DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTIONS
[029] Accordingly, the present invention relates to a shake agitator for electroplating of watch hands. The agitator is used in electroplating process to provide necessary movements to the target objects that is held inside the electrolyte. Agitator is capable of providing movements in vertical direction and also can provide necessary rotating angle to accomplish the perfect electroplating process. To maintain consistent finish and thickness in plaiting we use customized agitator for watch hands. The watch hands are placed in a basket which is thin fixed on the basket holder in the agitator.
[030] Referring to the figure 1 and 2, the shake agitator according to the present invention for electroplating of watch hands is in the form of a box housing (11) enclosing all the electrical and mechanical devices. It contains all electrical components and mechanical movement for agitation. The casing of the machine is made of Stain less steel with Poly urethane coating. Inside of this contains the required PCB boards and agitation assembly. A basket holder attachment which is connected the agitation motor by the use of linear bearing. Agitation movement is created by the combination of a DC Geared with booster for rotary movement, and vertical movement is done by using a solenoid which when actuated moves up and down.
[031] The basket holder which is connected to a shaft has pulley and the other end of the shaft is connected to a solenoid. The shaft is fixed on to the assembly using linear bearing. The solenoid makes this assembly move up and down. The pulley which is on the shaft is connected using a belt to another pulley which is mounted on to a DC geared motor with booster. So when the motor rotates the same motion is transfer on the basket holding shaft thus it rotates and the solenoid makes the assembly move up and down simultaneously.

[032] Mounting 12 helps to assemble between cross hanging beam form from the plating baths and agitator machine. Tt is made of Stain less steel and cushioned by rubber pads
[033] Front Panel 13 consists of operating functions keys, Start stop buttons 13A, and power button 13B, running time indicator, pause button 13C, navigation 13D, alarm button, alarm indicator 13E and LCD display.
[034] Basket holder 14 holds the hands basket, which attached to agitator shaft The LCD Screen 15 on the front of Agitator displays the following information Shaker hold up time , Shaker hold down time , Shaker pause time, Shaker count, RPM, Angle of rotation, Alarm time, LED light ON/ OFF
[035] All the electrical and mechanical devices are enclosed in box housing. The motor with agitating mechanism is fixed at the bottom. The top of the machine is fixed with a coupling to clamp the agitator to the plating bath. The front of the machine has all the function keys and program selection keys. The machine has a LCD display for easy access. Each new program setting can be stored in the machine for different types of agitating requirement. The program can be easily retrieved and can be repeated by pressing start button during production. This saves time for the operator during production.
[036] The hands are fixed basket to the basket holder, switch on power button and select operating function on control panel (Fl, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, and F8) LED On/Off (F8) shows the status of LED light fitted on the bottom side of device. By default it is turned off. Pressing the LED button on the device will toggles the LED.
[037] Alarm time (F7) shows the alarm time, alarm time decreases on each second and enables the buzzer when the alarm time reaches zero

[038] Rotating Angle (F6) determines the degree of rotation of the holder. On reaching the specified angle of rotation, shaft changes its direction to opposite and rotates.
[039] Motor RPM (F5) so that user can set the motor speed of rotation by means of setting the RPM.
[040] Shake count (F4) The shaker completes one full cycle when it goes down and came to its normal position. This Shake count field indicates how many number of cycles for which the shaker to work continuously.
[041] Shake Pause time (F3) - By the completion of shake count that user given, then shaker remains in its default position for the Shake pause time specified. After that device again continues its shake operation for the mentioned shake count, shake hold up and shake hold down time
[042] Shaker Hold down time (F2) -This indicates how much time the cup holder is hold inside the electrolyte.
[043] Shaker Hold up time (Fl)- This field indicates how much time the cup holder is hold above the electrolyte level.
[044] Run time Indicates the time for which being the device is running. Automatically stops counting when the pause button pressed. When again the start button is pressed after device stopped, this field reset to zero.
[045] Once operating setting and time of operation is done save the setting, and press start button then hands basket starts to agitate, Once operation completed agitator turns off automatically, and stars the alarm. During the next cycle the operator can just press the start button to repeat the program.
