Improvements in or relating to Cycle and like Bells.
I, HEINRICH WISSNER, Manufacturer, of Gothaerstrasse, No. 413, Mehlis
(Thuringia), 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:-
-
The present invention relates to a cycle or like bell, fastened by means of a
springband and provided with a revolvable plate
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing Figure 1 being an
elevation partly in section Figure 2 a cross section on the line - Figure 1
and Figure 3 a detail view of the spring band.
As shown in Figure 1 the plate 1 is revolubly mounted on the pin 2 and can,
consequently be fixed in any position by turning the bell whilst holding the secur-
ing device."
E
The fastening device consists of a spring band 4 adapted to be passed round and
embrace the handle bar or support 3 a cup like case 5, which is placed on the pin 2
fiom below so as to press against the edge of a bell the top or other end of which
presses against the the plate 1, which can thus be rotated but not moved otherwise
on the pin 2.
The spring band 4 passes over or is connected to a nut 7 adapted to engage
with the screw threaded pin 2.
The springband 4 is provided at one end with an eye and a projection at the other
end, by which means the two ends can be readily closed and connected round the
support 3
The bell is attached to its support by first loosening the nut 7 which is done
by turning the bell to which the pin 2 is secured either permanently or so as not
to rotate upon it until the spring band can be easily passed round the handle bar
or support 3, then the ends of the band are connected and the bell turned in the
opposite direction thereby drawing up the nut 7 until it is just possible to turn the
plate 1.
Then the plate 1 is turned into the desired position, and by another turn of the
bell r the bell will be found to be firmly secured on the handle bar or support.
which effect is obtained by part of the springband 4 being forcibly drawn inside
the cup 5 by the nut 7 moving upwards on the screw of the bell pin 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
-
1. A cycle or like bell with a springband fastening comprising a springband
provided with a nut and having interlocking ends, said band being adapted to be
drawn up within a cup below the bell by means of the band nut and screw-threaded
pin of the bell, substantially as described.
2. In a cycle or like bell with a springband fastening the arrangement on the bell

page_text: pin permanently fixed or non-rotatably mounted on the bell; of a plate revoluble
axially round said bell pin, substantially as described.
3. The complete fastening for a cycle or like bell substantially as described or
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
