I’ve never seen one of these bells before so can’t tell you the English. Sounds like it could be very annoying to have a bell that is semi-permanently on. An interesting invention all the same – wonder what the idea behind it was?
That’s not an electric cable, but a pull-cable in a bowden, as far as I can see. The bell is not permanently on, only when the rider pulls the lever on the handlebars. The idea is that the bell is very loud and can sound continuously as long as you keep the control lever “ON”.
You are right, the wheel will be pressed at the tire only when the string is pulled.
The sound, and the noise (nearly) are similar to the bell of a tram.
I have a “siren” that sounds like angry birds tweeting at 110dB. I have a hard time powering it because it runs on 12VDC and They stopped making those tiny 12V SLA batteries, or at least those batteries are no longer readily available. I used to have headlights and tail lights that ran on a SLA battery about the size of two decks of playing cards. I was very proud of the setup. There was a combination tail/brake light that used to fit into a hitch receiver when it wasn’t towing a trailer and the battery would fit right in after taking one side off the box section that fit into the trailer hitch. The control switch would fit nicely on the side of the battery holder and from there the wires would run to the headlight made from a LED landscaping spotlight and the microswitch tied into the brake system for the brake light, and the push button for the angry bird “horn”. All of the parts are now out of production except the microswitch and the push button.
Opus, look into a “3S” LiPo battery, like they sell for hobby grade radio control models. They come in different sizes. (both capacity and physical size) They’re rated at 11.1 volts, but at full charge they’re about 12 volts. You might be able to find one that works for you.
Don’t startle black and white kitty cats.

What is the english expresion for these Bells run by the tire, just like a old dynamo?

Put it on permanently and you will not see a skunk from far 😉
I don’t know but I’ve found christmas jingle bells to do much the same thing strapped to handlebars =3

With an electric cable seemingly coming from it, ‘dynamo’ is probably still correct.

I had a chain pull siren on my bike as a kid that rubbed on the tire and sounded more like an air raid siren.
