Abstract

An electromagnetically-induced rocking clock includes an adjustable combination rod fixed with a permanent magnet, two abrasion-resistant sockets formed on the combination rod and two supporting needles fixed with a rocking clock body having an induction coil corresponding to the permanent magnet and pivotedly mounted on the two sockets whereby the permanent magnet can be adjusted by adjusting the vertical or horizontal plate of the combination rod to be applicable for different sizes of clocks and the clock body or pendulum can smoothly swing on two fulcra formed on the two sockets.

Claims2

Dependent claims

An electromagnetically-induced rocking clock having:

an adjustable combination rod including a vertical rod fixed with a permanent magnet thereon, a L-shaped connection rod having a vertical plate connected with said vertical rod and a horizontal plate connected with a horizontal rod, and a horizontal rod fixed on a decorative figurine seat or hanging rack;
two abrasion-resistant sockets formed on said horizontal rod of said combination rod;
two supporting needles fixed on a rocking clock body or swinging casing and pivotedly mounted on said two abrasion-resistant sockets respectively;
and a rocking clock body or swinging casing fixed with an induction coil corresponding to said permanent magnet to swing along two fulcra on said abrasion-resistant sockets;
said adjustable combination rod having said vertical rod formed with several positioning screw holes thereon, said L-shaped connection rod having said vertical plate formed with a series of positioning holes thereon to permit a fixing screw to pass through said positioning hole on said vertical plate and to be fixed into said positioning screw hole on said vertical rod so that said permanent magnet can be adjusted vertically along said L-shaped connection rod and having a horizontal plate formed with a series of positioning holes thereon, said horizontal rod formed with a positioning screw hole thereon to permit a fixing screw to pass through said positioning hole on said horizontal plate and fixed into said positioning screw hole on said horizontal rod so that said permanent magnet can be adjusted horizontally along said horizontal rod;
said two abrasion-resistant sockets each being formed with an inversed truncated cone hole which is lowerly terminated with a bottom plate adjustably fixed on said horizontal;
and
two supporting needles, connected to a base fixed under said rocking clock body, respectively pivotedly mounted on said two abrasion-resistant sockets, whereby the horizon of said clock body can be adjusted by adjusting said bottom plates of said abrasion-resistant sockets.
