W = 6_1/4" / 16 cm ; D = 3" / 7.5 cm ; H = 3" / 7.5 cm
220 VAC / 50 Hz / 2 W ( ALARM BUZZ ON = 16 W )
Setting with SWITCHES for HOUR & MINUTES and WHEELS for ALARM from the bottom
R E M A R K S : A clever solution!
================================================================================
I found this clock in Berlin FleaMarket and wondered: How it could have so BIG
FIGURES in such SMALL SPACE ??? - At home I found the solution: The DISPLAY
consist of 8 triangular PRISMs (s.Picture 8x3=24 ). On "top" of the figure 15 is
the 23 and on its "bottom" the figure 7. The working flow ...
-> 0 +-> 8 +-> 16
1 | 9 | 17
2 | 10 | 18
3 | 11 | 19
4 | 12 | 20
5 | 13 | 21
6 | 14 | 22
----- | ====== | ------
7 ->-+ 15 ->-+ 23 ->
----- ====== ------
The BUZZER ( the white round in middle of the print board ) is connected over a
BI-METAL-RELAY ( the white block right ): When the buzz-current made it HOT, it
disconnect the buzzer for a while. After cooling it connect the buzzer again ...
until the NEXT MINUTE switches ALARM OFF. A switch on top of the case disables
the alarm by opening the contact ( located left of the big resistor ).
The HOUR-WHEEL and the MINUTE WHEEL of the A L A R M S E T T I N G have
contacts. The HOURS & MINUTES of the D I S P L A Y are connected with the
ALARM-SETTINGS over "SYNCHRONIZED GEARING" to close the contacts when it's time.
