Title: Electronic timepieces
IPC: G04G9/08
Filed: 1972-03-07
Abstract: 1355161 Electronic timepieces SUWA SEIKOSHA KK 7 March 1972 [8 March 1971] 10530/72 Heading G3T An electronic timepiece functions to indicate selectively on interrogation either the time of day or elapsed time (chronograph) on the same numeric four-digit display unit (liquid crystal or light-emitting diodes). From the 100 HZ output of a frequency divider counter 1, derived from a crystal controlled oscillator X in a conventional manner, frequency divider counters 2 to 5 produce time of day (secs, mins, hours and 24 hour day) signals B1 to B4 to a coder 10. Likewise f dividers 6 to 9 produce chronograph signals A1 to A4. Selector switching in the coder 10 selects either set of signals depending upon, whether a switch S1 is open or closed. The coder outputs C1 to C4 are fed to a memorizing register 11 to which shift pulses are applied from counter 1 via a NOR gate G. When a switch S2 is closed the shift pulses are cut-off and the contents of the register 11 are memorized. Depending upon whether a switch S3 is open or closed a gate 12 selects either signals C3, C4 (time period down to 1 min.) or C2, C1 (secs, 0À1 secs, 0À01 secs), to pass to a decoder 13. The decoder drives the numeric display 14 each digit of which is formed by selective energization of its 7 - elements in a known manner. Provision may also, be made to display the date on the same display unit. Integrated circuit techniques using M.O.S. elements may be employed, to make the timepiece suitable as a wrist-watch.

A vacuum cleaner comprises a casing element 11, Fig. 3, a removable dust bag 21 mounted in the casing, a cover element 13 and a latch 50 pivoted at 52 which engages a keeper 51 secured to the casing 11. Means are provided to hold the latch in the unlatched position when the cover is open and to retain the latch in the unlatched position if the cover is closed when a dust bag has not been fitted. The latch 50 is formed with a lug 60 on which is mounted a push button 62, and a depending arm 63 provided with a tab 64 at right angles to the plane of the arm. A hair spring 56 is coiled round the pivot 52, its free end 58 engaging a stop 59 while one leg 57 engages the latch 52 to bias it to its closed position while a second leg 78 engages a bar 68 biasing it towards the right as viewed in the Figure. The bar 68, Fig. 4, is formed with spaced legs 69, 70 slidable in slots 71, 72 formed in a boss on the cover while the other end is formed by two stepped portions 74, 75. The stepped portion 74 allows the release of the tab 64 when the bar is moved to the left and the portion 75 extends through a slot in a cover 43 and engages the flange 32 of the dust bag to cause the movement of the bar to the left. If the dust bag is omitted the bar will not be moved to the left and the latch will be held in the unlatched position. The dust bag 21, Fig. 3, has edges 32 adhesively secured to a front plate 33 of cardboard which seats on a sealing gasket 34. The plate 33 is provided with a central opening closed by a thin resilient membrane 39 having a slit which allows insertion of an inlet tube 42 when the cover is closed. The arm 63 of the latch is attached to a diaphragm which is subjected to the pressure in the casing 11 such that when the dust bag is full the reduction in pressure in the casing moves the latch to its unlatched position. Such a diaphragm 102 arranged with a modified form of latch is shown in Fig. 13, where the latch 50 is moved to the unlatched position by a member 101 when the pressure in the chamber 103, connected by a pipe 105 to the casing 11, is reduced. The latch 50 is provided with hole 87 formed with sections 88, 89 connected by a section 90. A plunger member 91 loaded by bellows 93 engages the hole and when the cover is removed the plunger engages the section 89 to hold the latch in its unlatched position. On closing the cover the plunger engages the dust bag to allow the latch 50 to move to its latching position. Specification 810,369 is referred to.
