Abstract
A low power siren having a high power sound and good tonal pattern. The siren consists of a casing with a motor and shaft protruding into a second casing. The inlet into the second casing allows for the passage of air, passing a rotor. Air cutters around the rotor merge with ribs which connect with a hub which is connected to the shaft. Air drawn through the inlet by rotation of the rotor passes the air cutters producing a noise.
Claims5
A low power siren comprising:
- a first casing;
- a motor disposed in said first casing and having an output shaft protruding from said first casing;
- a second casing having an inlet end defining a nozzle for admitting air into the interior thereof, said walls, and openings formed in the side walls for egress of air from the interior of said second casing;
- means for interconnecting said first and said second casings;
- and
- a rotor disposed in said second casing, said rotor having a hub connected to said shaft, a plurality of air cutters having circumferentially extending portions extending around the periphery of said rotor, and ribs merging with said air cutters for directly connecting central portions of the circumferentially extending portions of the air cutters with said hub whereby air drawn into said second casing through said nozzle by rotation of said rotor passes said air cutters generating noise and exits said second casing through said side wall openings, said air cutters and said ribs being positioned on one surface of said rotor and a plurality of low ribs extending outwardly from an opposed surface of said rotor, said low ribs being equally circumferentially spaced around the periphery of said rotor and contributing to the noise generated by rotation of said rotor.
