METHOD OF MEASURING TIME AND INDICATING DEVICE FOR TIMEPIECE (VARIANTS) Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: time measuring technique. SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of setting a speed pattern, equal to a rate of time elapsing, therefore assuming a circumferential speed value of an end of a second point, having the standard radius R_stand=1 cm, and performing time measuring in units of length of distance value, being passed with the above mentioned pattern of speed. An indicator device of a timepiece includes a dial, with a length π cm, graduated in length units, and having at least three pointers, arranged on an endless carrier with intervals, equal to the length of the dial, and having a standard linear speed C_stand =2π cm/min,. In a variant the indicating device is provided by n dials for reading time, having the same length and applied without spacings on a circumference of a body of revolution, whose rotation axis coincides with a rotation axis of the pointers. EFFECT: enhanced structure of indicating device for counting time according to the modified system. 8 cl, 1 tbl
