History
The ringing mechanism, as this bell is also known, came about with the invention of the railway: As a clearly distinguishable acoustic signal, it was intended to warn of danger and, above all, attract attention. For over a century, it was the standard doorbell used in houses and flats. The ringing mechanism - an electromechanical bell principle
The sound of this doorbell is produced in the classic way by a clapper that mechanically strikes the bell in rapid succession. This clapper strike is set in motion by an interrupter circuit in the manner of Wagner's hammer: The armature mounted on a steel spring is attracted by an electromagnet (Which causes the clapper to strike) until it interrupts the circuit at maximum attraction and snaps back. This closes the circuit again and the armature is again attracted by the electromagnet - the game starts all over again and the bell rings!
