  • Friction coupling for clockworks
    Patent number: 4737943
    Abstract: A clockwork having a decorative torsion pendulum and a star wheel connected to a drive shaft of the clockworks by a friction coupling wherein a follower needle connected to the torsion spring of the torsion pendulum crosses the path traveled by the spokes of the star wheel and is driven thereby in an intermittent manner.
