PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Musical Exercise Bells.
I, ELIZABETH HUGHES of Sрon Lane Board Schools, West Bromwich, in the
County of Stafford, Head Mistress, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:--
This invention has for its object the improvements hereafter described in
musical exercise-bells and relates principally to exercise-bells used by young
children for teaching a musical drill.
My invention consists essentially of an exercise-bell somewhat in the shape of a
dumb-bell made from wood by turning in a lathe. The wide or extended part of the
said bell is provided at each end with two or more recessed or countersunk parts.
Across each recess I fix a wire pin or rod to which I connect the shank of a
spherical bell, the said bell lying flush or nearly flush with the outer surface of
exercise bell.
An exercise bell made in accordance with my invention when used for exercise
or drill will give a musical sound, and may be used by a number of children for a
musical drill.
Dated this 3rd day of October 1895.

I ELIZABETH HUGHES (Miss) of Spon Lane Board Schools, West Bromwich
in the County of Stafford, Head Mistress, 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 :-
This invention has for its object the improvements hereafter described in
musical exercise bells and relates principally to exercise bells used by children for
working a musical drill.
My invention consists essentially of an exercise bell somewhat in the shape of a
dumb-bell, made from wood by turning in a lathe. The wide or extended part of
the said bell is provided at each end with two or more recessed or countersunk
parts. Across each recess I fix a wire pin or rod, to which I connect the shank
of a spherical bell, the said bell lying flush or nearly flush with the outer surface
of the exercise bell. An exercise bell made in accordance with my invention
when used for exercise or drill will give a musical sound and may be used by a
number of children for a musical drill.
I will describe my invention by reference to the accompanying drawings, the
same letters of reference indicating similar parts throughout.
Figure 1 is a front elevation and Figure 2, a cross section on line a. b. of a
musical exercise bell made in accordance with my invention K is the handle or

Price &d1

page_text: recesses D. E. into which are fitted the bells A. B. by means of the pins F. G.
upon which the bell is free to move.
Figure 3 illustrates a modification of my invention in which the extended
parts H and I are made much larger, thus allowing the insertion of more bells.
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:-
An improved musical exercise bell having the bells suspended by a pin or pins
in recesses or depressions formed in the enlarged parts H and I substantially as
and for the purpose set forth.
