A COMBINED CLOCK CASE AND CABINET
Year: 1885

page_text: I JOHN HARRINGTON of the "Enamel and Cradle Spring Works" Coventry
in the County of Warwick, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the
said Invention for A COMBINED CLOCK CASE AND CABINET to be as follows:-
==
The invention has for its object the production of a combined clock case and
cabinet which is capable of being produced in highly ornamental forms and is more
especially intended for a clock combined with my improved chiming apparatus for
which I applied for provisional protection on the 28th October 1884 No 14270, but
is also applicable to ordinary "eight day" and other clocks requiring a case of
considerable vertical height for the accommodation of the weights and pendulum.
For this purpose I construct a cabinet of any desired design and of suitable
height. At the back of this cabinet I form a box or chamber extending from the
bottom thereof to a convenient height above the top. Within this box or chamber
I mount the clock work and the chiming apparatus. On the top of the cabinet and
in front of the upper part of the box or chamber containing the clockwork I place
a model of a tower, church or other structure or any desired ornamental frame or
construction carrying a clock face.
The motion spindle passes out of the front of the box or chamber and through
the model or other frame or construction to the front thereof and the minute and
hour hands are mounted as usual so as to indicate the time by travelling around
the clock face.

page_text: I JOHN HARRINGTON of the Enamel and Cradle Spring Works Coventry in
the County of Warwick, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The invention has for its object the production of a combined clock case and
cabinet which is capable of being produced in highly ornamental forms and is more
especially intended for a clock combined with my improved chiming apparatus for
which I have obtained Letters Patent dated the 28th October 1884 N° 14270 but
is also applicable to ordinary "eight day" and other clocks requiring a case of
considerable vertical height for the accommodation of the weights and pendulum.
For this purpose I construct a cabinet of any desired design and of suitable
height.
At the back of this cabinet I form a box or chamber extending from the bottom
thereof to a convenient height above the top.
Within this box or chamber I mount the clock work and the chiming apparatus.
On the top of the Cabinet and in front of the upper part of the box or chamber
containing the clockwork I place a model of a tower, church or other structure or
any desired ornamental frame or construction carrying a clock face.
The motion spindle passes out of the front of the box or chamber and through
the model or other frame or construction to the front thereof and the minute and
hour hands are mounted as usual so as to indicate the time by travelling around
the clock face.
And in order that my said invention may be more clearly understood and
readily carried into effect, I will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings
more fully to describe the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 represents a front elevation and Figure 2 a sectional side. elevation of a
chiming clock provided with the improved musical sounding apparatus for which
I obtained Letters Patent dated October 28th 1884 No. 14270 and mounted in a
combined clock case and cabinet constructed according to my present invention.
The clock frame is situate at a, and 6 represents my improved musical sounding
apparatus described in the specification of my aforesaid Patent.
b
For the purpose of providing a suitable case for a chiming clock of the character
above described, I according to my present invention construct a combined clock
case and cabinet which is capable of being produced in highly ornamental forms.
For this purpose I construct a cabinet c of any desired design and of any
suitable height.
At the back of this cabinet c I form a box or chamber c¹ extending from the
bottom thereof to a convenient height above the top.
Within the box or chamber c¹ I mount the clock-work a and the chiming
apparatus b as shown, or in other convenient manner.

page_text: On the top of the cabinet c and in front of the upper part of the box or
chamber c¹ containing the clockwork, I place a model d of a tower, church or
other structure or any desired ornamental frame or construction carrying a clock
face e.
The motion spindle a¹ passes out of the front of the box or chamber c¹ and
through the model d or other frame or construction to the front thereof and the
minute and hour hands are mounted, and operated as usual so as to indicate the
time by travelling around the clock face e.
I would here remark that the combined clock-case and cabinet herein described
may be also employed for "eight day" and other clocks requiring a case of con-
siderable vertical height for the accommodation of the weights and pendulum.
Having now particularily described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what. manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The employment for the accommodation of a chiming clock of the character
herein referred to, or of other clocks requiring a case of considerable vertical
height, of a combined cabinet c and box or chamber c¹ with, or without a model or
other structure & provided with a clock face substantially as herein shown and
described.
