Abstract:
An underwater signaling device, comprising:(A) an enclosure;(B) a bell attached to the enclosure;(C) a hammer, carried within the enclosure;(D) primary spring means, carried within the enclosure and in contact with the hammer, for propelling the hammer against the bell, thereby causing the bell to vibrate audibly;(E) trigger means, pivotally carried by the enclosure, for moving the hammer against the resistance of the primary spring means;(F) secondary spring means, carried within the enclosure and in contact with the hammer, for urging the hammer away from the bell, thereby preventing the vibration of the bell from being damped; and(G) spur means, pivotally carried by an upper edge of the trigger, for engaging the hammer with a foot when the trigger moves the hammer against the resistance of the primary spring means, and for pivoting to move past the hammer after the hammer has been propelled against the bell.
