PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Mountings for Bells for Various Purposes.
1, WALTER JOSEPH GINDER of the Blackwell Cycle Company, of Frederick Street,
in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a spring mounting for jingling and other bells for
cycles, motor cars, sleighs, cabs, tradesmens carts, omnibuses and vehicles
generally, toys for childrens use, harness for horses and other draught animals,
also for toy harness, dog and other animal collars and a variety of other purposes.
My invention consists in mounting a jingling bell upon the free end of a
quivering coiled or other spring whose other end consists of a clit, carrier,
or other support or attachment whereby the bell is made to partake of an
Oscillatory quivering motion and is thus continuously rung.
Thus in carrying out one form of my invention, I take a horse shoe shaped
band clip and fix upon the outer side of the same, a series of helical or spiral
spring wire coils, each surmounted by a bell consisting preferably of a spherical
shell having within it a loose or rolling clapper. When the clip is secured to a
moving object, the tremor created is communicated to the bells, which are
swayed or vibrated and keep up a continuous jingling sound.
Instead of employing spiral or pillar springs radiating or emanating from a
support, I may employ feather or other springs for the same purpose, or I may
employ double-coned coiled springs. Or the bells may be mounted on the outer
end of a volute spring whose inner end is made fast to a clip, carrier or support.
in this 14th day of December 1896.

Improvements in Mountings for Bells for Various Purposes.
I, WALTER JOSEPH GINDER of the Blackwell Cycle Company, Frederick Street,
in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, 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 relates to a spring mounting for jingling and other bells for
cycles, motor cars, sleighs, cabs, tradesmens carts, omnibuses and vehicles

page_text: generally, toys for childrens use, harness for horses and other draught animals,
also for toy harness, dog and other animal collars and a variety of other purposes.
My invention consists in mounting a jingling bell upon the free end of a
quivering coiled or other spring whose other end is secured to a clip, carrier,
or other support or attachment whereby the bell is made to partake of an
oscillatory quivering motion and is thus continuously rung.
In carrying out one form of my invention as represented in Figure 1 of the
drawing, I take a horse shoe shaped band clip a, having a drawing-up or tightening
screw a¹, and fix upon the outer side of the same, a series of helical or spiral
spring wire coils 6, each surmounted by a bell c, consisting preferably of a
spherical shell having within it a loose or rolling clapper. When the clip is
secured to a moving object, such as the hub of the wheel, or handle bar of a
bicycle the tremor created is communicated to the bells, which are swayed or
vibrated and keep up a continuous jingling sound.
Instead of employing spiral or pillar springs radiating or emanating from a
support, I may employ feather or other springs for the same purpose, or I may
emplov double-coned coiled springs.
Figure 2 represents another modification of my invention the bells c, may he
mounted on the outer end of a series of volute springs b, whose inner end is made
fast to a clip, carrier or support a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is be performed, I declare that what I
claim. is:
Mounting a jingling bell upon the free end of a quivering coiled or other
spring, whose other end is secured to a clip, carrier or other support or attach-
ment, whereby the bell is made to partake of an oscillatory quivering motion,
and is thus continuously rung.
