Patent number: 11900906Abstract: A bell and hammer rotational device is shown and described. The bell and hammer rotational device includes a frame which is made up of at least two side walls. The frame has a spindle rotatably secured thereto. A rotational device is coupled to the spindle such that the spindle will rotate the rotational device, when the spindle is rotated. At least one bell is secured about a perimeter of the rotational device. A bell hammer is secured to the frame. The bell hammer is positioned such that it will strike the at least one bell, at least once, with each revolution of the rotational device.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Malmark Bells, Inc.Inventor: Derek Mohr

Patent number: 6450115Abstract: A bicycle bell with an inverted bell dome and a substantially enclosing cover. Preferably, the cover also functions to activate the bell. Alternatively, a lever actuator can be used, either in combination with the cap or as a separate element. The cover shields the bell dome from rain or other water and helps prevent the accumulation of water drops on the surface of the bell dome. The bell is adaptable to a variety of striking mechanisms but preferably uses one incorporating a gear train with a gear ration of at least 1:10 providing very rapid, long duration striking for relatively small movement by the user. The cap can be made of a transparent or semi-transparent material allowing the operation of the striking mechanism to be viewed.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2000Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Inventors: Kyoji Ichimura, Motohisa Ishiwa, Kazaharu Seki

Publication number: 20020073913Abstract: A vehicle horn has a bell having a circular plate formed at a rear end thereof, a vibration sheet mounted on the circular plate and a contact seat mounted on a central portion of the vibration sheet. A roller is rotatable about an axis through the center of the contact seat. A motor has an output axle extending through a rotor, and a flange formed at a front end thereof and engaged with the circular plate of the bell. A vibration seat is mounted on a front end of the output axle and faces the contact seat. The vibration seat has a wave-like surface being composed of a plurality of staggered concavities and convexities, and is engaged with the roller.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2000Publication date: June 20, 2002Inventor: John Lu

Patent number: 5307756Abstract: A bicycle bell has a finger actuated strike lever mounted on a rotating base. The rotating base can be rotated around the 360.degree. periphery of the ringer. Thus, the bell can be quickly adjusted for various riders or for switching from the right to the left handlebar. Additionally the present invention allows the user to choose which finger to use as well as to accommodate other equipment such as bicycle levers, etc.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1993Date of Patent: May 3, 1994Inventors: Kyoji Ichimura, Motohisa Ishiwa, Kazuharu Seki
