AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Extends the operation time of timing devices by ensuring continuous power delivery through automatic and manual winding mechanisms, preventing unnecessary stopping and the need for frequent resets.

Problems solved by technology

However, if the timing device is left unattended for a long period of time in case of an automatic winding, or is not timely rewound in case of manual winding, the timing device will be forced to stop and the time must be reset once again.

Embodiment Construction

[0008]The present invention relates to a timing device that utilizes hybrid power, in which a power winding for a wheel train operates on the power is stored from sources including a battery or capacitor, city power, or any other type of power source, or power converted from oscillation potentials created when the timing device is moved; or power converted from ambient temperature and optical energy incident on the timing device and accumulated by means of an energy storage device, such as a rechargeable battery, capacitor, or ultra capacitor. The power is then utilized in any of the following ways:[0009](1) A manual control unit is provided to operate a dynamoelectric switch by pressing, pulling, dialing, turning or any other means; a sensor-responsive control is arranged to be activated by means of touch, optics, electromagnetism, or a capacitor detection related electronic switch circuit device; or an audio, optics, or electro-magnetic wave related circuit device is provided for ...

Abstract

A timing device utilizes hybrid power to drive a movement of the timing device, the hybrid power supply functioning as an auxiliary unit to deliver power to an electro-magnetically driving unit through an automatic control unit manipulated by a mechanical energy storage status detection unit to produce mechanical energy in time to prevent the movement from stopping; a main spring barrel or a potential difference weight of the kinetic energy storage unit being driven to further drive a wheel chain of the timing device and automatically suspend driving upon the completion of winding the wheel train.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation of nonprovisional application Ser. No. 11 / 414,203, filed May 1, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002](a) Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention is related to a timing device that utilizes hybrid power, and more particularly to a timing device in which the operation time of the timing device is extended by intermittently connecting a powered wheel train in series with a conventional timer movement.[0004](b) Description of the Prior Art[0005]A conventional timing device such as a clock or watch working either by automatic or manual winding usually relies upon a main spring is barrel or a potential difference weight to store energy and drive a movement that visually and / or audibly displays the time or to provide other mechanically driven functions. However, if the timing device is left unattended for a long period of time in case of an automatic winding, or is not timely rewound in case of manual winding, the timing device will be fo...
