Abstract: A single phase stepping motor, particularly for clocks, with a rotor having several pole teeth and a stator, the latter being made of two stator parts connected with one another via a bridge part, the latter carrying the excitation winding, of which each stator part on its free end has an equal or smaller number (in comparison to the rotor pole number) of stator pole teeth as well as a passage opening for the rotor shaft, the stator pole teeth being directed towards the face sides of the rotor. Each rotor pole tooth comprises a main pole and an auxiliary pole extending in the direction of rotation formed on the main pole, and between the stator pole teeth, a permanent magnetic circuit is provided, by means of which circuit the rest position of the rotor is determined during the unexcited stator condition.

Abstract: A battery-driven clock with a timing stage which emits a control signal of a certain frequency to an electromechanical or electronic indicator stage, and a warning stage establishing the end of the service life of the battery. In the warning situation the warning stage influences the frequency of the control signal in the sense of advancing the clock.

Abstract: A single phase stepping motor, particularly for clocks, having a disc-like axially magnetized rotor with a number of rotor poles and a stator, which stator is made of at least two stator parts connected with one another via a bridge part carrying the excitation winding. Each stator part on its free end has a smaller number (in comparison to the number of rotor poles) of stator poles, the latter being directed toward the face side of the rotor. In the rest condition of the rotor, a rotor pole with its main part is disposed in the range of a stator pole and with an edge part in the range of the following stator pole.

Abstract: Electric clock with an oscillator, particularly a quartz oscillator, a frequency divider connected to the quartz oscillator and a control stage connected following the frequency divider, via which control stage a stepping motor, which stepping motor is coupled with the dial train, is able to be applied with pulses of the same or alternating polarity. Each pulse is formed from a number of individual pulses, the pulse duty cycle of the individual pulses reducing toward the end of the first mentioned pulses.

Abstract: A single phase stepping motor, particularly for clocks, with a disclike, axially magnetized rotor with a number of poles and a stator, the latter being made of two stator parts connected with one another via a bridge part, the latter carrying the excitation winding, of which each stator part has on its free end a smaller number (in comparison to the rotor pole number) of main poles with auxiliary poles attached thereon as well as a passage opening for the rotor shaft, the main poles being staggered relative to one another by the same angle, the main poles being directed towards the face sides of the rotor. The main poles and the auxiliary poles which are coordinated to a stator part form an integral unit made of sheet metal with this stator part.

Abstract: A single phase stepping motor, particularly for clocks, with a rotor having several pole teeth and a stator, the latter being made of two stator parts connected with one another via a bridge part, the latter carrying the excitation winding, of which each stator part on its free end transfers into an equal or smaller number (in comparison to half the rotor pole number) of stator pole teeth, the stator pole teeth being directed towards the face side of the rotor. Both stator parts are arranged in a first plane at least in the region of the stator pole teeth and the rotor rotates in a second plane parallel thereto. The pole teeth of the rotor each comprises a main pole and an auxiliary pole, the latter extending in the direction of rotation and formed on the main pole, and between the stator pole teeth, there is provided a permanent magnetic circuit, by means of which circuit the rest position of the rotor is determined during the unexcited condition of the stator.

Abstract: A single phase stepping motor, particularly for clocks, with a multi-polar rotor and a multi-part stator, the latter carrying two excitation coils and on its free ends having stator pole teeth which are directed toward the rotor face side as well as a passage opening for the rotor shaft. The stator includes four parts, each of which has the same number of poles with the same distribution, and respectively two are connected with each other on their non-pole ends across one bridge part, the latter carrying one excitation winding. Both of the excitation windings are connected in series.

Each counter of the alarm system constitutes a forward-rearward-counter, and switches are provided for selection of the counting direction.

Abstract: A method and system for testing the accuracy of the oscillators of electronic clocks includes transforming a frequency signal corresponding to the output of a clock oscillator into a non-sinusoidal signal having the same frequency as the frequency signal and filtering the non-sinusoidal signal to pass a component of the non-sinusoidal signal having a frequency associated with a reference frequency to be compared with the signal passed by the filter such that clock oscillators operating at various frequencies of which the reference frequency is an integral multiple can be tested since the non-sinusoidal signal, which is preferably a sawtooth signal, contains harmonic components corresponding to the reference frequency.
