Abstract
A hollow main body(1) is constituted by a plurality of square or rectangular side plates(3) with the same pattern connected to each other so as to form a polygonal cube frame and lids(4,4a,4b) having a configuration corresponding to that of the upper and lower openings of said polygonal cube frame. Two ON-contacts(5,5) in the shape of a stick are mounted at each inner surface of a time setting device(2) containing a spherical conductor(6) displaced within the frame with the reduced and almost the same pattern with that of said frame along with a connecting portion (8). Thus, the timer is constituted in a manner that the side plates of said frame and time setting device are parallel each other. A preliminarily prescribed setting time(9) is indicated on the outer surface of said hollow main body(1).
Claims12
A timer comprising:
- a plurality of square or rectangular side plates,
- a polygonal cube frame formed by connecting said plurality of square or rectangular side plates to each other,
- a main hollow body (1) constituted by said polygonal cube frame and lids (4, 4a, 4b) with the configuration corresponding to that of the upper and lower openings of said polygonal cube frame,
- a time setting device (2) containing side plates, a spherical conductor (6) and further provided with two ON-contacts (5, 5) in the shape of a stick mounted at each inner surface of the side plates of said device (2) having a reduced and almost the same pattern as that of said main hollow body, and
- said time setting device (2) being fixed to the main hollow body (1) within said body in a manner such that the side plates of said device (2) and main hollow body (1) are parallel.
A timer comprising:
- a plurality of square or rectangular side plates,
- a polygonal cube frame formed by connection said plurality of square or rectangular side plates to each other,
- a main hollow body (1) constituted by said polygonal cube frame and lids (4, 4a, 4b) with the configuration corresponding to that of the upper and lower openings of said polygonal cube frame.
- a time setting device (2) containing side plates, a spherical conductor (6) and further provided with two ON-contacts (5, 5) in the shape of a stick mounted at each inner surface of the side plates of said device (2) having a reduced and almost the same pattern as that of said main hollow body, and
- said time setting device (2) being fixed to the main hollow body (1) within said body in a manner such that the side plates of the time setting device (2) and main hollow body (1) are shifted 360.degree./2n (n=the number of an angle of a polygon) from a parallel state thereof through rotation.
A timer comprising:
- a regular polygonal cubic main hollow body(31) formed by connecting a plurality of regular polygonal side plates(33) with the same pattern to each other,
- a pair of ON-contacts mounted at each apex formed by side plates of a time setting device(32) having a reduced and almost the same pattern as that of said main body(31) and mounted at a position between connecting portions of the side plates of said time setting device(32) containing a spherical conductor, and
- the side plates of said main hollow body and time setting device displaced within said hollow body are shifted 360.degree./2n (n=the number of an angle of a polygon) in the horizontal and vertical directions through rotation.
A timer comprising:
- a polygonal cubic main hollow body (21) having an optional configuration,
- a pair of ON-contacts mounted at an inner surface aside each apex of a time setting device (22) containing a spherical conductor at an opposing position between connecting portions of side plates of said time setting device having the same number of faces of side plates and apices of said hollow body (21), and
- said setting device (22) being mounted within said hollow body in a manner such that an apex of said time setting device may be opposed to an inner surface of a side plate of said hollow body.
