ABSTRACT:
A whole body swingable clock which includes a clock body swingingly supported on the pendulum fulcrum, an additional pendulum contained in the clock body to swing the clock body by means of movement of gravity center position, said clock body containing a clock drive mechanism having a clock drive gear train to indicate a certain time and an additional pendulum drive mechanism having an additional pendulum drive gear train to drive the additional pendulum, the additional pendulum drive gear train prepared with an escape wheel, a pallet fork which engages with the escape wheel to swing and is connected to the additional pendulum and a urging means which provides the predetermined rotating force to the escape wheel so that the rotation of the escape wheel enables the engaging conditions between the escape wheel and the pallet fork to be changed to swing the pallet fork and the additional pendulum connected thereto and further the whole clock body, wherein the clock drive gear train and the additional pendulum drive gear train are arranged to be linked with each other so that the clock drive gear train can wind up the urging means to accumulate the urging force, and both of these two gear trains can be driven by a single drive means, and further wherein a time correcting wheel is installed between the clock drive gear train and the additional pendulum drive gear train so that the time correcting wheel can be geared with both of these gear trains, and the rotation of the time correcting wheel enables a time to be corrected and the urging means of the additional pendulum drive mechanism to be wound up for accumulation of the initial urging force.
