Upward flowing water through a riser from a reservoir excites a freely suspended striker displacing it from its gravitational resting position to make chaotic contact with encircling resonating elements attached to a mounting plate in order to produce tones of random sequence and degree. The upward water flow is generated by a pump submerged in the water reservoir that is replenished by the gravity flow of water returning through an aperture in the mounting plate. The striker is freely suspended from a frame assembly including a means to raise or lower the striker in relation to the upward water flow, so that raising or lowering the striker decreases or increases respectively the production of tones or random sequence and degree. The preferred striker is spherical and the preferred resonating elements are chimes included in a housing forming a resonating chamber.
An underwater chime and method of use thereof, wherein the underwater chime functions to enhance the pacifying effect of any swimming pool, whirlpool, jet tub and/or spa environment by effectively transmitting soothing, relaxing and meditative chimes/sound waves throughout the aquatic medium.
An improved fishing lure which produces, transmits and modulates high frequency vibrations. The high frequency tone wire vibration is actuated upon impact of a striker against the wall of an essentially watertight housing. As the striker oscillates within the housing, high frequency vibrations and sound waves emanate from the tone wire. This invention also includes a noisemaker component specifically designed using a tone wire and a striker which can be incorporated into existing fishing lures.
