Claims20
A pipe organ doorbell, comprising:
- a lower closed enclosure housing one or more electrotechnical devices for producing a controlled air flow which drives at least one organ pipe, the at least one organ pipe rests upon a top surface of a decorative lower enclosure where it is coupled to a blower with a section of flexible hose, the at least one organ pipe rest in a captive position between the top surface and a first bottom surface of the top enclosure;
- an upper open enclosure including a backplane, a pair of front supports, and a top enclosure, a decorative upper open enclosure provides viewing of at least one organ pipe arranged in a vertical manner;
- an AC power cable electrically powering the pipe organ doorbell by an AC power cable controlled via a low voltage cable, the power cable and the low voltage cable are penetrating a second bottom surface provided on the decorative lower enclosure;
- a timing relay disposed on a fore-right side of the pipe organ doorbell, an output of the timing relay is then routed to a motor speed control which governs a speed of a blower motor, the timing relay will close a circuit for a predetermined amount of time whenever a doorbell pushbutton switch is pushed;
- a step-down transformer wired in series with the doorbell pushbutton switch and a power resistor which serves to limit a current and prevent inadvertent operation of the timing relay from stray currents;
- the motor speed control wired in series with the blower motor;
- a motor speed control shaft located in an access hole that is part of the motor speed control;
- and,
- an inlet duct provided to serve as an air supply source for the blower that is filled with a sponge to filter an incoming air and deaden a sound of the blower motor.
