Abstract
A holiday ornament assembly for hanging includes a bell body that has an upper wall and peripheral wall that is attached to and extends downwardly therefrom. The peripheral wall has a bottom edge creating an opening into the bell body. A pendulum is pivotally attached to the bell body. The pendulum has an upper end and a lower end. The upper end extends through an aperture in the upper wall. A bob is attached to the lower end and positioned within the bell body. A housing is comprised of a top wall and a perimeter wall that is attached to the top wall and extends downwardly therefrom and attached to the upper wall. A hook is attached to and extends outwardly from the top wall. A drive assembly is mounted in the housing and pivots the pendulum to strike the bell body emitting a ringing sound.
Claims6
A holiday ornament assembly configured for hanging on a tree, said assembly comprising:
- a bell body having an upper wall and a peripheral wall being attached to and extending downwardly from said upper wall, said peripheral wall having a bottom edge forming an opening into said bell body;
- a pendulum being pivotally attached to said bell body, said pendulum having an upper end and a lower end, said upper end extending through an aperture in said upper wall, said lower end being positioned within said bell body, a bob being attached to said lower end, a ringing sound being emitted when said bob strikes said bell body;
- a housing comprising a top wall and a perimeter wall being attached to said top wall and extending downwardly therefrom, said housing being attached to said upper wall, a hook being attached to and extending outwardly from said top wall;
- and
- a drive assembly being mounted in said housing, said drive assembly being configured to move said pendulum to strike said bell body;
- wherein said drive assembly includes:
- a motor;
- a battery being electrically coupled to said motor;
- a power switch being electrically coupled to said motor to turn said drive assembly on or off;
- a cam mechanically engaged with said pendulum;
- and
- a control circuit being electrically coupled to said motor;
- and
- wherein said cam has a first side and a second side, said cam being rotatably coupled to the motor such that said cam rotates when said motor is actuated to an on position, a first peg and a second peg being attached to said first side of said cam, said first and second peg being configured for engaging with said upper end such that when said first and second pegs engages said upper end said bob moves forward and strikes said bell body.
A holiday ornament assembly configured for hanging on a tree, said assembly comprising:
- a bell body having an upper wall and a peripheral wall being attached to and
- extending downwardly from said upper wall, said peripheral wall having a bottom edge forming an opening into said bell body, said bell body comprising a rigid material;
- a pendulum being pivotally attached to said bell body, said pendulum having an upper end and a lower end, said upper end extending through an aperture in said upper wall, said lower end being positioned within said bell body, a bob being attached to said lower end, said bob being comprised of a metal material, a ringing sound being emitted when said bob strikes said bell body;
- a housing comprising a top wall and a perimeter wall being attached to said top wall and extending downwardly therefrom, said housing being attached to said upper wall, a hook being attached to and extending outwardly from said top wall;
- a drive assembly being mounted in said housing, said drive assembly being configured to move said pendulum to strike said bell body, said drive assembly including:
- a motor;
- a battery being electrically coupled to said motor;
- a power switch being electrically coupled to said motor to turn said drive assembly on or off;
- a cam having a first side and a second side, said cam being rotatably coupled to the motor such that said cam rotates when said motor is actuated to an on position, a first peg and a second peg being attached to said first side of said cam, said first and second peg being configured for engaging with said upper end such that when said first and second pegs engages said upper end said bob moves forward and strikes said bell body;
- and
- a control circuit being electrically coupled to said motor, a timer input being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said timer input having a series of time limit inputs, said time limit inputs each including a switch position and a timing program associated with each switch position, each timing program including a first period of time elapsed with said motor off and a second period of time elapsed with said motor on, said second period being at least 10.00 seconds and less than 25.00 seconds.
