Abstract

A bell with silencing and or sound dampening mechanism is disclosed. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the disclosed bell comprises a bell, a clamp body attaching to the bell, a lever installed on the clamp body and is configured to be slidable on the clamp body, a clapper and a cable connecting the lever at one end and the clapper at other end. When the lever is moved in a direction away from the bell, the clapper is retracted into the head of the bell and becomes stationary, preventing the clapper to contact the body of the bell.
