PURPOSE: To provide a constant speed step drive device with a high accuracy by extracting the output of a thermal magnetic motor in a step manner through a pallel fork serving as an energy discharge system after it is accumulated in an energy accumulation system.
CONSTITUTION: A thermal magnetic motor 12 is equipped with thermo-sensitive rotor 5 having a number of thermo-sensitive magnetic pieces 1 with magnetic permeability variable whenever heated and a stator 6 made of a U-shaped yoke 7 in which a permanent magnet 10 is arranged on a piece 9 facing a piece 8 and a hole 11 for entrance of thermal energy is arranged on the piece 8 to convert thermal energy to rotaty drive force. With the actuation of the motor 12, a spring in an incense box 15 is wound up to accumulate drive energy therein. The drive energy thus accumulated in an energy accumulation system 25 composed of the motor 12 and the box 15 is extracted as a step drive force through a pallet fork 31, serving as an energy discharge system 26, composed of an espape wheel 30, an anchor 32 and a ramp 33.

A watch winder comprising plural watch winder units and a power supply. The plural watch winder units are assembled by connectors in such a manner that the watch winders units are electrically connected to one another, and the power supply is electrically connected to one of the watch winder units to supply power to all the electrically-connected watch winder units. By such arrangements, the respective watch winder units are not required to be provided with one power supply, thus saving the manufacturing cost, satisfying the requirements of environmental protection, and the watch winder units can be assembled as desired. |

A watch winder can automatically wind numerous kind/brand of self-winding watch and maintains the main-spring in ideal tension range. The watch in winding can always be positioned in its favorable showing orientation. The watch in winding can be mounted or dismounted easily. The noise produced by the winder is reduced significantly to a low level. The winder comprises a rotary bowl with central rectangular recess for receiving a cushion holder inserted on the bowl. An electrical noise-proof motor-gear system drives the rotary bowl. An IC circuitry installed under the panel controls the rotation mode of the motor-gear system. A length-wise retractile cushion holder is inserted in the recess with its width tightly fitted for carrying the watch in place. A switch means is installed on the panel with an indicating means for selecting a respective mode to drive the rotary base. |

The present invention is an apparatus and method for synchronizing and updating the memory of an external digital device, such as a personal digital assistant, and the memory of a watch via a two way communication link providing for the synchronous transfer of data between the devices. The data transfer is accomplished by placing the external digital device and watch into an alignment device which secures and positions each device in an appropriate spatial relationship allowing data to be transferred between devices. A separate integrated display controller provides for operation of the watch display thereby conserving power required to operate the device. |

A controllable watch winder for a self-winding mechanical watch, in which a turntable is provided to hold and rotate the watch, including a programmable microprocessor circuit configured to count the number of rotations executed by the turntable. In one aspect, the watch winder is configured to introduce, after the electronic circuit is activated, a delay period before the turntable commences rotating. In another aspect, the circuit may be configured to interrupt the rotation of the turntable with pauses, to break up the rotation into cyclical sets. The circuit may be configured to automatically predetermine the number of rotations in each set. In yet another aspect, the watch winder may be configured to be manually adjustable, to variably predetermine before use, the number of rotations to be executed by the turntable and the length of any pause between rotations. |

A long term rapid color changing time indicator includes a front part and a back part. The front part includes a transparent layer, an opaque layer, a colorant layer, and a neutralizing layer. The colorant layer includes a matrix and a colorant having a non-migratory form that does not migrate in the matrix and having a migratory form that migrates in the matrix. The back part has a reactant. When the front part and the back part are placed in contact, the reactant migrates into the neutralizing layer and a portion of the reactant is depleted by a coreactant. The unreacted reactant migrates into the colorant layer and reacts with the non-migratory form of the colorant converting the non-migratory form to the migratory form such that the migratory form of the colorant migrates through the opaque layer to cause a visual color indication in the transparent layer. |
