WATCH-REG U LA'TO R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 414,449, dated November 5, 1889.
Application filed June 7, 1889. Serial No. 313,488. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK W. SoHIM- MEL, of WVallace, in the county of Shoshone and Territory of Idaho, have invented a new and Improved WVatch-Regulator, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part thereof, in which- Figure l is a plan View of a portion of a watch-movement, showing the application of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a transverse section'taken on line so so in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a detail side elevation of the spirally-grooved traveling nut.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
The object of my invention is to construct a simple and effective device for moving the regulators of watches, whereby the regulator may be positively moved a short distance.
My invention consists in the combination, with the regulator, of a curved screw and a nut arranged to travel upon the screw and provided with a circumferential groove near one end for receiving the end of the regulatinglever, the said nut being provided with heli cal grooves, and in combination with the helically-grooved nut of a star-wheel pivoted on a stud or screw projecting from the regulator and provided with pins for engaging and turning the helically-grooved nut, all as will be hereinafter more fully described.
The watch-movement A, which is of the usual description, is provided with a balancebridge B, to which is attached in the usual way the regulator-lever O. Under the free extremity of the regulator-lever O is sup ported a curved screw D by the frame E, the center of the curvature of the said screw being coincident with the center of motion of the regulator-lever 0. Upon the curved screw D is placed a nut F, provided at one end with a circumferential groove to for receiving the free end of the regulator-lever O. The remainder of the nut F is grooved helically. Upon a screw I), inserted in the regulatorlever O, is journaled a star-wheel G, which may be turned by a needle or any convenient instrument. A series of pins 0 project from the under surface of the star-wheel G, and are arranged to enter the helical grooves of the nut F when the star-wheel G is turned. In this manner by turning the star-wheel G the pins 0 by entering the grooves of the nut F cause the nut to rotate upon the curved screw D and carry the regulator-lever O in one direction or the other, according to the direction of the rotation of the star-wheel G.
The frame E is provided with a scale (Z for indicating the amount of motion of the regulator-lever C.
By means of my improved regulating device any owner of a watch may readily regulate it without the necessity of taking it to a watch-maker.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent 1. The combination, with the regulator-lever O, of the curved screw D, the circumferentially and helically grooved nut F, and. the star-wheel G, provided with the pins 0, substantially as specified.
2. The combination, with the regulator-lever O, of the curved screw D, the circumferentially and helically grooved nut F, the starwheel G, provided with the pins 0, and the frame E, provided with the scale (I, substantially as specified. Y
