Complete Specification Left, 23rd Oct., 1891-Accepted, 12th Dec.; 1891
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Spring Motors.
TOM WALKER, Engineer, No. 1 Buckley Street Green Road Leeds Yorkshire
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Being a spring marked in drawing A A Fig. 1 and 2 contained in a cylinder or
box marked in drawing B. B. the shaft C to which the end of the spring is fastened
by screws or pins revolves freely in the box the other end of spring is fastened to
the box itself.
On the side and part of the box is a toothed wheel marked D actuating a pinion E
which drives any arrangement of clock work.
At the opposite side of the spring box is a loose toothed wheel marked F on
drawing actuating a pinion G also driving any arrangement of clock work.
At the side of this wheel F is a ratchet wheel marked H revolving with and
keyed to shaft C. On wheel F is fastened a catch marked J gearing into ratchet
wheel and kept in gear by means of a small spring marked K.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is-
That I actuate two or more arrangements of clock work by means of one and the
same spring and box combined.

On the side of and part of the box is a toothed wheel marked D actuating a
pinion E which drives any arrangement of automatic machinery or clock work.
On the opposite side of the spring box is another toothed wheel marked on
drawing F which is loose on shaft C actuating a pinion G also driving any arrange-
ment of automatic machinery or clock work which signifies machinery driven by an
invisible spring contained in box B. B.
On the side of this wheel F is a ratchet wheel marked H revolving with and
keyed to shaft C on wheel F is fastened a catch marked J gearing into ratchet
wheel and kept in gear by means of a small spring marked K in drawing.
The method of winding up the machine is by means of a loose handle or key
placed on the squared end of shaft C and turning from right to left.
