Description

  The present invention relates to a bell device, and more particularly to a bell device attached to a handle of a bicycle or a tricycle.

  Conventionally, a bell device shown in FIG. 1 is typical as a bell device used for a bicycle or a tricycle. As shown in the figure, this bell device is attached to a bicycle 2 or tricycle handle 2 with an attachment 11 formed like a fastening band, so that it can be easily removed when the fastening screw 12 is loosened, so that it is stolen. Has occurred frequently.

  For this reason, many users remove the bell device and carry it when parking.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances.

  That is, an object of the present invention is to improve a conventional bell device for bicycles and tricycles to be more suitable for portable use.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a bell device that can be attached to and detached from a bicycle handle, and the striking lever member that squeals the bell body also serves as an expiratory member.

  More specifically, first, a bell attachment that can be attached to and detached from a bicycle handle, a support member attached to the bell attachment, a bell body fixed to the bell attachment, and an installation on the support member. The bell device is provided with an expelling member also serving as a striking lever that can be struck when activated.

  And a bell attachment that is attached to the handle of the bicycle, a support member that is easily attached to the bell attachment, a bell body that is fixed to the support member, and a bell member that is fixed to the support member. There is also provided a bell device provided with an expelling member that also serves as a striking lever that can squeeze the bell when it is moved.

  Since the bell device according to the above-described structure is provided with a batting member that is also used as a striking lever, it can emit not only a bell sound but also a whistling whistle sound. (Refer to the first to third embodiments below).

  Further, in the bell device according to the above configuration, if the bell body is fixed to the support member instead of the fixture, only the other important part can be removed while leaving the fixture on the handle of a bicycle or the like. It is lightweight and convenient to carry (see the first and third embodiments below).

  Preferred embodiments of the bell device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, like parts are denoted by like reference numerals.

  The bell device of the present invention is attached to the handle of a bicycle or a tricycle. In the bell device of this embodiment, a case for a bicycle is taken as an example. First, a bell device as a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the bell device of this embodiment includes a bell attachment 31 attached to the bicycle handle 2, a support member 41 that is easily attached to the bell attachment 31, and a support member 41. A fixed bell body 42 and an explosive member 43 serving also as a striking lever, which is installed on the support member 41 and can be struck when operated, are provided.

  More specifically, in the bell device of this embodiment, the bell attachment 31 is similar to the typical attachment 11 as shown in FIG. 1, that is, a fastening band which can be attached to and detached from the handle 2 of the bicycle. However, the support member 41 is formed integrally with the top of the bell attachment 31 on the top of the bell attachment 31. It can be easily removed by locking with the protruding edge 410 formed on the bottom (see FIG. 3).

  That is, because of this easy-removable locking relationship, when parking, the user can leave the bell attachment 31 on the bicycle handle 2 and leave the bell body 42 and striking lever as shown in FIG. Only the essential part with the dual-purpose expansion member 43 can be easily detached together with the support member 41 and carried.

  Further, the expiratory member 43 serving also as a striking lever extends between a leading end 431 that protrudes from the bell body 42, a terminal end 432 that serves as a blowing port for the explosive, and the leading end 431 and the terminal end 432. The middle part 433 has a middle part 433, one end of which is engaged with the support member 41 and the other part is latched with the middle part 433 of the principal part 44, so that the main body 44 sounds the bell body 42. The coil spring 45 can vibrate and continue to operate when it is operated to swing left and right.

  With this structure, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user presses the end portion 432 of the expiratory member 43 by hand, the leading portion 431 frequently hits the bell body 42 due to the elasticity of the coil spring 45. Therefore, it can be easily used as a bell device, and can also be used as a whistle as shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, a lead type is used as the call body 44.

Next, a bell device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, but the bell body 42 'is fixed to the fixture 31' instead of the support member 41 '. That is, as shown in the figure, the fixture 31 'has a protruding column 311' penetrating the support member 41 'at the center of the disc-shaped mounting seat 310'. The bell body 42 'is fixed to the protruding column 311'. According to this structure, the bell device can be used as a whistle whilst being carried, but the fixture 31 ′ needs to be removed from the bicycle handle 2 together with other important parts of the bell device as in the prior art.

  Since the other structure of the bell device of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, a bell device according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the present embodiment, a member containing a cork ball 441 ″ is used as a member main body 44 ″ of a member 43 ″ also serving as a striking lever.

  Since the other structure of the bell device of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.

  As described above, the bell device of the present invention can be used as a whistle whilst being removed from the handle of a bicycle, a tricycle, etc., and the bell body is fixed to a support member, not a fixture. Sometimes the fixture can be left on the handle and is lighter and more convenient, making it more suitable for carrying than conventional bicycle and tricycle bell devices.
