Abstract
A clock which comprises a clock face, a casing, and a clock mechanism positioned within the casing. In accordance with this invention the casing defines separable walls, and latch means for retaining the walls in an integral, casing-defining position, with the latch means being openable to allow separation of the walls. A striker member is operatively connected through a linkage to the latch means whereby striking of the striker member can open the latch means to permit the walls to move from their integral, casing-defining position to their separated positions.
