  • Patent number: 4300221
    Abstract: An electronic timepiece suitable for use as a worldtime clock having a main display section adapted to perform a display of the particular time selected from among a plurality of kinds of time and a sub-display section adapted to perform a display of another time selected from among the other kinds of time than that displayed in the main display section. Means are provided for selective setting and correction all of the times.

  • Patent number: 4244042
    Abstract: An alarm timepiece operates such that after an acoustic alarm generated at a preset alarm time has been stopped, the alarm timepiece is automatically so set as to regenerate the acoustic alarm at the next preset alarm time. The generation of the acoustic alarm is compulsorily stopped during the adjusting of time, and when the acoustic alarm is stopped by manipulating a manual switch for suspension, the acoustic alarm is regenerated after a predetermined time has elapsed. When the acoustic alarm is generated for a predetermined time without being stopped by means of a manual switch, it is automatically stopped.

  • Patent number: 4218871
    Abstract: An electronic timer includes a presettable counter for continuously counting clock pulses and which is controlled to selectively count to a desired time count and to continuously count from that desired time count. A storage device stores, upon actuation, a time count counted by the presettable counter. A detection output is produced when the presettable counter has completed the counting from the desired time count therein to a given time count. An alarm is generated in response to the detection output and is thereafter stopped. In response to the stopping of the alarm, the presettable counter is preset with the time count stored in the storage device. In this way the presettable counter is automatically set to an initial time count to enable repeated use without complication.

  • Patent number: 4211067
    Abstract: A time adjusting device for an electronic timepiece utilizes a manually rotatable mechanism which generates pulses corresponding in frequency and number with the speed and extent of rotation thereof. Each pulse which is generated is thereafter converted into a plurality of pulses. A manually actuatable switch applies either the normal periodic time pulses to a time counter or the plurality of pulses to the time counter upon actuation to adjust the time count therein.

  • Patent number: 4209975
    Abstract: Time adjusting means for electronic timepiece which detects change in the generation condition of pulses generated in response to a manual operation speed and generates a predetermined number of pulses in accordance with the detection output as the time-adjusting pulses. The time adjusting means enables a rapid time adjustment of an electronic timepiece at a high speed. When the manual operation speed exceeds a predetermined speed, the time adjusting means stops the time-adjusting pulse so as to prevent erroneous operation.
