ABSTRACT:
A system for mounting a clock's working components and dial mechanism on a support platform to form a self-contained assembly which can be easily installed and removed from an enclosure. A clock movement supporting the working components is releasably supported from one side of a rigid, shaped mounting bracket for precise alignment with the dial mechanism which is releasably supported from the opposite side of the bracket by a plurality of dial posts. Attachment of the bracket to the dial panel mounts the movement and dial mechanism as a unit, and the dial panel is mounted on receiving fasteners for easy installation and removal. The bracket is fabricated to close tolerances to ensure alignment of critical components and consistent spacing between the movement and dial mechanism, and is sufficiently rigid to maintain these alignments and spacing and to sustain forces imposed upon the clock during handling and shipment.
