FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: apparatus for accumulating mechanical energy in a clock mechanism has a screw-nut pair consisting of a nut on whose surface there is are cylindrical grooves, and a toothed nut placed on the screw, and a coil spring also placed on the screw, which serves to convert, when winding the clock, the rotational motion of a winding gear wheel rigidly fixed on the screw into translational motion of the compressed coil spring, and translational motion of the coil spring when released into progressive motion of the toothed screw of the screw-nut pair, converted by a system of gear wheels into translational motion, which provides torque on the central wheel of the clock mechanism and a release unit.
EFFECT: providing constant torque, enabling automatic equipment with a power reserve indicator, simple design of the clock.
