UITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ARTHUR E. JLCKENZIE AND FREDERICK W. W'ATSON, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YRK.
BELL.
Application tiled May 19, 1923.
To @ZZ fw hom t may concer/n Be it known that we, ARTHUR R. MAG- nnnzrn and FREDERICK W. VVATsoN, both citizens of the United States, and residents of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of N ew York, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Bells, of which the the following is a specification.
This invention relates to bells and more particularly to small bells or gongs of portable, hand operated type used in producing a musica-l sound when agitated to the extent of causing the clapper or tongue to strike the body or casing shell.
The principal object of the invention is to produce a bell having a flexible handle which may be bent, or folded in any direction without detriment and which permits stowing the bell in an exceedingly compact man- A further purpose is to produce a bell particularly designed as an attractive novelty or fun producer at public gatherings and the like, the flexible handle readily lending itself for attachment purposes impossible to bells having rigid unyielding handles.
Another aim is in the provision of a bell which can be made in the representation of certain articles of dress and wearing apparel such as head coverings, as for instance a fez or 'turkish cap, of which the present embodiment is a reproduction in miniature including the tassel.
These and other analogous objects, aims and purposes are accomplished by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereafter described and shown in the accompanying drawing, forming part hereof, and in which Figure 1 is a. perspective view showing an embodiment of the invention and indica-ting the manner in which it is used.
Figure 2 is asimilar view drawn to a diminished scale and showing another ap plication.
Figure 3 is a side elevational view, partially broken away to show the construction.
As shown in the drawing, the body or casing shell 5 of the bell is preferably a hollow cone, open at its larger, lower end and closed at its top 6 which has a central perforation 7.
Serial No. 640,005.
A highly flexible cord 8 is doubled upon itself and has attached at its ends, by a suitable knot 9 or otherwise, a tassel 10 which 55 acts as the handle of the bell.
The bight 11 of the cord is passed through a split tubular sleeve 12 and thence through tbh1 perforation 7 into the interior of the Here the bight is engaged by a split ring 13 which also contains the eye 14 of the link 15 carrying the tongue or striker 16, which is thus free to swing in any direction and make contact with the interior of the bell to produce sound.
When the assemblage has been effected the sleeve 12 is tightly closed upon the cord preventing it from being drawn into the bell body, whereupon it is ready for use.
Besides the ordinary service as a signal device as shown in Figure 1, the bell may be attached to the garments of individuals by passing a safety pin 17 or the like through the cord as illustrated in Figure 2, so that the bell will be sounded by the movements of the user.
It will be understood that the body of the bell may be made of any suitable material, finished by polishing, plating or enamelling in any desired colors and bear such ornamentation as may be preferred, as suggested in Figure 1; also that the cord and tassel may be of silk or other material and of such color as fancy dictates.
It will `be apparent that the handle which includes the cord and tassel, may be compactly folded closely about the top of the bell so that substantially no extra space is required for it and it will be equally clear 90 that this flexible handle will perform all the functions of rigid handles besides being more pleasing to the touch.
Although we have described our improvement with considerable detail and with re- 95 spect to certain particular forms of our invention, we do not desire to be limited to such details since many changes and modifications may well be made without departing from the spirit and scope of our inven- 100 tion in its broadest aspect.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is zy A bell of the class described and a leXitop of the bell, and holding said ring 10 ble handle therefor, said handle being eomtightly against the top of the bell. posed of a doubled oord having a tassel This Specification Signed and witnessed united therewith, the bight of said cord this 17th day of May, 1923.
