Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 27,355. Falk, M. Nov. 24. Electric clocks.-In a clock of the kind in which a weighted arm which drives the clocktrain through ratchet - gearing is periodically raised by means of the oscillating armature cf an electro-magnet, the switch that makes and breaks the circuit of the magnet consists of a loosely-mounted conducting-disk coacting with a fixed contact-spring, one of these members having an insulating-face. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement in which the disk l, loose on the arbor g, bears a pin p which normally rests against the insulating-surface g of the contactspring o. When the weighted arm f reaches its lowest position, a pin f<1> thereon strikes a projecting arm n fixed to the disk, which is thereby turned so that the pin p slips on to the conducting-portion of the spring o. The circuit of the electro-magnet is thus closed, and, as the armature c is turned, the weighted arm is thrown up. During its upward motion, the pin f<1> meets a second projecting arm m, and the disk l is again turned, so as to break the circuit. The electro-magnet has a shunt coil r to prevent sparking. Modifications are described, in which the disk l is triangular, the contact - spring having a triangular head which bears directly against the edge of the disk; one face of either the disk or the head of the spring is non-conducting. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 82/95 and 14,235/99.
