Abstract: A desk bell that has a good sound reverb and a long lingering sound includes a swingably supported bell body and striking section that hits the bell body. The striking section includes a striker, an operating part for operating the striker, and separating part that quickly separates the striker from the bell body after the striker striking the bell body. The bell body is placed and supported on or point-supported on a supporting member. The bell body has a conical shape with an open bottom or an inverted bowl shape and has an inner top part placed and supported on or point-supported on the supporting member. The striker is disposed inside the bell body.

Abstract: A bicycle bell includes a housing mounted on a handlebar and comprising a channel and an upward extending flange partially surrounding a top of the channel; a guide member secured to the housing; a drum secured to and covered the guide member; and a spring biased striking device mounted on the channel and comprising a bell lever and an opposite clapper extending through the flange to contact the guide member. Pivoting the bell lever about the channel will pivotably move the clapper to strike a first position on the drum after passing the guide member. Releasing the bell lever will return the clapper to its inoperative position after passing the guide member and striking an opposite second position on the drum. The bell is easy to manipulate with the same hand squeezing the brake lever.

Abstract: A horn includes a base adapted to be mounted to a bar, and a sound-generating unit. The base includes a support member and an elastic connecting member. The support member has a bottom portion adapted to be placed adjacent to the bar, a top portion extending upwardly from the bottom portion, and a hook protruding from the bottom portion. The elastic connecting member has an annular portion fittingly sleeved over the bottom portion of the support member, and a clamping portion extending from the annular portion and adapted to wrap around the bar and be releasably hooked onto the hook. The sound-generating unit includes a hollow horn body sleeved on the top portion of the support member, and a reed member disposed in the horn body and having opposite ends in fluid communication respectively with the air inside and the air outside the horn body.

Abstract: A bell mounted in one of at least one brake lever of a bicycle is disclosed. The brake lever includes two brake levers each including an opening section. In one embodiment, the bell includes a sounding section in the opening section and including a hollow cylinder, an annular flange having one open end in communication with inside of the cylinder, a first spring biased between an inner wall of the brake lever and the cylinder with the flange disposed therein, a second spring in the cylinder and having one end engaged with the end of the cylinder, and a bolt driven through the second spring, the flange, and the first spring to have one end threadedly secured in the brake lever and a head urging against the second spring; and a spring biased striking section pivotably secured onto the brake lever and including a lever and a clapper.

Abstract: A striker mechanism 21 which clangs a bell 21 is made up of a support member 31 which projects radially outward of the bell, a striker 41 pivotably mounted on the support member so as to be rockable in a direction toward and away from the outer peripheral surface of the bell, and a leaf spring member 41 for maintaining the striker at an intermediate position as viewed in the rocking direction which is by a given distance spaced from the bell. The striker is formed at its one end with an impactor 42 which impacts the bell and an operator 43 which operates the striker for rocking motion and is formed at the other end with a spring abutment 46 against which the leaf spring member resiliently abuts, an intermediate portion between the opposite ends being pivotably mounted on the support member so as to be rockable.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
