2. t e c h n o Current chronometers

3. t e c h n o A chronometeris a specific type of watch that is used as a stopwatch combined with a display. A basic chronometerhas an independent sweep second hand; it can be started, stopped, read and returned to zero by successive pressure on the stem.

4. t e c h n o Our Timer Buzzer has been designed to be an audio electromagnetic signaling device, including a self resetting timer. It is activated by a push switch. After a fixed time delay it buz for a short time, as soon as the device return to sleep state, attempting another activation.

5. t e c h n o The Timer Buzzer is an optimization tool. This device allows sweepers to evaluate the breakpoint of the stone mainly for a draw call, and therefore provide more or less vigorously brushing to bring the stone to the target.

6. t e c h n o The most important advantage of the Timer Buzzer is to minimize the mistakes due to the two or three times push button and the display time reading. You only have to activate and at the buz observe the position of the stone relate to the reference line.

7. t e c h n o The Timer Buzzer is made to be inserting at the upper end of the broomstick. It is then easy to activate and bring it near the user ear to well heard the buz. The push switch is in a recess cap cavity to protect. The cap is resistant material.

8. t e c h n o The materials used, the method of manufacturing and assembly, make this millisecond Timer Buzzer a unique and quality precision electronic instrument for all curlers. Concurrently a chronometer can be used.

9. t e c h n o Back line First Hog line Second Hog line Tee line On the leftside of the first hog line, the stone at the top indicatesits position after 3,8 seconds of the back line starting point. The position of the stones varies whenlaunch speed islesser or greater for the same time. Consequently the stones glide atcorresponding distances on eachside of the Tee line in the opposite House. For heavier stones, they hit the bumperat the end of the sheet and back towards the House.

10. t e c h n o Back Line First hog Line Second hog Line Tee Line Activation Stone position at buz ------------------- Stone get still --------- 0 3,8 sec. 28,5 sec. Ex: Ice speed = 28,5 sec. - 1 sec = ± 10 feet Back Line to Hog Line = 3,8 sec. - 0,5 sec = ± 5 feet " Experiencewill guide the sweeper to Excellence! "

11. t e c h n o Back line First hog Line 3,5 3,6 3,7 3,8 3,9 If stones get still at T line Activation Stone position at buz, 3,8 sec. Approximate position of the stones for ice speeds equivalent to 3.5 to 3.9 seconds, from the back line to the first hog line.

12. t e c h n o The Timer Buzzer 3,8 seconds to evaluate the breakpoint of a stone thrown on a curling sheet. Methodof evaluation It is possible to evaluate the breakpoint of a stone by measuring the distance cover by itfrom the Back line to the Hog line in a fixed time. When a playerisregular in itsslide, without push the stone at release, thisevaluationisaccurate and with good cause the Timer Buzzerthatworks to the finger and eyeand hearing. Considering an ice speed of 28,5 seconds, thismeansthat a stone timedfrom the Back line of a curling sheetwill stop on the Tee line in the opposite House, 28,5 seconds later. The reference time atTimer Buzzer is 3,8 seconds, then the stone cut the first Hog line.

13. t e c h n o Utilization To the launch one of the twosweepers active itsTimer Buzzerwhenthe stone iscutting the Back line. To the buz transmitted 3,8 seconds laterhevisualizes the position of the stone, whichisexpected to reach the Hog line if the launchissuccessful, for an equivalent time to 28,5 seconds bringing the stone to the Tee line. If at the buz the stone do not reach the Hog line, sweepersthen know thatthey must activatetheirbrushes to bring the stone to the target. It devolves to the sweepers to judge the stone speed. Sweepingenables to increase the distance travelled by the stone. Additionalevaluation The othersweeperenables the Timer Buzzeratthe Hog line. When the buz isheard, hevisualizesthe position of the stone to relate with a mark of referenceprovided on the ice. This observation gives an even more preciseevaluationof the place wherewill stop the stone as itacquiresits final momentum to the crossing of the first Hog line. It willallowappreciation withmore acuity the stone running and giveuseful guidance to the captain.

14. t e c h n o Conclusion The use of a fixed time Timer Buzzerisentirelyappropriate for specificmeasures of assessment. It has to beactivated to the Back line, it’s all. No need to read display, and since the device isdesigned to automatically return to the sleep state as soon as his buz emitted, no need to stop, itisalreadyready for future use. Sweepershave kepttheireyes on the stone and they are ready to intervene if neededwithoutwastingprecioustime. Delay or advance of the stone, relate to one or the otherreferencelines, willallowsweepers to quickly adjusttheir intervention. Withexperience, theywillbecome more and more accurate in theirevaluation. The Timer buzzerisincorporatedinto the high end of the brushbroomstick to easeits activation and permit to wellheard the buz. Dependingon the ice speed at the usual place of game, a Timer Buzzer of 3,8 seconds canbeused or otherwiseadjusted on request.
