Filed: 1970-06-05
Abstract: 1318414 Electronic timepiece movements TIMEX CORP 5 June 1970 [8 July 1969] 27416/70 Heading G3T  In an electronically maintained mechanical oscillator arrangement in a watch a pin 41, Figs.2 and 5, on a disc 26 rotatable with a balance wheel 23, contacts a blade spring 22 for a predetermined period during each half cycle of oscillation of the wheel. Since the blade and pin 41 function as a switch, this causes the initiation of a pulse from a relaxation type transistor oscillator circuit, Fig.7, which pulse is applied to a coil 25 carried by the wheel. The circuit is arranged so that the pulse terminates before the blade and pin disengage. For instance as illustrated in Fig. 8 (not shown), the wheel may traverse an angle of 110 degrees while a pulse is applied to the coil only during 15 degrees of the wheel movement in both its clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. The coil cooperates with three permanent magnets 32 (33) (34) positioned on a bottom shunt 35 and having a top shunt 36; thereby to maintain the wheel oscillation. The disc 26 also carries a pin 27 which oscillates a fork (not shown). The fork rotates an index wheel coupled via a gear train to the watch hands. The electronic circuit is energized by a cell within the watch case. Instead of by three separate magnets, field poles may be formed on a single ceramic ferrite magnetic member or the fields may be created by coils electromagnetically.
