Title: Improvements in the Electrical Regulation of Clocks.
Inventor: CHANDLER FREDERICK AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1905-02-08
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 2545. Chandler, F. A., and Bonniksen, B. Feb. 8. Electric clocks; regulators.-The effective length of the pendulum, if fast or slow, is varied, say once in twenty-four hours, by current from a masterclock. The invention is particularly applicable as a substitute for part of the apparatus described in Specification No. 22,858, A.D. 1903, in which a lever J is raised during the day and is attracted by an electro-magnet J<2> shortly before the moment for regulation, at which instant it is allowed to fall by cessation of the current. The bar D from which the pendulum is suspended, or the curbing-guide below it, rests upon an eccentric F attached to a ratchet-wheel G, which has the teeth on one-half in opposite directions to those on the other. Below this, a fork H jointed to the electro-magnetic lever J rests against a guiding stop-lever K, the position of which is determined by a cam L on the hour-arbor. Thus, when the electro-magnetic leverfalls, the fork turns the ratchet-wheel in one direction or the other if the clock is fast or slow, and so lengthens or shortens the pendulum. If the clock is correct, the fork is directed clear of both sides of the ratchet. The prong H<2> of the fork has a joint to yield to the spring M.
