.DeScribing our invention more in detail,

the bell support 2 is provided with a bell clapper or tongue 4 (Fig. 6) which is suspended-by suitable connection 6, to the screw eye Sadapted to be, screwed. into the lower end ofthe "standard 10,1preferably made of wood or other suitable material, said standard being provided with a screw socket 12 (Fig. 4;) if preferred, forthereception of j the shank of thescrew eye 8. The standard 10 may be tapered as shown,

and has a tapered top po'rtionl l (Fig. 4) to receive the socket portion '16 of the bust 18,

which maybe ornamented or. embellishedwith a hat, bouquet or in any manner preferred. a Thestandard' 10' is also provided with a hole, 18 for the reception of the front fastening ,means 20 of, greater length than therear fastening means 22, so that said,

front fastening means may be passed through the hole 18, twisted togetheriwith therear fastening means 22 and embedded in or placed in a groove in the standard 18, holes 24 being provided injthe socket portion 16' for the reception of the fastening means,

which may be made of fiexiblewire, although. other suitable fastening means may be used,

the connection being either permanent ordetachable, as preferred.

Suspended fromthe bust 18, which forms, the handle of the device, is a shield 26, which may be a flexible dress of ornamental design and associated with the bust 18, in any manner desired, and constructed of any preferred material, said shield formingan orna mental means for concealing bothstandard and bell support, as well as any unsightly fastening or securing means, and to lnsure that the shield is always in extended position,

a disk or other shield expanding means 28 is positioned between the standard 10 and the bell 2, the hole 30 receiving the shank ofthe screw eye 8.

' It may he sometimes desirable to adjust the fullness of the shield 26. For this purpose the standard 10 is provided with grooves 5, and the disk 28 with projections 7 (Fig. 9) for moving in said grooves, the disks 28' be.- ing thus capable of adjustment toward and away from the bell support 2 so that the full ness of the shield may be adjusted.

While we have thus described our inven tion with great particularity, it willbe clear that the same may be modified throughout a Wide range. e accordingly do not propose to be limited to the exact details of construction shown and described, but reserve the right in practice to make any and all modifications thereof that fall With-in the scope ofthe appended claims. 7
