摘要： A wristwatch has a plurality of light emitting digital readout elements which are located along one end of the watch above the watchband. A hermetically sealed time capsule is enclosed within the watch case and includes an integrated circuit chip which divides the frequency output of a battery powered quartz crystal oscillator into a series of pulses which are counted and selectively interrogated to provide a series of electrical outputs corresponding to seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years. The time capsule includes sealed control switches which are actuated by magnets slidably mounted on the case and which provide for selecting different outputs for visual display on the readout elements, corresponding to either hours and minutes, month and day or seconds. The electronic circuitry automatically compensates for twenty-eight, thirty and thirty-one day months as well as for leap years, and the readout may be selected for repetitive twelve hours or twenty-four hour display. When the twelve hour readout is selected, the AM/PM indicating light is energized when the hours and minutes readout is selected. A solar cell is positioned on the top surface of the watch case and functions to control the intensity of the readout elements according to the intensity of ambient light, as well as to recharge the batteries. The control switches also provide for setting the watch by either changing the minutes output while holding the seconds output at zero, or by changing the hours output without changing the minutes, seconds and days outputs, or by changing the days output without changing the second, minutes, hours and months outputs.

摘要： A clock setting mechanism for automatically and instantaneously shifting the hour hands of clocks forward or backward by a predetermined amount such as an hour for the purpose of complying with semi-annual changes between ''''Standard Time'''' and ''''Daylight Saving Time.'''' In addition to the conventional clock drive mechanism including the friction drive which moves the hour hand, the clock is provided with power-operated driver members which normally are out of engagement with the hour hand assemblage. The hour hand normally turns in the conventional manner. When it is desired to advance or to set back the clock, this being done from a two o''clock (usually A.M.) position, the hour hand is engaged by one of the driver members, utilizing electromagnets and a remote switching control for this purpose, to effect a 1-hour, forward or backward adjustment as required by Daylight or Standard Time.

摘要： A multi-signal desktop digital displayer that can selectively display digital signals created from digital utilities such as a clock, timer, alarm, or thermometer by rotating a large artistically designed disc. The multi-signal displayer has a housing to encase electric circuitry, a disc rotatably mounted on the front face of the housing and a display screen. The disc is configured to selectively activate different digital utilities one by one as it rotates by a preset degrees of an angle to display the digital signal generated therefrom one by one. In the preferred embodiment, the displayer is also configured to reverse the shades of display, for each digital signal, as the disk rotates, that is, from bright background to dark background and from dark image to bright image.

摘要： A timepiece button structure has a base having a first cavity, a first button member, a second button member having a second cavity part, first and second urging members, and first and second movement-limiting members. The second button member is disposed to protrude from and recede into the first cavity part with the second urging member urging the second button member in the direction protruding from the first cavity part and the second movement-limiting member limiting movement in the protrusion direction. The first button member is disposed to protrude from and recede into the second cavity part with the first urging member urging the first button member in the direction protruding from the second cavity part and the first movement-limiting member limiting movement in the protrusion direction. The first button member moves alone in the receding direction until the first button member contacts the second button member when the first button member is pushed against the urging force of the first urging member in the direction receding into the second cavity part, and the first and second button members move together in the receding direction when the first button member is pushed further against the urging force of the first and second urging members in the direction receding into the first cavity part after the first button member contacts the second button member.
