Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bell used as a Buddhist altar implement, and more particularly to a bell implement that is a set consisting of a bell body and a bell rod used to strike the bell body. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, families have become smaller, and Buddhist altars and other items have become smaller. Along with this, there is a demand for smaller ring implements. The applicant has previously proposed a phosphorus having an open top and a self-supporting contact acting body inside (Patent Document 1). The invention described in Patent Document 1 is superior in that the bell can be made to ring by simply shaking the contactor lightly, and the contactor also functions as a ringing rod. The present invention provides a more compact structure in which the phosphor rod is disposed inside the phosphor body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5651821 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a bell tool that can accommodate a bell rod inside the bell body and further imparts various functions to the bell rod. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The ring tool of the present invention comprises a ring body having an open top and a ring rod that can be stored inside the ring body, the ring rod having a striking portion, a knob portion, and a connecting portion connecting the striking portion and the knob portion, and the connecting portion having a lid portion or a support portion. Here, the lid portion is large enough to cover the opening of the phosphorus body when the phosphorus rod is housed inside the phosphorus body, and the support portion is capable of supporting the phosphorus rod in an upright position. This allows the bell tool to be stored with the bell stick housed inside the bell body when it is placed on a Buddhist altar or in front of a Buddhist altar, and when striking the bell body, the bell stick can be lifted up and used.

[0006] The present invention is characterized in that the ring rod is endowed with various functions other than striking rings, and specific examples are given below. For example, the phosphorus rod is freestanding, and when the phosphorus rod is placed inside the phosphorus body, the lid portion is large enough to roughly cover the opening of the phosphorus body, and a gap is formed between the lid portion and the upper edge of the opening. In this way, even if the bell body is struck with the bell rod and the bell rod is placed inside the bell body, the bell body will ring as it is, and the reverberation will be longer, since there is a gap between the lid and the upper edge of the opening of the bell body. In addition, the lid is large enough to cover the opening of the bell body, preventing dust and other particles from getting inside the bell body while the bell rod and bell body are stored as a set.

[0007] Here, if a flexible material is used for the connecting part of the bell rod, the bell rod can be left standing inside the bell body and the lid can be pushed down with the knob, causing the lid to hit the upper edge of the opening of the bell body, stopping the sound that is currently being made. The same operation can also be performed by lightly pressing the edge of the lid from above.

[0008] In the present invention, the inner bottom of the phosphorus body may have a positioning portion for positioning the phosphorus rod when it is placed in a self-standing state. This makes it easier to position the phosphorus rod when it is housed inside the phosphorus body. The positioning portion may have a variety of structures, such as a stepped recess, a ring-shaped protrusion, or a plurality of protrusions arranged in a concentric pattern.

[0009] In the present invention, when the phosphorus rod is stored inside the phosphorus body, the structure is not necessarily limited to one that allows the phosphorus rod to stand on its own.For example, when the phosphorus rod is stored inside the phosphorus body, the lid portion may be held at the upper edge of the opening of the phosphorus body, so that the striking portion is held hanging down by the connecting portion. In this case, it is not necessary for the striking part of the ring rod to be in contact with the bottom of the inside of the ring body. Here, the connecting part that holds the striking part hanging down can be made of various materials such as a shaft, string, wire, coil spring, etc., and in some cases the connecting part is divided into multiple connecting members, and the connecting members are connected to each other in a manner that allows them to bend freely. For example, a plurality of connecting members may be connected to each other via ring portions, or may be in the form of a chain made up of a plurality of links.

[0010] In the present invention, the support portion provided at the connecting portion of the ring rod may be capable of standing on its own with the striking portion hanging down. This is intended to include not only the case where the phosphorus rod is held by the above-mentioned lid portion, but also the case where the phosphorus rod is held by a plurality of legs, for example, in a self-supporting manner. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] The present invention not only allows the bell rod to be housed inside the bell body, but also provides a lid and a support part to the bell rod as a connecting part, thereby preventing dust and the like from entering the lid and the bell body and providing functions to adjust the length of time the bell rings. Furthermore, by making the bell stick stand on its own with a support part, the bell can be struck by simply pinching the knob part with the fingers and shaking it lightly. The bell tool of the present invention is a table bell that makes a sound by simply pinching the knob of the bell rod and shaking it lightly, so it can also be used as a table bell.

(a) shows the exterior, and (b) shows a cross-sectional view of the phosphorus body. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] An example of the structure of the ring tool according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The diagram shows a representative example and is not intended to be limiting.

[0014] The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 shows an example in which the phosphorus rod is self-standing. The ring fixture comprises a ring body 10 having an opening 12 at the top, and a ring rod 20. The bell rod 20 has a striking part 21 for striking the bell body 10 and a gripping part 23 that can be easily gripped with fingers or the like, and these are connected by a connecting part 22. The connecting portion 22 has a lid portion 24 in the middle thereof, and this lid portion 24 may be provided integrally with the phosphorus rod 20, or a separate part may be attached to the connecting portion 22. The size (outer dimensions) of the lid portion 24 is formed to be large enough to cover almost the entire opening 12 of the phosphorus body 10, so that dust and the like cannot get in when the phosphorus rod 20 is housed inside the phosphorus body 10. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, a gap is formed between the upper edge 12a of the phosphorus body 10 and the outer edge 24b of the lid portion 24 when the phosphorus rod 20 is housed in the phosphorus body 10. In FIG. 1, the gap is depicted as being large, but it may be small as long as it does not interfere with the vibration of the phosphorus body 10. Furthermore, a stepped protrusion 24a may be formed so that the lid portion 24 can close the opening 12 as much as possible. To enable the phosphorus rod 20 to stand on its own, the bottom surface of the striking portion 21 is flat 21a as shown in Figure 1(c), and a positioning portion 13 is formed inside the bottom portion 11 of the phosphorus body 10, making it easy to determine the position of the phosphorus rod 20 to stand on its own. The positioning portion 13 shown in FIG. 1 is a stepped recess, but it may be formed as a ring-shaped protrusion surrounding the striking portion. In this way, even if you lift the knob 23 with your fingers or the like, lightly strike the inside or outside of the bell body 10, and return it to the state shown in FIG. 2, the bell body 20 will continue to ring. To stop the ringing of the bell body, simply press the lid part 24 so that the outer edge 24b of the lid part 24 contacts the upper edge 12a of the bell body 10, or pinch the knob part 23 and tilt the lid part 24. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the connecting portion 22 has flexibility.

[0015] The embodiment shown in Figure 2 is an example in which the underside of the outer edge of the lid portion 24 of the phosphorus rod 20 abuts against the upper edge portion 12a of the opening of the phosphorus body 10, allowing the phosphorus rod 20 to be held hanging down inside the phosphorus body 10.

[0016] In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, if the striking part 21 can be held hanging down and the connecting part can be made flexible, it will be easier to strike the bell when lifting the bell stick 20. In order to provide flexibility to the connecting portion, various shapes such as string, wire, coil spring, etc. can be adopted for the connecting portion. In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the connecting portion is divided into a first connecting member 22a and a second connecting member 22b, and ring portions 122a and 122b are provided at the ends of each connecting member, and the ring portions are connected to each other so that they are inserted inside the ring. This makes it easier to lightly pinch the knob with your fingers and strike the coin.

[0017] The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is an example in which striking part 21 of the bell rod is suspended and supported by a plurality of legs, for example, four legs 25a to 25d, instead of a lid, allowing the bell to stand on its own. In this case, the connecting portion 22 may be in the form of a wire or string. In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the striking part 21 of the bell rod can be placed freestanding on the outside of the bell body 10, and after striking the bell body 10, the striking part 21 of the bell rod can be placed inside the bell body 10 as is and still produce a sound. In addition, the user can also strike the ball by simply pinching the knob 23 with his or her fingers and gently shaking it sideways. [Explanation of symbols]
