BELL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 280,748, dated July 3, 1883.
Application filed May 22,1883. (N0 model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUGUSTUS H. JoNEs, of Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Call-Bells; and I do hereby deciare the following, whentaken in connection with accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in I Figure 1, a front view, showing the bell as hung in the frame of a caster or other article of table service; Fig. 2, a vertical central section of the same; Fig. 3, a partial sectional side view, showing the forked end of the rod within the bell.
This invention relates to an improvement in call-bells, the object being to construct a bell which may be used as a hand or swing bell, and also as a gong-bell, with special reference to that class of bells which are designed to be hung upon table-casters or other articles of table-service, and which are to be removed therefrom to be rung .as a hand-bell; and the invention consists in a bell provided with a handle by which it may be rung as, a
- swing-bell, with a push-bearing through the top of the bell, whereby the hammer may be struck as a gong, as more fully hereinafter described.
A represents the bell, and B the handle, which is permanently attached to the bell, and so that it may be used to swing the bell inlike manner as a common hand-bell. At the lower or bell end the handle is made cylindrical, as at C, and around this cylindrical portion is a sleeve, a, having a radial projection, I). From this sleeve a rod, d, extends down through a hole, 6, in the bell, and over an arm, f, which proj'ects from the upper swiveled end of the har'fimerD. The bell, when swung by the handle, causes the hammer to vibrate in the usual manner of swing-bells. If desired to be used as a gong-bell, then the person so desiring has only to place the finger upon the projection 12 on the sleeve and press downward, as indicated in broken lines, which will throw the hammer against the bell, as also indicated in broken lines.
The sleeve a should be of such length'as to form a stop, as shown, so as to arrest the downward movement of the rod (1 just before the hammer strikes the blow, the momentum of the hammer being sufficient to give the required blow, and will then fall back against the rod (Z to permit the vibration of the bell.
The handle is constructed to be set into the frame of a caster or other article, as shown in, Fig. 1, and readily removable therefrom.
This attachment may be any of I the usual methods of manufacturing these bells, here represented as by the tapered sides of the handle engaging corresponding surfaces on the inwardly-projecting arms 6, and so that the bell itself hangs free below, in order that it may sound properly when used as a gong.
As the arm must have a considerable freedom of movement at its hinging-point in order to operate properly as a hand-bell, the arm f would be liable to get so far out of place that the rod d would not strike it. To avoid this difficulty I construct the lower end of the rod in fork shape, as seen in Fig. 3, the fork extending to the greatest range the arm f can as sume in its swinging movement; hence, wherever it may be, the depression of the rod will produce the same effect upon the hammer.
I claim 1. In a call-bell, the handle B, constructed cylindrical at its lower end, and rigidly fixed to the bell, combined with a sleeve, a, movable vertically on said cylindrical portion, with a rod, d, extending therefrom downward through the top of the bell, the hammer of thebell constructed with an arm, f, with which said rod will engage, substantially as described.
v 2. In a call-bell, the handle B, constructed cylindrical at its lower end, and rigidly fixed tothe bell, combinedwith a sleeve, a, movable vertically on said cylindrical portion, with a rod, d, extending therefrom downward through the top of the bell, the hammer of the bell constructed with an arm, f, with. which said rod will engage, the lower end of the rod forked, the prongs of the fork standing, re-
spectively, upon opposite sides of the arm f,
substantially as described.
3. A call-bell having a permanent handle, of the bell constructed with an arnnf, with constructed for engagement with the frame of which said rod will engage, substantially as 10 a table-caster or other article of table-service, 1 described. the said handle made cylindrical near the bell, combined with a sleeve arranged to move up and down on said cylindrical portion, with a Witnesses:
