Description
A clockwise torque is applied by weight 6 to disk 5 which rotates about fixed axis A. Ratchet wheel 2 is keyed with planet pinion 3 to a stud shaft. Pinion 3 meshes with fixed sun gear 5, forming planetary gearing of which disk 5 is the carrier. One end of spiral spring 7 is attached to disk 5 and the other to link 1 which rotates about axis A. Spring 7 turns link 1 out of engagement with ratchet wheel 2, allowing disk 5 to be turned by weight 6. Pinion 3 continues to roll around gear 4 until ratchet wheel 2 engages link 1 which has been stopped beforehand by a device that is not shown. This winds up spring 7. $2738$RG,ML$
