Abstract: An electrical swing mechanism having a drive device with a rotor and a stator. The drive device carries out self-returning reciprocation with a rotation angle of the rotor. An intermittent drive transmission device transmits the rotation of the drive device to a utilization mechanism. An electric source unit is used for exciting the stator with a pulse current. The drive device has a rotor which is magnetized so that the same poles are formed on a diametral line intersecting the rotation axis thereof and a magnetization angle between different poles is 2 .alpha., and a stator whose magnetic pole angle .beta. is larger than said magnetization angle 2 .alpha.. The intermittent drive transmission device comprises a cut disk member having a ratchet pawl and is reciprocated by the drive device. A ratchet plate member having ratchet teeth are moved one pitch by one pitch by the ratchet pawl.

Abstract: A security device for a fuel such as natural gas having a series circuit of a relay switch, a hazard detecting switch, a relay switch operating coil and a timer. A valve coil is adapted to open and close a main fuel supply valve. The valve coil is connected in parallel to the series circuit. A reset switch is adapted to excite the valve coil and is connected in parallel with the relay switch. In one embodiment, the hazard detecting switch, the relay switch operating coil and the valve coil are coupled through a transformer in series with an electric source. The hazard detecting switch the relay switch operating coil and the valve coil are disposed on a secondary side of the transformer. The main fuel supply valve is normally closed such that in case of a power failure, the valve will close and remain closed.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve circuit used in a fluid line security device is disclosed. The circuit is adapted to open and close a fuel supply pipe. The circuit includes an attracting circuit and a holding circuit connected to one side of a power source. The attracting circuit including an attracting switch is in parallel with the attraction holding circuit. The attracting switch is closed only when the attraction phase of value opening is to be accomplished. In one modification the series circuit of the attracting switch and the electromagnetic valve circuit is coupled in parallel to a circuit formed by a hazard detecting switch, and a relay switch operating coil. In another modification a time limit current control is connected in series with the valve coil to control the supply of current to the coil for a predetermined time limit.

Abstract: The electric motor in a digital time piece is driven in accordance with a pulse width modulated signal by supplying the signal first to a logic circuit together with the output signal from a switch which is periodically opened and closed as the motor rotates. Application of a pulse to the logic circuit begins motor rotation which does not stop until the switch is tripped.

Abstract: The digital clock includes a switch which undergoes a first operation at a first time and a second operation, representing a resetting operation, at a second time, the first and the second time being preset on a timer of the digital clock by utilizing a conventional clock mechanism contained in the digital clock. A manually operable device is provided for enabling a manual operation of the switch prior to the occurrence of the first and the second times. Additionally, a device is provided which is operable, responsive to the occurrence of the first time, for resetting the condition of the switch resulting from any manual operation thereof and for disabling a further manual operation thereof, so as to cause the switch to operate in accordance with the time schedule determined by the timer.
