Abstract
An air blowing and sounding handle bar socket connects onto the end of handle bars of bicycles and the like. A whistle inserted in the handle bar socket makes a pleasant sound when the handle bar socket is squeezed. Two semicircular air chambers are connected with a third chamber, and all of the three chambers supply compressed air for sounding the whistle when the handle bar socket is squeezed.
Claims1
In combination, a handle bar socket and a handle bar for a bicycle, said combination comprising:
- a handle bar for a bicycle, said handle bar having first and second substantially cylindrical ends;
- and
- a handle bar socket attached to one of said first and second ends of said handle bar, said handle bar socket including two resilient semicircular air chambers, a third small air chamber fluidly communicating said two resilient semicircular air chambers, each said two semicircular air chambers having a separating wall extending partially into said third small chamber, said separating walls being attached together at an end thereof in said third small chamber, said end having a whistle-receiving hole therein for receiving an air whistle, an air whistle received in said whistle-receiving hole, compressed air being forced from each said two resilient semicircular air chambers into said third small air chamber and through said air whistle for producing a sound when a force is applied to each said two resilient semicircular air chambers for partially collapsing said two air chambers, and said two chambers returning to a normal uncollapsed state and drawing air in through said air whistle and into said third small chamber and into said two resilient air chambers when a force is no longer applied to said two resilient semicircular air chambers.
