Flip clock

Schematic of a split-flap display in a digital clock display

Mechanism of a split-flap alarm clock, removed from its case. The inset shows the metal tab holding back the top flap. The narrow numbered wheel and knobs on the left are the alarm mechanism. Unlike quartz clocks, this is a synchronous electric clock which is kept to the correct time by the 50/60 Hz AC power grid.The small hook which retains the hour leaves until the top of the hour can be dimly seen, retracted, in the inset.
