PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in connection with Portable Electric Bells.
I, JOHN OBADIAH BROOKE Cross Street Wakefield Yorks Plumber and
Gasfitter do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
11
Hitherto the wire cord forming the connection between the push and the electric
bell has been wound or coiled at the side of the bell or battery box or upon a
separate coil apparatus.
Now this invention consists in the construction of a battery box in connection
with portable electric bells with projecting sides all round the box, both before and
behind thereby forming a reel upon which to coil the flexible cord or wire, the
projecting sides being intended to prevent the cord or wire from slipping off the
reel, or becoming entangled when it is desired to coil the said cord or wire and at
the same time to give an ornamental effect to the apparatus, the cord being
practically hid from view.
It is so constructed that it will either stand upon a table or may be suspended.
