UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICEc FREDERIC FITT, OF OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA.
IMPROVEMENT IN WATCH GOING-BARRELS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 202,012, dated April 2, 1878; application filed November 23, 1877.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERIC FITT, of Ottawa, in the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Watch Going-Barrels; and I do hereby declare that the following is a clear and exa-ct description of my invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a face view of the great wheel. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the barrel with the great wheel detached therefrom. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the barrel attached to the great wheel. Fig. 4is a diametrical sectional view of the barrel and great wheel. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the inner side or face of the great wheel, and Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the barrel.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
My invention relates to that class of socalled safety watch going-barrels in which the barrel containing the mainspring does, by the breakage of this spring, become detached from the great wheel, thereby avoiding injury to this or to the other parts of the works, and it consists in the combination of a closed cylindrical barrel containing the spring with a detachable flanged great wheel iitting over the cylindrical closed barrel, substantially as hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawing, A is the springbarrel, which is cylindrical in shape, and closed on both sides by heads or faceplates, so that the spring is completely inclosed within the barrel. Upon one of these face-plates are secured three or more dogs or catches, denoted by a a a, the ends of which are spread or widened, so as to dovetail with or slide in and out of corresponding slots or openings b b b in the face of the great wheel B. The dogs a are so bent and iitted into the openings b, which receive them, as to allow free back action or recoil of the barrel-case A, which has, on that head or side which faces and is inserted into the great wheel, a central annular recess or depression, d, through the center of which passes the spring-arbor c, and which lits around a central raised boss or hub, e, on the inner face of the great wheel B. The dogs a rise only about one-sixth the thickness of the edge of the great wheel from their face-plate, so as not to project through, but only into, the beveled openings b, so that in case of recoil the displacement of the barrel and of the great wheel is very slight.
rlhe central boss e is of such a height that it will allow the great wheel to rise sufficiently on its pinion to throw the dogs a out of gear, and thus it will be seen that the recess cl in the barrel, into which this hub or boss is inserted, serves as a guide to enable the great wheel to rise vertically on its pinion in the contingency of breakage of the spring without tilting to either side, which might result in injury to the delicate mechanism which surrounds the great wheel, and is operated by it.
The rim of the cylinder A fits into the annular perpendicular tlan ge ofthe great wheel, as shown in Fig. 4, inside of which rim or flange the perforations b b b are placed.
Similarly, the corresponding dogs or catches a a a are not placed upon the periphery or rim of the barrel A, but upon the face-plate of this inside of the rim.
I have found by experiment that a barrelrim provided with dogs which engage with the superimposed great wheel is insucient, without a head covering and retaining the spring` within the barrel, to withstand the constant and powerful strain of the spring, and especially under the recoil caused by breakage, when the spring, not covered and confined by a barrel-head, will twist and tilt the great wheel whichever way the spring, on its sudden and powerful recoil, may drag it.
I do not claim, broadly, the combination of a watch going-barrel provided with dogs or catches with a flanged detachable great wheel having beveled perforations for the insertion of these dogs or catches; but,
Having thus described my improvement, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- A 1. A closed watch going barrel, A, pro
vided with dogs or catches a a a on its faceand central raised cylindrical boss e, substanplate inside of its riln or periphery, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and tially as and for the purpose herein shown and described. specified.
2. The combination of the closed Watch FREDERIC FITT going-barrel A, having dogs a a a and cen- Witnesses: tral annular recess d, with the anged great J. O; MAY, Wheel B, having beveled perforations b b b v J. CoURsvILLE.
