Patent GB-191209154-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Electrical Winding Gear for Clocks and the like.
Inventor: ARON LEONARD JAMES
IPC: G04C1/06
Filed: 1912-06-29
Granted: 1913-06-30
Abstract: 9154. Aron, L. J., and Wiener, C. June 29. Electric clocks.-In a clock of the kind driven by an electro-motor acting through a light mainspring, the current through the motor is automatically cut out at intervals, but the motor is so constructed that the momentum of its moving part keeps it running during these intervals. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the motor comprises a fly-wheel E, having a diametral iron bar F which passes between the poles of an electro. magnet G. The rotation of the wheel is kept up by impulses received from the electro-magnet when its circuit is closed by means of a make-andbreak switch K, K<1>. The switch is actuated by a double-toothed pawl J engaging with a ratchetwheel C gearing with a worm H or its equivalent on the motor-spindle. One end of the mainspring D is attached to the ratchet-wheel, and the other end drives the clock-train through an arbor B'. The outer turn of the mainspring passes between two pins on a spring-controlled piece C<1> slidably mounted in a radial slot in the ratchet-wheel, the part C<1> having teeth C<2> which are normally at the periphery of the wheel. As the ratchet-wheel C is rotated by the worm, winding-up the mainspring. the sliding piece C<1> is gradually drawn inwards by the outer coil of the spring, leaving a gap in the edge of the ratchet-wheel. When the gap reaches the worm H, the movement of the wheel ceases, and the switch K, K<1> is left open until, by the unwinding and consequent expansion of the mainspring, the piece C' is pushed outwards into engagement with the worm, and winding-up recommences. This action is repeated periodically, the motor continuing to run by virtue of the momentum of the wheel E during the periods when the ratchet-wheel is at rest. The armature F may be arranged slightly below the magnetpoles, so as to tend to lift the spindle E<1> from the foot-step bearing, and reduce the friction. The motor is started initially by a push-piece Q, which imparts a spin to the spindle E<1> and simultaneously closes a switch R. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the fly-wheel E is replaced by an oscillating wheel N, which is acted on by check-springs O, engaging with pins N' on the rim of the wheel, or by a coiled spring like a balance-spring. A pendulum or the like may be substituted for the fly-wheel or balance-wheel. The make-and-break switch may be actuated by a cam instead of the pawl J. In conjunction with the arrangements described, an auxiliary switch which serves to break the motor-circuit when the spring is fully wound may be employed, the motor being in this case self-starting ; or the spring may be arranged to slip when completely wound. If the clock has a striking-train, the second mainspring may be wound by means of the ratchet-wheel C or an additional ratchet-wheel.
