Abstract

The dial markings (6) for a clock face are ach formed as a transparent raster marked on the clock face and a further raster or reflective structure marked on a disc (5) positioned in front or behind the clock face. The disc (5) is movable relative to the clock face, so that interference between the two overlying rasters causes the dial markings (6) to appear to move or glimmer. The disc (5) may be coupled for rotation with the clock seconds hand (4) and is pref. of transparent glass, with spaced radial raster lines around its peripheral edge.

Description

Interferierende Anzeige-Symbole für Uhren-Zifferblätter.Interfering display symbols for watch dials.

Die Erfindung betrifft Anzeige-Symbole für Uhren-Zifferblätter, deren Erkennbarkeit durch alternierende Interferenz- oder Reflexionseffekte erhöht ist.The invention relates to display symbols for watch dials, their Recognition is increased by alternating interference or reflection effects.

Uei Analog-Uhren gibt es bekannterweise eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, die Erkennbarkeit der Symbole auf Zifferblättern zu steigern. ilierzu gehdren beispielsweise Symbolgröße, Farbe, Beleuchtung, Reflexions- und Fluoreszenzeigenschaften etc.As is well known, there are a multitude of possibilities for analog clocks Increase the visibility of symbols on watch faces. These include, for example Symbol size, color, lighting, reflection and fluorescence properties, etc.

Neben diesen und weiteren bekannten Maßnahmen gibt es bisher keine Technik, die die Intensität des optischen Bildes der Anzeige-Symbole periodisch so ändert, daß diese einen Interferenz- oder Flimmereffekt zeigen, obwohl doch das menschliche Auge gerade für kleine Intensitätsschwankungen besonders empfindlich wäre.In addition to these and other known measures, there have not yet been any Technique that periodically increases the intensity of the optical image of the display symbols changes so that they show an interference or flicker effect, although it does the human eye is particularly sensitive to small fluctuations in intensity were.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, zur Erhöhung der Erkennbarkeit von Zifferblatt-Symbolen, diese flimmernd oder interferierend - also sich in sich selbst bewegend - erscheinen zu lassen.The invention is therefore based on the object of increasing the recognizability of dial symbols, these flickering or interfering - so in themselves self moving - to make it appear.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß beispielsweise die Anzeige-Symbole auf dem Zifferblatt durchsichtig und mit einer feinrasterigen Struktur versehen sind, soda: eine unmittelbar dahintcr bewegte Scheibe mit ähnlicher Struktur Interfcrenzfiguren oder einen Flimmereffekt erzeugen kann.This object is achieved in that, for example the display symbols on the dial are transparent and with a fine grid Structure are provided, so: a disk moving directly behind it with a similar Structure can produce interference figures or a flicker effect.

Die Erkennbarkeit des Flimmer- oder Interferenz-Effektes kann bei glasklarer Drehscheibe-weiterhin durch Verwendung gut reflektierender Flächen hinter den Anzeige-Symbolen oder durch Ausleuchtung mit Licht verbessert werden.The recognizability of the flicker or interference effect can be crystal-clear turntable-continued through the use of well-reflective surfaces behind the display symbols or by illumination with light.

Außerdem läßt sich die bewegte Scheibe in vorteilhafter Weise bauchdünn oder als Segment herstellen, sodaß sie wegen ihrer geringen Masse ohne Schwierigkeit an die Antriebswelle des Sekundenzeigers -selbst einer Batterieuhr - angekoppelt werden kann.In addition, the moving disk can advantageously be belly thin or as a segment, so that they are easy to use because of their low mass Coupled to the drive shaft of the second hand - itself a battery clock can be.

In schematischer Weise zeigt Fig. 1 bis 3 eine mögliche Ausführungsform für interferierende Anzeige-Symbole : Fig. 1 zeigt im Querschnitt ein Anzeige-System einer Analoguhr mit Zifferblatt (1), Stunden- (3), Minuten- (2), Sekundenzeiger (4) und Anzeigesymbolen (6). Patentgemäß ist hinter den anzeigesymbolen (6) eine glasklare Drehscheibe (5) an die Sekundenzeiger-Antriebswelle angekoppelt.1 to 3 show a possible embodiment in a schematic manner for interfering display symbols: FIG. 1 shows a display system in cross section an analog clock with dial (1), hour (3), minute (2), second hand (4) and display symbols (6). According to the patent, behind the display symbols (6) is a crystal-clear turntable (5) coupled to the second hand drive shaft.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Aufsicht auf ein Analog-Uhren-Zifferblatt, dessen Anzeige-Symbole (6) durchsichtig und patentgemäß bspw. mit Strichen strukturiert sind.Fig. 2 shows the plan view of an analog watch dial, its Display symbols (6) transparent and structured according to the patent, for example with lines are.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine patentgemäß, glasklare Drehscheibe (5), die auf einem äußeren Streifen ebenfalls eine Strichstruktur aufweist, die bei Bewegung unmittelbar hinter den Anzeige-Symbolen (6) in diesen sich bewegende Interferenzfiguren erzeugt.Fig. 3 shows a patent according to, crystal-clear turntable (5), which on an outer strip also has a line structure that when moved immediately behind the display symbols (6) in these moving interference figures generated.
