Abstract

1,137,962. Counters; display devices. SOC. ANON. DES ETAB. LEON HATOT. 8 March, 1966 [9 March, 1965], No. 10006/66. Headings G4D and G5C. [Also in Division G3] A display device comprises a stationary frame 10 in which is mounted a drum 12 rotatable about a central axis, the drum having five display elements (V1-V5), Fig. 5 (not shown), each consisting of two display faces, each element being rotatable about an axis (a1-a5) parallel to the central axis so that the number of display configurations equals the product of the number of elements and the number of display faces on each element. Mounted on a common axis with the drum 12 is a second conventional drum 11 having six display faces bearing the ciphers 0-5. The display faces of each display element of the drum 12 bear the ciphers 0 and 5, 1 and 6 etc. up to 4 and 9 so that the two drums 11, 12 together indicate the minutes 0-59. An abutment 14 causes each display element of drum 12 to rotate about its axis a1-a5 so that after displaying the ciphers 0-4 during one revolution, the drum 12 then displays the ciphers 5-9 during its second revolution. A time control mechanism (not shown), displaces a lever 17 once each minute against the action of a return spring 17b so that a spring loaded pawl 18 rotates a ratchet wheel 19 by one tenth of a revolution. A system of gear wheels causes the drum 12 to rotate one fifth of a revolution per minute. At each complete revolution of the ratchet wheel 19 a finger 19a engages a star wheel 23 which rotates the drum 11 by one sixth of a revolution. In a modification, the display faces are curved. Also, an hours displaying device is illustrated for use in conjunction with the minutes displaying device and comprises two drums each having six display elements with twelve display faces, the display faces bearing the indicators 00-11 and 12-23 respectively. A mask displaceable with respect to a window in the frame covers each drum alternately every twelve hours. Instead of two drums a single drum may be used having twelve display elements each comprising two rotatable display faces, the display elements bearing the indications 00 and 12, 01 and 13 up to 11 and 23.
