Patent number: 6510108Abstract: An electronic timepiece has a date wheel for undergoing rotation in accordance with movement of an indicator to change a display state of a date display, a 24 hour wheel driven to undergo one complete rotation each 24 hour period in accordance with movement of the indicator, and a contact spring connected to the 24 hour wheel for rotation therewith. A circuit board has first and second electrode patterns electrically connected to each other by the contact spring. A switching circuit changes a voltage level of the first electrode pattern to a first voltage level. A detector outputs an initializing signal corresponding to detection of termination of an operation for interchanging a battery of the electronic timepiece or for correcting time.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2001Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Seiko Instruments Inc.Inventor: Kenji Ogasawara

Patent number: 5392260Abstract: The date disc correction mechanism (3) of this time-piece comprises a control stem (7) movable between at least two axial positions, and on which a sliding pinion (9) and a correction pinion (17) are mounted. The sliding pinion exhibits at least one spur (28) provided in order to come into engagement with an opening (25) formed in the correction pinion in one of the axial positions of the stem (7) so as to render the correction pinion fixed in rotation with the sliding pinion (9).Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1994Date of Patent: February 21, 1995Assignee: Eta SA Fabriques d'EbauchesInventors: Wolfgang Kroener, Edwin Jakob

Patent number: 4274152Abstract: The setting mechanism of a watch includes a winding stem and a clutch wheel which can be moved selectively either rotationally or axially by said winding stem for control of one or more setting levers or wheels. The setting levers or wheels are disposed on the opposite side of said winding stem from the dial plate of the watch, thereby making it possible to center the winding stem in the thickness direction of the watch and to reduce the over-all thickness of the watch.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1979Date of Patent: June 16, 1981Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Suwa SeikoshaInventor: Toshimasa Ikegami
