Derek Mohr

A bell and hammer rotational device is shown and described. The bell and hammer rotational device includes a frame which is made up of at least two side walls. The frame has a spindle rotatably secured thereto. A rotational device is coupled to the spindle such that the spindle will rotate the rotational device, when the spindle is rotated. At least one bell is secured about a perimeter of the rotational device. A bell hammer is secured to the frame. The bell hammer is positioned such that it will strike the at least one bell, at least once, with each revolution of the rotational device.

A protective coating is applied to a bell body composed of bronze by simply dip-coating the bell with an outer layer of zinc. The process is carried out by immersing the bell body in a hot aqueous solution containing sodium hydroxide and powdered free zinc. After the bell is removed from the coating solution it is rinsed and then polished. The coating protects the bell from environmental contaminants without changing the frequency or musical quality of the bell and therefore may be used equally with newly manufactured or refurbished bells.
