摘要

A mode selection arrangement for use in a timer includes a gear box and a printed circuit board provided at the back of the gear box. Predetermined contact patterns are formed on a face of the printed circuit board facing the gear box. Rotatably provided in the gear box are display gears and switch gears. Each display gear has a plurality of indicia depicted on its face, and the corresponding switch gear rotates operatively or integrally with the display gear. A sliding contact member is fixedly attached to each switch gear, so that the sliding contact member slidingly contacts the corresponding contact pattern. A front plate having windows formed therein is provided to close the gear box so that the indicia are displayed through the windows.
