Application filed June 15, 1903.
To all whom it mug; concern Bo it known that if, WIUJAM WV. Dom, a citizen oi? the United Stores oi iuncrico, and residing ill. Chicago, in the county oi Cook and Stan: of Illinois, hove invontcd a now and u: iul improvement in Elcctrolnngnctic Dori no, of which tho following is u specifiotion.
My invention rolutcn purtiouhnly to clocirounngneiio bolls of tho tuned rocd typo, ol-
though nmny of its features are of more gencrzrl application. By tuned reed I mean a rocd or o boll adapted to respond to one (llS- ilnct prcdctcrmincd rate or frequency only, and imrcs mnsi c to all other rates of vibrnlion or ircqucncics of curro'nt.
in carrying out my invention,v which has boon worluid out for commercial purposes, 1' provide u suitable framework upon which is mounted :1 pair of inugnct spools and a tuned rcod placed bctwoon the poles oi the magnet coils and mrryiup; the armature by means of which tho sold rocd is vibrated and the bell hammer which strikes tho gong of the boll in thovibrntion oi the roocl. This road is prob crobly n'iodo rczzld lly removable and replace- :iblo so thol; it only bc handily changed for huring u ditl'ercnt characteriii. rm rules of vibration of rc ntuit readily odiustod by vary -s of the balls or hammers curricigl wluarcby no mljustmcnt in tho c it i is ,ncccssur but only that a corryng the proper sized hammer or o cinployod. The diilionltics oi inunuu. nro thus largely reduced and no lod labor is noccssory for adjusting the p illl. .1
in my inrcntioii I prefer also to usc 2i d0 oiicglo gong which in itself reduces the cost of tho dcvice and groutl'y simplifies it, although two gongs may be used if desired, without departing from my invention. I hora"dlscovcrcd also ihnt the rate of vi ill "Mimi ill. opcrution of the boll to cause it. to 1 1 to r.- dciinito rut-c of alternation l oporoti g mic of vibration oi the take place. In other words, the naturalvibrnlion of the road in that event, is accelerated by the vibration of the gong or its elasticity or both, so that it is insufficient to Incl-ply" select reeds having the proper charactoristic vibration but it is also necessary to take into account the resultant action of the reed and gong. Ilerctofore in some tuned rccd clectro-ma netic devices the armature was not rcquircd to do additional work aside from making andv breaking clectric contacts which did not. increase or decrease to any appreciable oxtcnt the vibration of the reed. In my apparatus the road is required to do work which in this instance consists in ringing the. bell so that a different problem is involvcd from that of said prior devices, and which is solved in the manner indicated. I also polurizc the boll, whereby it is particularly adopted, for operation by alternating 70.
currents of the proper frequency.
Othor features of novelty will appear from the detailed description and claims.
The arc-.companying drawing illustrates one form of the invention, the some reference characters being used throughout the several views, in Which- Figure 1. indicntcs a side elevation thereof; Fig. 2 is a side elevation at right anglcs to that of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the gong mounting. lg. 4 is a segregated view in perspective of the parts of one of the rocds shown in Fig. 5.

The armature pieces i3 stamped front sheet metal are seem-ed preferably by riveting to the lower end otsprinpfl? and a sprint; strip 2f) is secured in a lll1llill' manner between the lower ends of the-armature pieces 28. it the free end of the strip 2.). the ball or hammer 30 consisting of two halves is riveted thereto. The assembled recdwhich forms unit is then secured to the upper end of the front plate 10 of the hell by means of screws 31 passing through suitable apertures in the laterally extending lugs 26 and threading into the said plate 10. The mounting clip 25 preferably consists of a punching and the wings serve to concentrate the lines of force from the permanent magnet.
in order to vary the rate of vibration of the reed, find it convenient to use different. sized balls or hammers 30. this being indirated in Fig. The reeds are thus con structcd in units and the rate of operation of the hell may therefore be varied by simply using one reed or another according to the desired rate of vibration of the armature.
is stated at the beginning of this specific tion, the characteristic vibration of the reeds does not correspond to the rate of vibration of the device as a whole. The natural action of the reed is modified by the ball 30 in first instance and by the striking of the gong which serves to accelerate the The perniiinent magnet serves its usual function in polarizing the armature to permit th: device to work satisfactorily with alternating currents. 'lhat'is, by combining the polarized armature with tuned reeds provided with tappers that will partake of the v ame vibrations as the reed, I am enabled to entirely overcome the difficulties which have hitherto prevented the successful operation of tuned reeds. These diiiiculties I attribute to the fact that the tapper, while given animpulse toward the bell, Wasallowed to return according to its own free rate as influenced by the impact of the haminer against the bell. thus it the reed Was made sufliciently rigid as to require several electrical impulses before the tapper came in contact with the bell, the frequency was so disturbed by the impact with the hell that an irregular or otherwise unsatisfactory vibra- 'tion occurred after the rapper came in corn tact "with the bell. The permanent magnet by polarizing the armature renders it sensitire to impulses in both directions which serves to maintain the vibrations of tilt paz at a rate which will respond to the. particular alternations or pulsations of our rent in a regular and harmonious manner even alter the bell has been struck. ll believe that I am the first to provide such a device with a. permanent magnet for governing or regulating the movement of the armature at. all times, and thus rendering the armature sensitive to current impulses in tivo directions. sary to show an operating circuit since this matter ivell understood by those skilled in the art.

it errors of manufacture are not multiplied and all parts go together practically without adjustment or excessive fineness in manufac- Jture. Neither the armature nor any of the other parts are carried by the permanent 2Q 'ma-gnet as is common in his form of elec- 1.,trical devicesl' The permanent magnet is seeured in place by means of the clamping strap which saves drilling the hard steel bar for screw holes. The shelf 2 supports all 26 parts which is important with devices Imade in several parts which must work together, like the bell and gong. ,I claim T1.
