A variety of bells are described. In one aspect, a support carries a bell body. A first portion of the support is positioned within the bell cavity and a second portion extends outside the bell cavity through the bell's mouth. A strike lever is coupled to the support at a location within the bell cavity. The strike lever is resiliently biased towards a neutral position that is spaced apart from the bell body. To ring the bell, a user presses the strike lever thereby spring loading the lever as the lever moves away from the bell strike surface. When the strike lever is released, the spring loading causes the strike lever to swing to strike the bell body to ring the bell. The strike lever is configured to strike the bell body while traveling in a direction having a radially outward vector component.

The present application is directed to a Bicycle Stem with Integrated Bell that mounts between the steering post and the handle bars. It incorporates a utility accessory mount for attaching a front light, a camera or other devices that can be easily removed. In addition, it will have an internal cavity where a gravity and motion activated conventional bell that can ring using a magnetic on/off option or a mechanical on/off capability. The internal cavity may additionally house an electronic component with a bell or siren having a continuous sound or when the cyclist presses the on/off switch or an intermittent audible sound control button.

The invention relates to a percussion bell comprising a bell and a hammer mounted on a base provided with a collar for clamping around a mounting. The collar being arranged with an installation axis (A) of the mounting, a sagittal installation plane (M) containing the outermost portion of the collar, as well as a transverse plane (T) perpendicular to the installation plane (M) and containing the installation axis (A). The hammer has a central portion rotatably mounted on the base and topped by an upper tab provided with a percussion area. The hammer also has a lower tab for movement provided with an actuating area, the percussion area extends above the transverse plane (T), and the actuating area extends below the transverse plane by being offset outwards relative to the installation plane (M).

A singing bowl player for selectively striking, turning and playing a bowl. The singing bowl player comprises a central axis, a mallet assembly, a rotating layer, and a base. The base supports the singing bowl player. The mallet assembly attaches to the rotating layer. The rotating layer is configured to rotate about the central axis relative to the base in a 360-degree pattern. The base supports and secures the bowl. The mallet assembly comprises a mallet having a striking tip. The mallet assembly selectively holds the striking tip of the mallet at a rim of the bowl as the rotating layer rotates the striking tip around the rim.

The invention relates to a percussive bell for attaching to the handlebar of a bicycle, the bell having a bell element and a hammer which are mounted on a base with a clamping collar. The hammer is manually movable over a stroke that stresses an elastic member arranged to cause the subsequent movement of the hammer over a percussion stroke. The collar has a first end rigidly secured to the base and a second free end provided with a fastener. The bell element has a matching second fastener that acts jointly with the collar fastener in order to keep the collar in a clamped state about the handlebar and to attach the bell element to the base via the collar.
