcheon.
Figure 4, section through escutcheon, showing the attachment of stay.
In all the fgurestbe same letters refer to similar parts.
A is the escutcheon, with long stay.
a, the escutcheon with short stay.
O, the clock-bell.
D, foot of bell.
E, point of percussion.
The nature of my invention consists in providing a Stay to the foot of clock-bells so as to increase their strength and improve the clearness and solidity of their tone.
To enable others skilled in tbe art to make and use my invention, I will'proceed to describe its construetion and operation.
I extend the foot 'of the bell and bend it around in a loop or semioircle to the peint of' percussion E, to which I attach it by silver or other hard solder, thus forming a brace or anvil to sustain the footD, and causing the strain arising from the stroke ofthe haininer of the bell to be equally transmitted over the escutcheou, thus improving the clearuess and soldity of the tone of the bell, and obviating its liability to be broken off at its foot.
Thefoot D is joined to a round brass bearing, as herein shown, by means of hard solder.
In a clock where the striking is required to be rapid and hard, the stay should be made shorter, as shownl in fig. 2.
Having thus fully described the construction and operation of my invention,
IVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A stay attached to the foot of a clock-bell, back of the point of percussion, as herein shown, and for the purpose described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing improvenient in clock-bells, I have hereunto set my hand this.
19th day of January, 1870.
L. O. BUTCH. Iitnessesz K. FaITTnn, DANIEL CONNELEY.
