Abstract
A clock striking mechanism includes a counting wheel having peripheral notches spaced by amounts which differ and related to the number of strikes at each striking action, a gear wheel fast with the counting wheel and meshing with a worm. A cam driven by the minute spindle of the clock movement raises a lever when the hour or half-hour is to be struck and a projection on the lever is raised thus leaving the counting wheel free to rotate. The worm is mounted on a spindle which is arranged to open and close a pair of contacts in a supply circuit of a motor and release of the counting wheel frees the worm and its spindle to close the contacts under the bias of a spring. The motor is energized and rotates the spindle to actuate striking mechanism by means of a cam or cams mounted on the spindle. The worm simultaneously drives the gear wheel and hence the counting wheel and striking ceases when the next notch is reached and the lever projection engages therein.
