Self contained battery operated clock fabricated on a single printed circuit board

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1.
In an electric clock having a printed circuit board with a plurality of conductive areas plated thereon for interconnecting an electromechanical movement mounted on the printed circuit board with a group of modules and for interconnecting the modules, each module having at least one electric terminal, said group comprising a quartz controlled electric oscillator, a drive circuit controlled by the oscillator, an alarm signal source, an alarm release switch operated by the movement for closing the circuit of said alarm signal source, contacts of a manually operated alarm stop switch for breaking said circuit and a battery also having terminals, each of said modules and said battery being arranged on said printed circuit board with at least one of said terminals of each module and battery being in direct contact with selected ones of said conductive areas, with said alarm stop switch comprising a manually operated conductive member slidably contacting said printed circuit board, said conductive member being movable to a first position in direct contact with two of said conductive areas and to a second position out of contact with said areas for selectively electrically connecting and disconnecting said two conductive areas.
2.
A clock as recited in claim 1 wherein said electro-mechanical movement is provided with a terminal mounted in direct contact with one of said conductive areas.
3.
A clock as recited in claim 1 wherein said alarm release switch comprises a contact spring mounted on said printed circuit board opposite said electromechanical movement and wherein said electromechanical movement has an actuating element extending therefrom, said contact spring being adapted to contact one of said conductive areas for closing the alarm release switch, said contact spring extending over an opening defined in said printed circuit board for receiving said actuating element to permit the electromechanical movement to control the alarm release switch
