imer: A clock in the humble members of the family

Say watch that's a huge family, there will be places where it needs time, it not only watch, home watch. In the various fields of social life, including technology, defense, manufacturing, communications, transportation, and have a wide range of civilian applications.
Timer is actually watch, as the clocks indicate the time there are two basic functions: one is the total time, on account of a period, while the main function is to count the timer period (usually the first preset time, then the countdown time manner). It's the type of mechanical and electronic (electric) type, in the household is the most typical applications in the microwave, oven, cooker, washing machine and fan on. The timer is concerned, the length of time they usually are not large, about 1-12 hours in between it, accuracy is not high, but on the reliability and security appliances to the most important, especially those with the switch contacts, with the oven temperature on the need, the timer also has its own corresponding industry standards.

Some are home daily timer, this has long prevailed in developed countries. 10 years ago, I had a friend come back from the United States abroad, it brought a electronic timer, is quartz, liquid crystal digital display, countdown timer can be preset time and then, after the point with the noise in the prompt. Timer behind the magnet, metal objects can be adsorbed on the above, it is a Japanese product, it was said that the average American family each have at least 2 such thing.
Generally used as a reminder timer, such as cooking drugs, cooking, lunch, exercise, and so on. See the timer on the market today are generally mechanical and appearance do very beautiful, animals, vegetables, fruits, cartoons, utensils and other shapes, dazzling, lively and lovely, my family will have a regular shape rooster crow device. They are basically plastic shell, priced between $ 10-20 each, time range of 1-60 minutes, I think this is something to be regarded as a good gift to give as gifts.

Use, it should rotate the timer to full bar, and then back to the control you want to scale down the selected time period, even if it is also on the selected few minutes to do so. Such timer alarm clock is very similar to the structure and movement, there are two internal clockwork, one for walking, a ring for trouble. The difference is that it is not of the round, with a travel time of the winding directly onto the two (center wheel), and if it has balance wheel and hairspring, most of the wheels are plastic, and even the main plywood.
