Michael Sporrer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Abstract: The invention relates to a clock comprising a clock face with hands and clockwork elements. Said clock face comprises a non-rotationally symmetric surface in the direction of rotation of the hands. The inner ends of the hands are rotatably mounted in a displaceable manner around a pivoting axis which extends in a peripheral manner with respect to the peripheral rotational axis of the hands and in a perpendicular manner with respect to the longitudinal axis of the hands. A control element is provided, enabling the hands to be pivoted in such a way that they can be displaced at an equal distance from the surface of the clock face as they go round.
