ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for automatically winding a weight driven clock includes a common traveler member mounted for reciprocating movement between a rest and reversal position, a pulling member associated one with each weight of the clock and adapted to exert a pulling force on its supporting chain, a latch mechanism for each pulling member for selectively coupling same for movement with said traveler member, a weight sensing mechanism for sensing the arrival of each weight of the clock in a clock unwound position thereof for operating the latch mechanism of the pulling member associated with such weight and for initiating movement of the traveler member from its rest position, whereby a pulling force is exerted by the pulling member on the chain of its associated weight when placed in the unwound position thereof for lifting such weight into a clock wound position thereof coincident to the arrival of the traveler member in its reversal position, and a device for sensing the arrival of the traveler member in its reversal position for initiating return thereof and the pulling member to rest position.
