A knocker<\/strong> is a metallic piece<\/strong> that is installed in a door<\/strong> in order to to call<\/strong>. In this way, if an individual wants to notify that he has arrived at the entrance of the home<\/strong>, you can take the knocker and hit with it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Knocker\"The term is used synonymously with knocker<\/strong>, which comes from the Hispanic Arabic a\u1e0d\u1e0dabba<\/em>. This word in turn derives from classical Arabic \u1e0dabbah<\/em>, translated as \"Lizard\"<\/strong>. This is because, in their beginnings, the knockers or knockers were shaped like reptile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The knockers, in short, are callers<\/strong>. When placed on an exterior door of a house, they allow the occupants to be called through hits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These elements emerged in the Middle Ages<\/strong>. The simplest were hoops<\/strong> or rings<\/strong> made of iron, often linked to a head<\/strong> made of bronze.<\/p>\n

The heads of the knockers used to be of mythological creatures such as chimeras<\/strong>, dragons<\/strong> or taps<\/strong>. However, they could also represent animals, the most frequent being Lion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is possible to find knockers in castles<\/strong>, churches<\/strong> Y stately homes<\/strong> of ancient origin. Anyway, since the rise of the doorbells<\/strong>, its usefulness decreased.<\/p>\n

Another meaning of door knocker recognized by the Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (RAE<\/strong>) in your dictionary refers to a oversized handle<\/strong>. These knockers can be part of a trunk, a drawer, a chest or other similar container.<\/p>\n

Knocker<\/strong>Finally, it is the name of an association of mothers and fathers of people with disability<\/strong> which is based in Puertollano<\/strong> (Spain<\/strong>). Its purpose is to assist children with different disabilities and accompany their families.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
