PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
_Improvements in Cycle, Electric, House, Table, and other Bells
and Gongs.
ORLANDO HANKS of 65 Mildmay Park Islington N. Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention has for its object the production of bells or gongs of extreem
lightness, with a good clear and sonorous sound, from a piece of thin sheet metal
preferably thin sheet mild steel, iron, or tinned plates.
For this purpose I stamp a bell from a piece of thin sheet steel, iron tin or other
thin sheet metal, at the base of which I extend a flat or groved flange with or
without a ridge which strengthens the body of the bell or gong and. produces
properties in the thin steel, iron, tin or other metals to give a clear and sonorous
sound.
In order that my invention may be fully understood and carried into effect I will
proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.
A. is a section of a bell or gong with the extending flange and ridge.
B. is a section of a bell or gong with the base slightly curving into the flat
extending flange.
C. is a section of a bell or gong with a groved extending flange.
D. is a section of a swinging bell with extending flange and ridge.
E E. is a section and plan of a swinging bell with a flat extending flange.
B¹ is a plan of bells or gongs A B & C.
