Abstract
Abstract A device for animals to signal aid which includes a flat base member on which is mounted a hanger arm which overlies the base. A bell mount is pivotally mounted on the outer free end of the arm with a clapper bell secured thereto and an activator pad is secured to the bell mount obliquely disposed to the vertical when the base is horizontal. The activator pad is of a color which is lighter with respect to the color of the base and hanger arm so that it makes it prominent and easy for the animal to identify. When the activator pad is pivotally depressed the bell is caused to ring.
