Having Alarm Winding Arbor Patents (Class 368/258)
  • Patent number: 10789861
    Abstract: An identification locket having a novel construction and tracks extending the entire periphery of the exterior housing and being entirely embedded therein. The tracks form c-shaped channels in the side walls and being adapted to house at one guide ball and the guide being further characterized by a guide rope and bail being placed thereon. The guide ball is freely rotatable and is configured to rotate within the tracks. The side walls and the tracks have at least on mating projecting edge. The guide ball is configured to rotate within the track with backward or forward movements and the track is configured to rotate a plurality of the guide balls relative to each and wherein the guide rope freely rotates on the outside of the tracks.

  • Patent number: 9720377
    Abstract: A timepiece includes a representation of a non-rectilinear object, the representation particularly including a movable element kinematically connected to a drive mechanism. The representation also includes at least one second movable element, the drive mechanism being arranged such that the movable elements each move, simultaneously and in synchronization, between a first and a second end position, and vice versa, the movable elements forming the representation at a first size and at a second size greater than the first, respectively, when the movable elements are in the first and second end positions thereof.

  • Patent number: 4999821
    Abstract: A truck driver's wake-up device comprising a conventional mechanical alarm clock constructed from metal parts which are electrically conductive and having therein an alarm trip which moves in a predetermined path when an internal alarm system in the clock is actuated, a support for mounting the clock thereon, a high output buzzer capable of producing a loud alarm mounted on the support, the buzzer having first and second input leads for actuating the alarm when an input voltage of 8-16 volts DC is impsoed across the leads, a standard automotive cigarette lighter adapter having first and second outlet leads for providing approximately 12 volts DC output when the adapter is inserted into a standard cigarette lighter socket, the first output lead from the adapter being grounded to the clock, the second output lead from the adapter being connected to the second input lead to the buzzer, a non-conductive insulator plate connected to the clock adjacent the alarm trip, an electrically conductive spade connector atta

  • Patent number: 4213291
    Abstract: An alarm clock construction having a frame carrying time mechanism and a timer motor for driving the time mechanism, the time mechanism including an alarm setting member for selecting a predetermined time the clock construction is to sound an alarm. A reed member is pivotally carried by the frame to pivot on an intermediate pivot point thereon and is adapted to pivot to an alarm producing position when the time mechanism reaches the predetermined time. An on-off alarm member has a biasing part for acting on the reed member on one side of the pivot point to tend to bias the reed member to the alarm producing position when the on-off alarm member is in the "on" position thereof and for acting on the reed member on the other side of the pivot point to tend to bias the reed member out of the alarm producing position when the on-off alarm member is in the "off" position thereof.
