timer mechanisms, timers
Explanation:
“Clockwork mechanisms” are the assemblies that are clocks or clock-like, while “timer mechanisms” (“timers”) are often the assemblies (devices) that actuate something (e. g., switch on/off).


(1)
“A timer of the type described comp-rising a clockwork mechanism, an alarm mechanism, an electric switch, means actuated by said clockwork mechanism fcr simultaneously actuating said ala'rm mechanism and closing said switch at a predesignated time, means for prohibiting the `actuation of said alarm mechanism while permitting the closing of said switch, and means actuated by said clockwork mechanism for opening said switch at a predesignated time”

“Figure 5 is a fragmentary isometric view of parts of the timer mechanism”
