Abstract

1331271 Electric timepieces CITIZEN WATCH CO Ltd 29 Sept 1970 [29 Sept 1969] 46171/70 Heading G3T In an electronic timepiece of the kind having a balance 10 carrying a pin 22 which advanced a stepping wheel 23, when the balance is in its neutral position the pin 22 is offset by at least 20 degrees from a line 28 joining the axed O 1 , O 2 of the balance and stepping wheel. The arrangement is stated to introduce a stepping error which may be arranged to compensate for other errors in isochronism - see Figs. 5, 6 (not shown). The pin 22 may be offset to either side of the line 28 and the arrangement is also stated to facilitate self-starting. A magnet 27 fixed to a plate 20 co-operates with the teeth of the wheel 23 to prevent reverse rotation. The balance 10 carries counterweights 13a, b and permanent magnets 12a, b which co-operate with fixed driving and sensing coils 14. In an alternative arrangement, the balance carries four permanent magnets (12a'-d'), Fig.4 (not shown) and has a single counterweight (13).
