PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in connection with Electric Bells.
1, LOUIS GUSTAV WEYGANG, of 15 Smith Street, Guernsey, in the Channel'
Islands, Watchmaker and Jeweller do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to conspicuously show which bell has rung after
the ringing has ceased, without necessitating the replacing of an index as at present
customary.
For this purpose I attach a sort of pendulum, preferably in an upright position,
to the hammer of the bell, and I generally construct this pendulum as follows:
To the hammer of the bell I fix a piece of wire and bend the same upwards at
right angles. To the upright free end of the wire I fix a piece of thin watch spring
to which a disk or other shape of metal or other substance is attached.
When the bell rings the pendulum will swing and remain swinging for upwards of
two minutes, thus indicating for a sufficient length of time which bell has called.
The face of the pendulum may be of a bright conspicuous color and distinctly
marked or numbered.
Dated this 20th day of January 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in connection with Electric Bells.
I, LOUIS GUSTAV WEYGANG, of No. 15 Smith Street, Guernsey, in the Channel
Islands Watchmaker and Jeweller 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 object of this invention is to conspicuously indicate which bell has rung after
the ringing has ceased, without necessitating the replacing of an index as at present
customary.
For this purpose I attach a sort of pendulum, preferably in an upright position,
to the hammer of the bell.
I generally construct and arrange this pendulum in the following manner:
To the hammer of the bell I fix a piece of wire and bend the same upwards at
right angles. To the upright free end of the wire I fix a piece of thin watch spring
to which a disk or other shaped piece of metal, or other suitable substance is
attached.
When the bell rings the pendulum swings and continues swinging for a sufficient
length of time to indicate the bell which has called.
The face of the pendulum may be of bright conspicuous colors, and marked or
numbered.
DRAWINGS.
The accompanying sketch represents an ordinary electric bell.
"A" is the bell, and "B" the hammer.
To the hammer "B" is fixed the wire "C" to which the thin flexible wire or
spring "d" is attached which carries the disk "E."
tr
Thus, when the hammer "B" moves, an oscillating action is given to the flexible
wire or spring "d," causing the disk "E" to swing backward and forward.
