Description
J. P. GONNELL. CalL-Bell.
No. 225,690. Patented Mar. 23, 1880.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN P. CONNELL, OF KENSINGTON, CONNECTICUT.
CALL-BELL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,690, dated March 23, 1880.
Application filed September 11, 1879.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN P. OONNELL, of Kensington, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented an Improved Call-Bell, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawing, where the figure is a view of my improved call-bell in the position of being struck or sounded, and with a part of the sounding-shell represented as broken away,
. this to show the interior mechanism.
The letter a denotes a sounding-shell of the usual concavo-convex shape, having a reciprocating or up-and-down motion. This may be effected by having the shell bear the pintle or shaft 1), having suitable play in or on sockets borne by the standard 0, or by having such pintle or shaft stationary and having the shell slide thereon. The shell is held normally at the top of its play by the spring d.
On the standard is pivotally hung the hammer 6, one end of which is furnished with a knob or ball for contact, in the act of sounding, with the sounding-shell, the other end being formed into a tappet. When the sounding-shell is depressed, which is effected by pressure on the knob a, the inside of the shell bears down upon the tappet end of the hammer-arm and throws the ball on the other end out against the shell, causing it to sound. When said pressure is removed the spring returns the shell to its normal position.
While some of the features of this invention are usable whether or not the hammer be borne within the mouth of the sounding-shell, there is a particular fitness that in call-bells, which are largely used on family-tables, the hammer should be hung within or under the mouth of the sounding-shell, so as to wholly or partially conceal the hammer from sight. tion with such a construction it is novel, so far as I know, to combine either a movable or immovable hammer with a sounding shell which is moved bodilyi. 0., the bell is moved as a whole, in contradistinction from a bell swung on a shaft or axist0 meet the hammer in the act of sounding the hell.
I claim as my invention- 1. In acall-bell, the combination of ahammer, hung within or under the mouth of the sounding-shell, with a sounding-shell moved bodily to meet the hammer in the act of striking, all substantially as herein shown and described.
2. In acall-bell, the combination ofthe movable sounding-shell a, the pintle or shaft 1), the standard 0, the spring d, and the hammer c, all substantially as herein shown and described.
JOHN P. CONN ELL.
