Abstract

See full text

The automated wind chime comprises a housing and a wobble arm. The housing may be suspended from a clapper of a wind chime. A motor within the housing may rotate the wobble arm when energized. The wobble arm may be unbalanced such that rotation of the wobble arm causes the housing to sway in an erratic pattern. Moving the housing in the erratic pattern may cause the clapper to strike a plurality of percussion targets within the wind chime thus producing chime music even in the absence of wind. The housing may have a novelty appearance. As non-limiting examples, the housing may be shaped like a duck, turkey, Easter bunny, Santa Claus, musical note, or flower.
