PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Method of Sounding Whistles and the like in Combination
with Bellows.
I BERTHA EVELINE ARCHER of Penair Truro Cornwall (no calling) do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved method of sounding whistles, horns and
the like in combination with bellows, and has for its object to provide a call or
alarm that can be easily sounded and which would be found especially useful for
invalids, and if a powerful whistle was employed it would be heard by the attendant
at a considerable distance. Owing to the portable form of this contrivance it
can be easily carried by the person from one place to another and could be made
small enough if desired to be carried on the chatelaine or watch chain.
In carrying my invention into practice, I arrange a whistle in any convenient
part of the bellows or it may be formed integrally with the nozzle of the same,
so that when the bellows is depressed whether by hand or by the foot the whistle
will be sounded. The said whistle may be capable of emitting several notes each
note serving as a distinct message. It is obvious that any other instrument that is
capable of emitting an audible sound when air is passed through it such as a horn
for instance could be used to replace the whistle.
As my improvements are capable of some modifications without departing from
the principle thereof, I do not restrict myself to materials, dimensions or to the
precise form or placement of the horn, whistle, or the like employed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Method of Sounding Whistles and the like in Combination
with Bellows.
I, BERTHA EVELINE ARCHER of Penair, Truro, Cornwall (no calling) do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to an improved method of sounding whistles, horns and the
like in combination with bellows, and has for its object to provide a call or alarm
that can be easily sounded and which would be found especially useful for invalids,
and if a powerful whistle was employed it would be heard by the attendant at a
considerable distance. Owing to the portable form of this contrivance it can be
easily carried by the person from one place to another and could be made small
enough if desired to be carried on the chatelaine or watch chain, and could
further be used for many purposes where a whistle or bell has been hitherto
employed.
In carrying my invention into practice, I arrange a whistle in any convenient
part of the bellows, or it may be formed integrally with the nozzle of the same, so
that when the bellows is depressed whether by hand or by the foot the whistle
will be sounded. The said whistle may be capable of emitting several notes each
note serving as a distinct message. It is obvious that any other instrument that

page_text: is capable of emitting an audible sound when air is passed through it such as a
horn for instance could be used to replace the whistle.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed
to describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side view of a bellows with the whistle attached thereto,
Fig. 2 is a plan of a bellows provided with a different form of whistle,
Fig. 3 is a plan of a bellows provided with a reed whistle and
Fig. 4 shows a horn that may be substituted for the whistle shown in Fig. 1.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.
In Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings, the bellows bis provided with
handles h, by means of which it can be conveniently actuated, and a nozzle 11, the
inner periphery
screw threaded in order that the whistle w, which is secured to
the nozzle n by the chain c or in any other suitable manner, may be conveniently
screwed therein. It is obvious from the drawing that when the bellows & is depressed
the whistle w will be sounded.
In Fig. 2 the various parts of the bellows are the same as in Fig. 1, the whistle
however is of different construction, being formed integrally with the nozzle of the
bellows and provided with holes a a', a short tubes capable of sliding upon the
nozzle n is also provided, so that by covering one or both of the holes a a' different
notes may be produced, and further, by covering the holes a a' and the whistle
opening t the air would pass straight through the opening of the nozzle n and the
bellows could then be used for ordinary purposes.
In the bellows shown in Fig. 4 the nozzle and whistle are entirely dispensed
with and a whistle reed is placed in the top of the same for the purpose of
emitting an audible sound when the bellows is depressed.
Fig. 4 shows a horn d which may be screwed within the end of the nozzle n
to replace the whistle w (Fig. 1).
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
The combination of a whistle, horn or the like with a bellows, for the purpose
of providing a call or alarm, substantially as herein described and shown in the
accompanying drawings.
