Abstract:
1. A date display assembly for an electronic device, the assembly comprising: a motor and a first gear assembly operatively coupled thereto, wherein the gear assembly comprises at least one rotating gear and the motor causes the rotation of the first gear assembly; a ones date ring assembly comprising: a tens date disc assembly comprising: a display area that selectively displays one date ring numeral from the ones date ring and one date disc numeral from the tens date disc; wherein when the first gear assembly rotates the ones date ring to cause the ones date ring numeral displayed in the display area to change between the 9 and 0 numerals, the finger engages a leg of the driving star while one of the legs of the blocking star previously blocked from rotation by the inner circumferential surface is received in the recess, thereby (i) forcing the rotation of the driving star in one of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions and (ii) simultaneously permitting the rotation of the blocking star in the same direction as the rotation of the driving star; whereby (i) the tens date disc rotates by at least essentially 90° each time the ones date ring is rotated by at least essentially 360° and (ii) the tens date disc cannot rotate until the numeral on the ones date ring in the display area is changing between the 9 and 0 numerals.
