Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anzeigevorrichtung, insbesondere Uhr, Armband-, Tisch-, Stand-, Wanduhr, andere Anzeige oder dergleichen, mit einem Werk oder ähnlichem, das mit einer drehbaren Scheibe oder drehbarem Arm verbunden ist und mit einem Anzeigezifferblatt für die Wertangabe.The invention relates to a display device, in particular a watch, bracelet, table, stand, Wall clock, other display or the like, with a work or the like that with a rotatable disc or arm is connected and with a display dial for the Value specification.
Üblicherweise werden Anzeigevorrichtungen in Form von Zeigern und Zifferblättern, digitale Ziffern, Scheiben oder auch starre rotierende Punkte verwendet. Dabei liegen die Ablesepunkte z. B. das Spitzenende eines Zeigers oder der Punkt auf einer sich drehenden Scheibe, auf einer Kreisbahn mit konstantem Radius um den Anzeigezifferblattmittelpunkt bzw. der Anzeigevorrichtungsdrehachse.Typically, display devices in the form of hands and dials are digital Numerals, disks or even rigid rotating points are used. The reading points are located here e.g. B. the tip end of a pointer or the point on a rotating disc on one Circular path with constant radius around the center of the display dial or the Display device axis of rotation.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den Ablesepunkt variabel auf der gesamten zur Verfügung stehenden Fläche des Anzeigezifferblattes zu legen.The object of the invention is to make the reading point available variably on the whole standing area of the display dial.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses dadurch erreicht, daß in einer Scheibe (Fig. 1a) sich ein Schlitz, mit der Länge kleiner als der Radius der Scheibe, befindet. In diesem Schlitz wird eine Kugel (Fig. 3), mit einem Durchmesser größer als die Breite des Schlitzes, damit sie nicht durch den Schlitz fällt, so eingelegt, daß sie sich von außen zum Zentrum und umgekehrt bewegen kann. Diese Scheibe, in geeigneter Weise mit dem Antrieb verbunden, rotiert in gewohnter Art und Weise um den Mittelpunkt bzw. um die Antriebsachse. Über diese Scheibe wird das Anzeigezifferblatt (5), welches beliebig durchbrochen ist, in einem Abstand kleiner als der Durchmesser der Kugel, gelegt.According to the invention this is achieved in that there is a slot in a disk ( FIG. 1a) with a length smaller than the radius of the disk. In this slot, a ball ( Fig. 3) with a diameter larger than the width of the slot so that it does not fall through the slot is inserted so that it can move from the outside to the center and vice versa. This disk, suitably connected to the drive, rotates in the usual way around the center or around the drive axis. The display dial ( 5 ), which is perforated as desired, is placed over this disk at a distance smaller than the diameter of the ball.
Die Durchbrechung im Anzeigezifferblatt (5) hat die gleiche Breite wie der Schlitz in der Scheibe. Die Kugel muß dieser Durchbrechung beim Rotieren der Scheibe gezwungener Weise nachfolgen, dabei bewegt sie sich je nachdem in dem Schlitz von außen nach innen oder umgekehrt und zeigt in vorgegebener Art den Wert an.The opening in the dial ( 5 ) has the same width as the slot in the disc. The ball must follow this opening in a forced manner when the disk rotates, depending on whether it moves in the slot from the outside in or vice versa and displays the value in a predetermined manner.
Als Variante wäre anstatt der Scheibe ein Arm (Fig. 2a und 2b), ähnlich eines Zeigers, möglich. Alternativ zu der Kugel könnte man einen Stift (Fig. 4), dessen Dicke fast dem Durchmesser des Schlitzes entspricht, verwenden, der an den Enden so geformt ist, daß dieser am Schlitz der Scheibe (Fig. 1b) bzw. Arm (Fig. 2b) und dem Anzeigezifferblatt (5) halt findet. As a variant, an arm ( Fig. 2a and 2b), similar to a pointer, would be possible instead of the disk. As an alternative to the ball, a pin ( FIG. 4), the thickness of which almost corresponds to the diameter of the slot, could be used, which is shaped at the ends so that it is at the slot of the disk ( FIG. 1b) or arm ( FIG. 2b) and the display dial ( 5 ) stops.
Mögliche Gestaltung des durchbrochenen Anzeigezifferblattes wäre z. B. die Form eines Sternes (Fig. 6 in Verbindung mit der Kugel oder Fig. 7 in Verbindung mit dem Stift in Draufsicht), andere Designs für eine ästhetische Gestaltung sind denkbar.Possible design of the openwork dial would be e.g. B. the shape of a star ( Fig. 6 in connection with the ball or Fig. 7 in connection with the pin in plan view), other designs for an aesthetic design are conceivable.
Bei einer weiteren Variante, kann der Arm oder die Scheibe fix sein und über ihr das durchbrochene Anzeigezifferblatt, in geeigneter Weise mit einem Werk oder ähnlichem verbunden, sich rotierend bewegen, so daß die Kugel bzw. der Stift der Durchbrechung des sich drehenden Anzeigezifferblattes folgend den jeweiligen Wert anzeigt.In another variant, the arm or the disc can be fixed and the one above it Openwork dial, suitably with a movement or the like connected, move in rotation, so that the ball or pin of the opening of the rotating display dial shows the respective value.
