MV / ks - 1 - Display and switching device for electronic clocks

Description : Electronic clocks are real time measuring devices in which the smallest time unit, preferably the hours, is derived either from the mains frequency or from a suitable clock frequency and is generated by frequency dividers. The very constant (seconds) WJ "pulse is amplified in the usual way and then fed, for example, to a magnetic coil which triggers a mechanical switching process per this time unit, which is then converted to the known clock-hand arrangement and loading path unit via conventional spur gears The disadvantage of a mechanical pointer arrangement is, in addition to the necessary precise mechanics, the fact that the pointer drive must be constantly visible, which is particularly important for clocks that are set up in living rooms • Because of his "nervousness" the second hand usually has to be left out completely. In addition, setting the time is cumbersome and laborious, which is particularly noticeable (This is particularly noticeable when the watch is to frequently alternately look at different times. There are enough mechanical solutions here -

To peel. Furthermore, you are on a clock with a pointer Pulse or circle-like clock face set. Corresponding applies to so-called digital clocks for their numeric display • Use in a gear train similar to that of an odometer.

The innovation relates to a clock. whose valley e.g. you Second pulse preferably electron. is generated and from with the help of known shift registers or ring counters o.a. suitable counting circuits after 60 second impulses Minute impulse passed on and again after 60 minute impulses e ± n status impulse is advanced. According to the innovation "will be these impulses as luminous dots on a dial for display used. *, the usual incandescent lamps for this purpose

can be used, but have the disadvantage of a short service life. Expediently, gallic acid diodes of different colors are also used for this purpose. According to the innovation, these luminous dots are arranged in a circle (Fig. 1) or linear (Fig. 2) in at least two rings or linear time scales. The riners can, for example, also be attached next to each other (Fig. 3), the scales, for example, also vertically (Fig. U) . The ring (1) or scale (2) has a 60 division for displaying the second pulse and for the minute display. Ring (3) or scale (4) shows the hours in 12 r divisions. While a luminous point is provided on the ring (1) or scale (2) for every second or minute, the ring (2) or the scale (4) has a luminous point for every quarter of an hour and a shift register or similar ensures that the display for the hours - similar to the small hand of a clock, takes place from quarter hour to quarter hour. This subdivision can also be made finer or coarser. According to the innovation, buttons (5) or switches can be assigned to these lighting arrangements, with which the individual Leaching processes can optionally be switched off without the relevant electrical switching process being interrupted. temporarily switched off. If necessary, the entire display can also be switched off and the clock display is only shown by pressing a button if this is required. According to the innovation sirtd - further buttons (6) or switches are provided with which the electrical counting circuit is switched on by adding pulses in such a way that the buttons can be assigned any number of world time indications ", that is, -separate the indicator light, for example on Central European Time (MEZ) set Tfar and a key {6) e.g. GMT (greenvicti mean time) is pressed - the X jumps, you dance to this time xun, etc. 7) or controller (8) provided for
