Abstract

The invention relates to a striking mechanism clock including a clock movement and a mechanical strike mechanism. The mechanical striking mechanism includes a plurality of striking hammers which have contact levers, the hammers being positioned on a common turning arbor of a hammer shaft. A lifting stud cylinder is provided with a mantle surface having a plurality of groups of lifting studs disposed staggered axially with respect to each other. Each group of lifting studs effect a different striking sequence of the striking hammers. Each of the lifting stud groups is adapted to be brought into a working position by adjusting the working position of the stud cylinder by axially displacing the lifting stud cylinder with respect to contact levers associated with respect to striking hammers. An adjusting element or correcting element including a camming surface or step surface. The steps of the correcting element being connected to the lifting stud cylinder by a contact slider. The contact slider is biased toward the correcting steps of the correcting element. Means are provided including the correcting element for manually adjusting the working position of the lifting stud cylinder. Additionally, means are provided for automatically adjusting the position of the lifting stud cylinder including a cam disk with an annular step cam adapted to be brought into operative connection with the contact slider of the lifting stud cylinder as an alternative to the manual correcting element.
