  • Publication number: 20200327874
    Abstract: A variety of bells are described. In one aspect, a support carries a bell body. A first portion of the support is positioned within the bell cavity and a second portion extends outside the bell cavity through the bell's mouth. A strike lever is coupled to the support at a location within the bell cavity. The strike lever is resiliently biased towards a neutral position that is spaced apart from the bell body. To ring the bell, a user presses the strike lever thereby spring loading the lever as the lever moves away from the bell strike surface. When the strike lever is released, the spring loading causes the strike lever to swing to strike the bell body to ring the bell. The strike lever is configured to strike the bell body while traveling in a direction having a radially outward vector component.
