Description

' To all whom it may concern.-
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM D. CHASE, OF HACKENSACK, NEW JERSEY.
CLOCK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 373,441, dated November 22, 1887.
Application filed March 2!, 1887. Serial No. 231,682. (No model.)
Be it known that I, WILLIAM D. CHASE, of Hackensack, Bergen county, New J ersey,have
invented new and useful Improvements in Clocks, of which the'following is a full, clear, and exact description;
This invention relates to that class of clocks which produce pleasing effects to the beholder; and it consists in attaching to one of the clockarbors a spring-tube which projects through the dial of the clock and which has rigidly secured upon its projecting end an arm. This arm rocks over the dial of the clock with the movement of the same and carries on its outer face a movable ornament.
The dial of the clock may have any desired picture or design produced upon it, and secured to the rocking arm may be any device which will actin conjunction with the picture to produce a pleasing and varied'effect.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a face view of a clock provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a side view of the clock, the casing being partly broken away and part of the movement being shown in section; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the split spring-tube and arm.
A in the drawings represents the casing of a clock.
B is the anchor-escapement, mounted upon the arbor a, which is carried in the movement in the ordinary or suitable manner. This arbor a, or any other arbor of the clock-movement, receives on its free end the split tube 1). The tube 12 projects through a hole in the dial D,which hole aligns with arbor a, and has rigidly secured upon its free outer end the arm (7, preferably of metal. Upon the arm (I is secured a piece, 6, of paper or the like, which forms a part of the picture or design upon the face of the clock. The tube b fits tightly on the piece e, which is attached to the arm (1.,
and as the arm (Z rocks, carrying the hand and soap with it, the woman appears to be in the act of rubbing soap upon the clothes; but these designs may be varied to suit different requiremeuts.
If designed for an advertising-clock, letters may replace the ordinary figures of the dial, the representation on the face being no part of my invention.
By forming the rigid arm (I on the tube 1), I furnish aproper connection,and also a surface for conveniently fastening the paper ornament or movable part 6 of the design.
Having now described my invention, whatI claim is 1. In a elocl ,the split spring-tube b,having the rigid arm d,combined with the outer ornamental arm or sheet, 6, which is attached to said arm (I, substantially as described.
-2. The arbor a and means for moving the same, combined with the dial D, having ahole aligned with said arbor, and with the arm d,
removably attached to said arbor outside of W'itnesses:
