Abstract

1424044 Alarm watches CITIZEN WATCH CO Ltd 30 March 1973 [5 April 1972 15 June 1972 (2) 24 Feb 1973] 15352/73 Heading G3T [Also in Division G5] An alarm watch includes a magnetic record/ playback arrangement permitting reproduction of a recorded message at a pre-set time. As shown the recording is made on an annular body 23 but an alternative arrangement is described Figs. 15-19 (not shown) which uses a loop of tape (208). The body 23 is driven by a spring barrel 16 which is coupled to a ratchet wheel 21 and thus wound by operation of a playback button 7 and a record button 6. The drive is via gears 27-31 and the speed is controlled by a magnetic governor 10, 11. To record, button 6 must be depressed after button 7, thus ensuring adequate winding of the barrel for playback also, and bringing an erase head (9), Figs. 3 and 9A, B (not shown) into contact with the body 23. A changeover switch Fig. 10 (not shown) is also actuated in record/playback circuitry 14 so that a loud-speaker (1), Fig. 2 (not shown) in a housing attached to the watch case functions as a microphone. The circuitry is powered by a cell 13 which also drives the watch movement. After one revolution, the magnetic body 23 is stopped, ready for playback, by a lever 43, Fig. 7, dropping into a notch in a plate 41 coupled to the body. Playback is possible at any time by depression of button 7, or the alarm mechanism may be inactivated by pulling out the button. Setting of the alarm time is performed by a stem 5 which is pulled out and rotated to turn an alarm set cannon 19 having lugs 19' relative to an hour cannon 20 with apertures 20'. The stem 5 is then pushed fully inwards to position a trigger lever 51. On initation of the alarm, the playback amplifier is caused to oscillate for a short period to provide an alarm signal from the loud-speaker, followed by the recorded message.
