    摘要: The place shift-up mechanism of a digital clock comprises ratchet feed mechanism which permits manual setting of the clock even during the shift-up operation. The ratchet feed mechanism comprises an eccentric cam secured to a rotary shaft which also carries an eccentric operation pin. A ratchet wheel is rotatably supported by the shaft. A place shift-up lever is supported so as to be capable of rocking and sliding movement and has a forked leg plate with spaced legs receiving the eccentric cam between them. One leg of the forked leg plate has a feed pawl for engagement with the ratchet wheel and also a hook pawl engageable by the operation pin to move the place shift-up lever in one direction. The other leg of the forked leg plate has a return pawl which is engageable by the operation pin to move the plate shift-up lever in an opposite direction. The place shift-up lever is rocked by the eccentric cam and is moved by the operation pin first in one direction and then in the other to cause the feed pawl to engage the ratchet wheel to advance it one tooth for each revolution of the rotary shaft.

    摘要: An operation member slidably supported on a base plate has opposed pawls which are spaced apart and project toward one another. A position control cam and an integral supplementary cam are rotatably supported on the base between the two pawls. The pawls are disposed on different planes so that a first pawl is engageable with the control cam and the second pawl is engageable with the supplementary cam. The operation member is spring biased in a direction to move the first pawl toward the position control cam. The position control cam is provided alternately with deep concaves and shallow concaves. When the first pawl of the operation member engages in a deep concave it is in one position. When it engages a shallow concave it is in a second position. The supplementary cam has teeth at positions corresponding to the concaves of the position control cam. When the operation member is slidably moved in a direction opposite to the spring bias, the second pawl engages a tooth of the supplementary cam so as to rotate the supplementary cam and the position control cam to a new position. For example starting with the first pawl in a deep concave, sliding the operation member against the bias spring causes the second pawl to engage a tooth of the supplementary cam and thereby rotate the cams so that when the operation member is released the first pawl engages in a shallow concave of the position control cam and the operation member is thus in a different position.

    摘要: A simulated pendulum clock has a pendulum which rocks to and fro for decorative purposes only thereby simulating a pendulum clock of the type having a rocking pendulum for timekeeping purposes. A transmission wheel is rotationally driven by the timepiece movement of the clock and a friction clutch mechanism transmits the rotational movement of the transmission wheel to a rotating member whenever the load on the rotating member is less than a predetermined value and otherwise enables slipping of the transmission wheel relative to the rotating member. A toothed escape wheel is coaxially mounted with the rotating member and is connected thereto through a coil spring which applies a rotating torque to the escape wheel. The teeth of the escape wheel coact with a pair of pallet pins of a pallet which is mounted to undergo rocking movement in response to alternative engagement and disengagement of the pallet pins with the escape wheel teeth. A pendulum is fixedly secured at one end to the clock case and hangs downwardly therefrom in juxtaposition with the pallet, the pendulum being connected to the lower end of the pallet so as to transmit the rocking movement of the pallet into a rocking two-and-fro movement of the pendulum thereby simulating a pendulum clock.
