My Patent

Patent Number: 4292795

• Electro-mechanical locomotive bell ringing apparatus for quick and easy replacement of existing pneumatic bell ringing systems

In the summer of 2010, I worked at GE Transportation testing locomotive diesel engines. Many days I found myself firing up the large diesel engines and hearing the bell of the locomotive ring out.

• Patent Description: This patent is for an electro-mechanically operated locomotive bell ringing apparatus which is mounted within a bell and attached to an existing bell striker. A switch on Engineers Console triggers a timer energizing a coil to move the striker against the bell. Found using PatentStorm [1].
