The decorative doorknocker can be provided with an elongate pulling piece convenient for a short person or a kid to use.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a magnet-sensible triggering doorbell mechanism, and more particularly to a doorbell mechanism which is provided with a magnet-sensible device so as to function more efficiently and can be provided with a pulling piece extended from the triggering doorknocker convenient for a short person or a kid to use.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In the societies of multi-storied buildings, apartment houses are more and more. A doorbell is necessary to be provided on the outside wall surface of every house in order for a visitor to notify persons in the house, and in the door plank of every apartment house is provided with a door viewer convenient for a person in the house to see who is the visitor outside before opening the door for the sake of safety.
- Nowadays, the prices of conventional doorbells are not competitive in the present markets of low prices. The creativity of the conventional push-button doorbells is limited to the modification of shapes, and there is no more brand-new improvement besides wireless type of doorbells. Furthermore, the push-button device of the conventional doorbells is easy to be ill contracting when being operated.
- Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a magnet-sensible triggering doorbell mechanism that can substantially obviate the drawbacks and promote the practical use of conventional related doorbells.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a doorbell mechanism that is provided with a magnet-sensible device so as to function more efficiently and to avoid from ill contacting.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a doorbell mechanism that is provided with a traditional style of decorative doorknocker not only to catch the reactive trend but also to let the doorbell mechanism look artistic.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a doorbell mechanism that can be provided with a pulling piece extended from the triggering doorknocker convenient for a short person or a kid to use without trouble.
- To achieve these advantages, a doorbell mechanism in the present invention includes a triggering board and a main body of a conventional doorbell. The triggering board has a magnet-sensible device and a decorative doorknocker. The magnet-sensible device and the decorative doorknocker are respectively provided with a magnet, and the doorbell can be switched on or off by means of the interaction of the magnetic fields of the magnet-sensible device and the decorative doorknocker. The decorative doorknocker can be provided with an elongate pulling piece convenient for a short person or a kid to use.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of an embodiment of the doorbell mechanism in accordance with the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective exploded view of an embodiment of the triggering board in accordance with the present invention;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective exploded view of an embodiment of the magnet-sensible device in accordance with the present invention;
- FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional view of the doorbell mechanism in assembled configuration and showing the doorknocker being operated in accordance with the present invention;
- FIG. 5 is a schematic sectional view of the doorbell mechanism in assembled configuration and showing the elongate pulling piece from the doorknocker being operated in accordance with the present invention;
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the doorbell mechanism in accordance with the present invention being mounted on the door plank; and,
- FIG. 7 is another perspective view of the doorbell mechanism in accordance with the present invention being mounted on the door plank.
- Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and3, a preferred embodiment of a magnet-sensible triggering doorbell mechanism in the present invention includes a triggering
board 1 and amain body 2 of a conventional doorbell. The triggeringboard 1 is composed by adoor viewer sleeve 11, adecorative doorknocker 12 and a magnet-sensible device 13. - Referring to FIG. 2, the
door viewer sleeve 11 includes aleft screwing section 111 and aright screwing sleeve 112. Theleft screwing section 111 is provided to penetrate through the hole in the triggeringboard 1, the door viewer of adoor plank 3 and the hole of a connectingstrip 15 and then is screwed by theright screwing sleeve 112. The connectingstrip 15 is provided with a protrudingpost 151 for themain body 2 of a doorbell to be mounted on the inner surface of thedoor plank 3. - Referring to FIG. 1, the
decorative doorknocker 12 can be various designs and can be provided with anelongate pulling piece 121, as shown in FIG. 7. Both ends of thedecorative doorknocker 12 are respectively pivotally received in bothpivotal ears 16 on the outer surface of the triggeringboard 1. Amagnet 122 is provided on a predetermined position of thedecorative doorknocker 12. - Referring to FIG. 3, the magnet-
sensible device 13 is provided in the lower interior of the triggeringboard 1 and includes amagnet 131, amagnetic spring tube 132, awiring 133 and ametal strip 134. Both ends of themagnetic spring tube 132 connect with thewiring 133, and thewiring 133 connects with the rear distal end of the wiring of themain body 2 so as to form a circuit. - While being assembled, referring to FIGS. 4 and 6, the
left screwing section 111 penetrates through the hole in the triggeringboard 1, the door viewer of adoor plank 3 and the hole of the connectingstrip 15 and then is screwed by theright screwing sleeve 112 so as for the triggeringboard 1 to be firmly secured to the outer surface of thedoor plank 3. Themain body 2 of a doorbell is secured to the inner surface of thedoor plank 3 by mounting on the protrudingpost 151 of the connectingstrip 15. Thewiring 133 of the the magnet-sensible device 13 connects with the rear distal end of the wiring of themain body 2, and themetal strip 134 is inlaid in thehole 14 of the triggeringboard 1. - While being operated, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the
decorative doorknocker 12 or thepulling piece 121 is pulled to separate themagnet 122 of thedecorative doorknocker 12 from themetal strip 134 of the magnet-sensible device 13, and the magnetic,spring tube 132 of the magnet-sensible device 13 will be triggered by the magnetic field to switch on thewiring 133 and the rear distal end of themain body 2 of the doorbell to form a circuit so as to ring the doorbell. On the contrary, when themagnet 122 of thedecorative doorknocker 12 and themetal strip 134 attract each other, themagnetic spring tube 132 of the magnet-sensible device 13 will be influenced by the interaction of two magnetic fields and switch off thewiring 133 and rear distal end of themain body 2 of the doorbell so as to stop ringing the doorbell. - While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made thereto and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications which may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
