MUSECAL SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 3%6,812, dated August Application filed August 5, 1885.

.T 0 aZZ whom it may concern.-

.Ee it known that I, ELLA N. GAILLARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Musical W'atches, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of an improved coir trivance for the combination of a watch dial and hands with the mechanism ofamusicbox, whereby the turning of the hands will be effected by the action of a inusictrain for a simple and cheap imitation musical watch, all as hereinafter fully described, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the device with the dial and hands removed and the case and stem sectioned. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the device on line :0 w, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a face view. I

I arrange the mechanism of a common music-box in a case, a I), resembling a watch-case, and having a watclrdial face, 0, and hands (Z 0, also having a hollow stem, and ring i2. and I fit the shaft i of the winding mechanism of the music apparatus through the hollow stem 1 in the manner of the winding-gear of astem-, winding watch.

To the music mechanism, which consists of the driving-spring j, ratchet 7;, driving-trnin in, pin-barrel m, comb 71, fan-driving train 0, and regulating-fanp, ofapproved contrivance, I gear the hands d 0 by means of a large pulley, g, and belt connected with the hour-hand and the small pulley s and belt connected with the minute-hand, which belts run on the short shaft 1, gearing by the worm-wheel a WATCH.

Serial No. 173,668. (No model.)

with the worm c on the shaft '20, which gears with the train 0 of the fan-regulator with the powertrain m of the music apparatus, thus making a simple device representing a musical watch for the amusement of children.

For the belts I propose to employ flexible rubber bands, that will hug the pulleys and shaft, so as to avoid slipping, and at the same time will'be sufficiently light and flexible for the purpose.

The pulleys q and swill be suitably propou tioned for the required differential motions of the minute and hour hands.

I claim as my invention- 1. The improved combined musicbox and watch, consisting of the music apparatus inclosed in a watch-case having dial 0 and hands (Z c, the hands being differentially geared with the music-driving train by the shaft 2, bolts and pulleys g s, and the wornrgear a 2, substautially as described.

2. The improved combined music-box and watch, consisting of the music apparatus inclosed in a watclrcase having dial 0, hands d c, and hollow stem the windingshaft of the music mcclntnism being arranged in said hollow stem, and the hands being geared with the music-driving train by the shaft 15. belts and pulley. 11s, and the worm-gear ii 1:, substantially as described.

In witness whereofl have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
