ABSTRACT:
A clock having conventional clock timing mechanism operably connected to a supporting hour hand, a minute hand, a modified second hand, and a freely pivotable object support hand. The object support hand swings freely in pendulum fashion, taking a downwardly at-rest position when not being otherwise articulated by the second hand. The second hand and/or the object support hand are modified to cooperatively engage with one another each time the second hand passes the object support hand so as to carry or pivotally lift the object support hand to the top of the arch of the second hand, at which point the object support hand freely pivots downwardly and swings in pendulum fashion until again coming to its at-rest position. The object support hand may include an enlarged distal end having the appearance of a miniature flyable object such as a strikeable sports related object which appears to be struck and to fly each time the second hand sweeps by and carryingly engages the object support hand.
