Abstract

The utility model relates to a clock, comprising a main body of a clock machine core provided with a rotating hour and minute pointer, and a light source positioned at the front of the pointer so as to form respective image on a plane at the back of the pointer around the main body, and thereby, the time is indicated. The pointer towards the light source is bended or folded, and is crossed with the light emitted by the light source. The pointer can be transparent or colored so as to form the differentiable image.

Description

Clock

The utility model relates to a kind of clock, and it is equipped with a light source and utilizes image to come the demonstration time.

Light source is housed and utilizes image to show that the clock of time is known, for example in sequence number 4,253, disclosed in 170 United States Patent (USP)s.The clock of this prior art has straight hour hands, minute hand and a light source that is provided with previously at pointer, so that utilize the image that forms on the wall of clock back separately to show the time.It is found that because the structure of pointer, its image result displayed is clear inadequately and outstanding.

The purpose of this utility model is to provide a kind of clock, and it can alleviate or relax this defective at least.

According to the clock that provides in the utility model, its comprise one have rotation the time and divide the clock movement of pointer and the main body that a light source constitutes, this light source is positioned at the front of pointer, so that on the plane of pointer back, center on this main body formation image separately with instruction time, it is characterized in that described pointer is that the light that bending or warpage ground send towards light source so that with light source intersects.

Preferably, main body comprises a light source retaining element, thereby produces on described plane with reference to image, easily readout time.

Preferablely be, main body comprises four said retaining elements that are provided with by the isogonism position, on said plane, producing with reference to image, thus readout time easily.

In an ad hoc structure, main body is made of the pedestal of a fixed clock movement and the cover of a fixed light source, and this pedestal and cover are bound up in equidistant mode by retaining element.

Preferably, clock movement has the axle of a rotary indicator, and this axle and light source are on same straight line.

This clock is applicable to and is being provided with on the surface on said plane.

In a preferred embodiment, at least one pointer is transparent and colored substantially.

Preferablely be, said at least one pointer is made of a base part and a substantially transparent and a colored part by the base part supporting, and said base part is bending or warpage.

As an optional feature, equal angles markers at interval is housed on the cover so that read time.

Preferably, the position of each markers arrangement can be illuminated by light source.

Its superiority of clock of the present utility model is and the similar clock of prior art is compared, and it can be clearer and the image of display pointer highlightedly.

Below only by way of example mode with reference to accompanying drawing the utility model is described in more detail, wherein

Fig. 1 is the side view according to the part section of an embodiment who is used for the clock on the wall of the present utility model;

Fig. 2 is the skeleton view of the time indicator of clock among Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is the front elevation of the clock of Fig. 1, shows on the wall by the schedule of proportion that dwindles to show the time with image.

Consult accompanying drawing, be shown with among the figure and embody clock 10 of the present utility model, clock 10 comprises cylindrical base 11 and circular enclosure 12 usually.Cover 12 side direction transversal section with a parabola shaped hollow.Cover 12 utilizes 4 to be connected on the pedestal 11 by coaxial manner around the periphery of the pedestal 11 axially extended bar 13 by the equal angles setting.Place the clock 10 that uses on the wall 9, pedestal 11 is fixed on the wall 9 by a screw 8, makes the axle of whole clock 10 leave wall 9 horizontal-extendings.

Pedestal 11 comprises a battery powered clock movement (not shown), and it is provided with clock axle 14, and its center with pedestal 11 front sides 15 is coaxial and stretch out in the face of covering 12.During clock axle 14 supporting rotation, minute, second pin 16 to 18, thereby in 15 last instruction times of front side of pedestal.Each pointer 16 to 18 is made of a metal sill strip 23 that has 4 edge-on lug 23A at free end and a colourful transparent plastics pointer 24, utilizes the lug 23A that leans against pointer 24 rear end bendings to make pointer 24 be connected to the free end of bonding jumper 23.Bonding jumper 23 is bending or warpage, so that pointer 24 is spent greater than 45 with the inclined at acute angles degree that depart from pedestal front side 15.The shape difference and the color of the pin 24 of pointer 16 to 18 are respectively red, green and blue.

Cover 12 has a thin-walled 19, and comprises a lateral wall 12A and the front side 15 madial wall 12B towards pedestal 11, passes connecting link 13 between sidewall 15 and 12B.One bulb 21 utilizes a lamp socket 22 to be contained on the center of madial wall 12B of cover.Bulb 21 with coaxial manner location and towards pedestal front side 15 and with clock axle 14 on a line.Pedestal front side 15 (comprising clock pointer 16 to 18) and bulb 21 all are hidden in the cover 12, therefore can't see above-mentioned object from the front of whole clock 10.

The edge of cover thin-walled 19 is formed with the aperture 19A of 12 isogonisms by each location interval distribution in 5 minutes.Transparent plastic markers 20 is passed each respective aperture 19A and is placed, and utilizes 21 irradiations of inner bulb, with last 12 positions of 5 minutes of lateral wall 12A of identifying cover 12 as internal reference, readout time easily.The edge of cover thin-walled 19, except that 4 15 minutes positions in

other words

12,3,6 and 9 locate, integral body is provided with 8 inner profile of tooth parts and lays respectively at other each position of 5 minutes.

Clock 10 is such location on wall 9, and 4 bars 13 are placed on top, the right side, the end and left position respectively, and is corresponding with 12,3,6 and 9 position.Based on such orientation, clockwork the time, minute, second pin 16 to 18 can cooperate and read correct time.

In use, bulb 21 is penetrated light around on 4 bars, is connected on the image 13s that radially extends that produces around the pedestal 11 separately so that tighten at wall 9.The image 13s of bar indicates 12,3,6 and 9 position on wall 9, form the image clock surface of going in ring as external reference, to be easy to time for reading.Bulb 21 forms 8 relatively images of short each profile of tooth part 19B respectively around the clock surface on wall 9, to identify each remaining 5 minutes position, be convenient to time for reading.

Clock pin 16 to 18 is warpages towards bulb 21, and the light that is used for sending with bulb 21 intersects, and forms image 16s that 3 pointers 24 radially extend separately to 18s on the wall that is right after around the pedestal 11.By to clock surface that impinges upon the band image on the wall 9 and/or the markers time for reading that illuminates on cover 12, pointer image 16s identifies the current time to 18s.Pointer 24 is made with separately the image 16s of being easy to be distinguished from each other to 18s by different length/width and color.

It is contemplated that for example, clock 10 itself can have one to provide a flat surface around the collar flange of pedestal 11, it is used to receive image 13s, 16s to 18s and 19s with the demonstration time demonstration time on the wall behind the clock not.And the markers that is illuminated 20 of installing is chosen wantonly on cover 12.

The utility model only has been described by way of example; do not breaking away under the prerequisite of the protection domain of stipulating in the claims that proposed of the present utility model, can carry out other various improvement and/or replacement to the embodiment that is introduced by person skilled in the art.
