Abstract

1,243,934. Programmed timing system for control of apparatus. EDWARDS CO. Inc. Feb. 10, 1970 [Feb.10, 1969], No. 6320/70. Heading G3T. A programmed timing system for selectively energizing a plurality of control circuits, e.g. to devices 108, 109, Fig. 1, and comprising a clock 100 driving day, hour and minute stepping switches 101, 102, 103 which have output circuits that are selectively energized as time progresses (e.g. minute switch 101 has an output circuit for each minute), the outputs of each switch are connected to matrices of terminal arrays 106. Energization of the control circuits for devices 108, 109 is enabled by AND gates 110, 111. The programme is pre-set by means of detachable leads between the matrices and gates. If the output circuits are to be programmed to operate at different times during a week, certain of the input leads to the AND gates are connected through OR gates 112-115 to the matrices. Thus as shown, Fig. 1, AND gates 110, 111 both have a first input on days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Gate 111 has a second input via a line 119 for the hour 4 p. m. anda third input via line 120 from the OR gate 115 which is enabled at minute No. 1 and minute No.3. Thus AND gate 111 is enabled on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, during the minutes 1 and 3 after 4 p. m. Alternatively the minute switches may be a self contained synchronous motor driven minutes scanner. The 'days' setting may cover a three week period. Means are provided for checking that the correct programme has been set Fig. 4 (not shown). The AND gates may be relays (PM1) (PM2) Fig. 2 (not shown) two inputs being connected to a winding and the third to a contact of the relay.
