pawl 42 the teeth of winding pulley 100 to reach teeth 102, i04, and 106 which set the ^{time at 187Vs 0} on the watch. The disk together with the elevator sheave 100 moves wiir- 100 has teeth 102,104, 106th the. This defines the location of the tooth 102 in which a rotatable arm 108 is positioned for movement 122 , shown to the right of the above the surface of the elevator pulley 100 5 Fig. 2, and teeth 104 and 106 which correspond to these parts being arranged coaxially. accordingly by 37Vz ⁰ and 75 ° behind the tooth 122 an extension 110 of the arm 108 comprises a are ordered. In order to gain additional time to reach the upturned flange of a pair of teeth, a second 5-penny piece is one 112 and 114 forms. When the watch is completely removed, and as before, the pawl will run down the arm 108 , with the indicator in the position shown in FIG. 1 engaged. As a result, the arm 108 is shown position, the winding pulley 100 and after each actuation to the position shown in FIG. Stelder arm 108 shown in FIG. 2 in the positions shown in FIG. The disk 100 carries a stop 116 driven with or by the coin carrier 30 which engages the edge 118 of the arm 108 when this is accomplished. Movement of the arm 108 places the parts in this position. However, 15 does not indicate any timing. The position of the driver pawl 42 , since there is no engagement with the stop 116 , is controlled by the presence of a coin in the coin carrier. While the movement continues, the 30 is controlled. If a coin of the correct nominal 5-pfennig piece is worth an additional segment 124 in the coin carrier 30, the one that is located above the segment 88 coin during the rotation of the handle 14 will suffice. This drives the drive pawl 42 further onto that carried over the inner surface 82 . As the coin lift pulley 100 engages a segment 84 or 88 , or rides on 102, to and into engagement with the tooth, the distance from that point of engagement of the inner surface 82 it becomes the receiver to the end 120 of the segment is 37V ₂ ⁰ , resulting in pawl 42 to move on teeth, which leads to an acquisition of 3 additional hours for one. The handle with the driver pawl 42 are arranged. For engagement with Munich, and 25 mounting the disk 100 results in movement of the first segment 88 is of the tooth 104 to the position 122 thus arranged wheat 3, the direct in the outermost slit 20 hours can be purchased, were inserted in this During the second segment of the case, the tooth 106 is driven to position 122 for the 84 provided to purchase 3 additional hours with coins of the inner Schiit,

For the purpose of descriptions 30 The combination of the arm 108 and the lift Bung should be ommen that the outer slot 20 provides for the disk 100, an initial mounting order receptacle is provided vo »5-penny-pieces, a larger amount and a simple or more - and the inner slot for the acceptance of 1-ple-fold drawing of a considerably smaller piece of benig. It is also assumed that the wage, although a coin of the same value for the initial insertion of a 5-pfennig piece, was inserted at each winding-up. The device gives the user a time of 3 hours, and the delivery also delivers a similar result if a coin of different value is inserted. In the time of 1 hour. The embodiment shown takes the inner with the clock in the in F i g. 1 and 2 slot 20 shown a penny, and the segment 84 position cause the insertion of a 5 penny 40 is in line with the path of movement of the piece and the rotation of the handle 14 that penny is placed. This segment causes the driver pawl 42 to engage the tooth 112 of the arm and the driver pawl 42 to engage the second tooth 114 and 108 . As a result, the seg- ment drives the arm 108 into engagement. This second tooth element 88, the coin and the pawl 42 is offset by 25 ° with respect to the tooth 112, se to the arm just before the arm the tooth 112 45 d ^ate a full rotation of the disc 100 to 162 ¹ Ar happened . turns.

At the time shown to buy after a 5-Pfennig-Stücl <embodiment is the size of the rotation has been used. The segment 124 is consequently the winding pulley 187V * ⁰ , the stop 116 being arranged above the segment 88 , and in the Pfennig position shown with dashed lines there is therefore no effect on the winding which is shown towards the ground in FIG is. 55 have operation after once the stop IK. When the end 120 of the segment 88 is reached, towards a position for engagement with the arm 108 , the coin falls out for collection, thereby moving it out.

• ^{tine almost} corresponding way of working occurs

if a 1-franc piece is used. In this case, the segment pieces 166 and 168 are engaged, and these pieces are arranged so that the first franc piece engages the second tooth 202 on the auxiliary elevator pulley 176 . This tooth is angularly offset by 37 '/ 2 ° from tooth 200 , so that 30 minutes more are bought than is the case with a Vs-franc piece, in particular 80 minutes in the event that a whole franc is first inserted became.

If a second full franc piece is used, the mechanism is in the position shown in FIG. 13 position shown. It should be noted that the leading end of the raised segment member 168 (designated by case 228 in FIG. 13) is just prior to the position of the second tooth 208 on the main elevator pulley 182 . Accordingly, the raised segment part will cause the pawl 174 to take the second tooth engaging the 37Va ⁰ is located by the-winding. Accordingly, a second franc leads to the purchase of 30 minutes. When this has been achieved, the fourth tooth 212 of the main wind-up pulley 182 is moved into the position previously occupied by tooth 208 so that the last half hour can be bought by inserting the third franc.

The device is able to achieve the same purchase rate, even with the introduction of a V2-franc piece, followed by the introduction of a full-franc piece or vice versa. As a result, when the device is in the position shown in FIG. 12 is located after half an hour has been purchased, the introduction of a full franc causes the drive pawl 174 to engage the edge portion 225 on the auxiliary elevator pulley 176 . This edge part is 18 ³ A ⁰ from the position de? second tooth 202 deposited. Correspondingly, continued movement of the auxiliary winding pulley 176 results in a winding of 56 '/ 4 ° or 45 minutes of time. This is of course the same amount of time that would be bought if a full franc were inserted first and then half a franc. In the latter case, the full franc would move the main winding pulley 182 to a position shown in FIG. 13, while half a franc would cause the drive pawl 174 to engage tooth 206 for an additional lift of 18 ³ Ai ⁰ to surrender.

The functions described will change somewhat as soon as a coin is inserted at any time after the clock mechanism has started to run. Let it be Assume, for example, that half an hour has been purchased and that 7Vz minutes have passed, with the main elevator disk 182 ^{having moved back 9Vs 0} , with a corresponding return movement of the auxiliary elevator disk 176. If a full franc is now thrown in, the edge 225 of the auxiliary elevator disk becomes 176 are still engaged enough in one winding to add up to 1 hour and 15 minutes on the watch. On the other hand, if the coin is not inserted before the edge 225 has moved past the leading end of the slide member 166, the drive pawl 174 will catch the tooth 202 on the auxiliary elevator pulley 176 resulting in the purchase of only a full hour.

The mechanism does not significantly reduce or increase the time available, even if coins are inserted at irregular time periods.

The concepts of this invention are also applicable to dial gauge assemblies of which the initial is shown Feeding a coin buys a lesser amount of time while the subsequent feed buys a coin of the same value for a longer period of time. This could be achieved through a Arrangement as already described, with the teeth on the main disc in front of the teeth are placed on the auxiliary arm rather than behind the teeth on the arm. The initial introduction a coin would result in meshing of the main disc teeth with a resulting wind-up movement of the auxiliary arm in the manner described. The next or a later coin would become one Pick up the auxiliary arm through the claw guide, getting an increased amount of time would.

In the case of the FIGS. 29 to 34 illustrated examples, a lower time value is obtained during an initial drawing. In this arrangement, an auxiliary disk 250 is connected to a main disk 2S2. The auxiliary disk 250 has a plurality of teeth that have engaging edges 254, 256, 258 and 260 . Additional lead-in edges 262, 264, 266 and 268 are formed by the main disk 252 .

As shown in FIG. 30, the main disk 252 has a first cutout that extends between the edge portions 270 and 272 . The flange 274 is formed by the auxiliary disk 250 and extends within this cutout, the edge 276 of the flange being normally held in engagement with the edge 270 of the main disk. A spring corresponding to spring 216 used in the construction previously described is used to hold auxiliary disc 250 in this position.

Figure 31 illustrates the rear surface of the faceplate 278 of the watch. This faceplate 278 defines slots 280, 282 and 284 for receiving e.g. B.

5 cent pieces, 10 cent pieces, and 25 cent pieces. These coins can be engaged with segments 286, 288 and 290 in accordance with the apparatus previously described.

The segment 286 is arranged so that the tooth

_{; o} 254 is engaged by pawl 292 (Fig. 34) when the device is at zero time and a dime is inserted. This engagement drives the auxiliary arm through part of a backlash motion until the edge 294 of the flange 274 engages the edge 272 of the main disk 252 . In the view of FIG. 34 the pawl has moved through the slack part and the time setting operation is just beginning. In a typical embodiment, the play movement extends over 36 ° of the movement of the auxiliary disk, with the time setting extending over 18 °.

When a second 5 cent stick is thrown in, the second tooth 256 is engaged by the drive pawl, thereby shifting the second tooth 18 degrees in this particular example. The function of the mechanism is otherwise identical to an increase in the time it takes for this

5-cent piece is delivered, and for two consecutive 5 cent pounds when thrown in.

When a dime is initially inserted rather than a dime, the second tooth 256 is engaged. There are also two increments (36 °) of motion lost; however, the winding up will be two incremental sizes so that twice the time is obtained compared to the 5 cent piece. Similarly, a second dime will result in engagement with tooth 260 , with the mechanism then functioning in the same manner.

After four increments of purchased time, the main disc 262 is moved enough to allow the introduction of an additional 5 cent piece; or 10-cent piece to mesh a tooth:

262 or 264 leads. In this case, there is no lost motion, so that there are three winding increments when a 5-cent piece is inserted and four increments when a 10-cent piece is used.

ίο The dial indicator is designed so that the initial use of a 25 cent piece leads to a meshing of tooth 262 , the lost movement; in turn is eliminated.
