Patent number: 4089156Abstract: A stop watch device has a time-counting circuit which is caused to count time by clock pulses from an oscillator and the count value of which is displayed on the display section. The time-counting circuit starts counting time in response to a time-count start instruction which is produced by operating a switching device. It stops counting time when the switching device is operated again at any time after the first operation. The stop watch device is further provided with a control circuit. The control circuit allows the time-counting circuit in its rest state to start counting time again in addition to the time already counted, when the switching device is operated again. It clears the count value of the time-counting circuit when the switching device is operated twice consecutively in a short time, either during the non-counting period of the time-counting circuit or during the counting period thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1976Date of Patent: May 16, 1978Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventor: Toshio Kashio

Patent number: 4039067Abstract: A printing device employs a printing drum on the peripheral wall of which a plurality of character type are arranged in the axial direction and in the circumferential direction. The axial movement and rotation of the drum are independently controlled by comparing the position of a new character type on the drum to be printed with that of the immediately preceding one of already printed character type thereon at each printing step in response to electric printing information. A hammer is disposed close to the outer periphery of the drum. The hammer advances step by step in printing in the axial direction of the drum independently of the drum to determine the printing position with respect to a record sheet and selectively strikes the opposed surface of the drum through the record sheet. The printing device can thus attain a mechanical driving system for the drum and hammer which has the simplest construction, the least probability of trouble, and a highest possible printing speed with ease.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1975Date of Patent: August 2, 1977Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventor: Toshio Kashio
