FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: time indication mechanism with the flexible indicator element comprises directly a flexible indicator element itself, a stacking and feeding system of the flexible indicator element, and a wheel or a ring of indication, characterized in that the stacking and feeding system of the flexible indicator element is kinematically connected with the clock mechanism. By means of the said stacking and feeding system of the flexible indicator element, a flexible indicator element is wound on the cylindrical surface of the wheel or the ring of indication, forming a visible arc. Herewith the clock can contain one or more such indication mechanisms, which allow to display hours, minutes, days, a calendar, etc.
EFFECT: reducing the size of the clock by simplifying the design, since we do not use the standard switch system, reducing the wear of the clock mechanism elements, higher performance of the clock with such a indication mechanism due to the presence of only one easily replaceable element.
