    (54) Method to use desired parts of the cycle times in programmer devices, and the relative devices


    (57) Method to use desired parts of specific established cycle times in programmer devices of the type normally called "timers", whereby there are included a cams assembly and a timing assembly that determines the times and conditions the movement of the cams assembly, the timing assembly including a thermostop assembly suitable to halt momentarily the movement of the timing assembly when a thermostop contact (43) is connected, in which method a specific additional external switch (145) is actuated to use desired parts of a specific established cycle time and remains active in relation to the thermostop assembly (40) for a minimum defined time when a first normally open contact (46) relating to that specific established cycle time is actuated by a specific cam (47).
    Programmer device of the type called a "timer", which comprises a cams assembly and a timing assembly that determines and conditions the movement of the cams assembly, the timing assembly including a thermostop assembly suitable to halt momentarily the movement of the timing assembly, in which device in parallel with the line feeding the thermostop (40) and comprising at least a thermostop contact (43) there are included in series an additional external switch (145) with normally closed contacts and a first normally open contact (46) associated with a specific cam (47) of the specific established cycle time of which desired parts are to be used.
