ELECTRON-MECHANICAL WATCH (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; psychiatry; therapy. SUBSTANCE: base 13 of watch housing in series-produced electron-mechanical watches is made of dielectric material. External surface of housing base carries two concentric external electrodes 14, 15 contacting the man's skin. Two internal electrodes 16, 17 in the form of concentric sectors connected electrically and in pairs with external electrodes 14, 15 are provided on internal surface of watch housing base. Housing base 13 is made for turning around axis through angle exceeding the sector angular value of internal electrodes. In addition, watch has spring-loaded contacts 12 connected to excitation winding of step motor 1. When housing base turns, these contacts get closed by internal electrodes 16, 17, and biostimulation pulses acting on man's skin and rendering therapeutic effect are supplied to external concentric electrodes 14, 15. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities. 2 cl, 2 dwg
