Abstract

The battery-operated quartz watch has a lia. crystal, or light-emitting diode, analogue display. The analogue display employs a respective set of point or line display elements arranged in a circle for the hours, minutes and seconds. Pref. the face of the watch has concentric sets of display elements which may each comprise distinct points or radial lines, one element of each set energised selectively to indicate the hours, minutes, etc. The analogue time display may be combined with a digital calendar display.

Description

Uhr, insbesondere Armbanduhr mit einem elektrochemischenClock, in particular wristwatch with an electrochemical

Element und einem Schwingquarz o.dgl.Element and a quartz crystal or the like.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Uhr, insbesondere eine mittels eines elektrochemischen Primär- oder Sekundär.lements b.-triebene und mittels eines Schwingquarzes o.dgl. gesteuerte Armbanduhr, o.dgl., milIIssigkristall- bzw. "Fleld-Effekt"-Anzeige, sogenannter LCD-Anzei6e (Liquid Crystal Display) und/oder Mini-Leucht-Dioden-Anzeige, sogenannter LED-Anzeige (Light Emitting Diods) Die Erfindung besieht sioh vorrangig auf von Personen mitte führte Uhren, wie Armband-, Taschen- und Medaillonuhren.The invention relates to a clock, in particular one by means of an electrochemical Primary or secondary elements b.-driven and by means of an oscillating crystal or the like. controlled wristwatch or the like, milIIssigkristall- or "field effect" display, so-called LCD display (Liquid Crystal Display) and / or mini-light-emitting diode display, so-called LED display (Light Emitting Diods) The invention is primarily based on People in the middle carried watches such as wrist, pocket and medallion watches.

Bekannte Armbanduhren mit LCD- und/oder LED-Anzeige weisen zum Zweck der Ablesbarkeit bzw. Anzeige erregbare Marken auf, die in jeweiliger Zusammenstellung und Anordnung zueinander Ziffern oder Buchstaben ergeben. Derartige Uhren besitzen somit Digitalanzeige. Sie haben den erheblichen Vorteil keinerlei meohanisch bewegte und damit einem mögliohen Verschleiß unterworfene Teile zu besitzen, abgesehen von dem Schalter zur Betätigung der LED-Anzeige.Known wristwatches with LCD and / or LED display point to the purpose the readability or display excitable marks, which in the respective combination and arrangement to one another result in digits or letters. Own such watches thus digital display. You have the considerable advantage of not being mechanically moved and thus to have parts subject to possible wear, apart from the switch to operate the LED display.

Es gibt zahlreiche Einsatzfälle von Uhren, bei denen die Digi talanzeige, also die bezugfreie Ablesbarkeit eines Uhrzeitwertes vorteilhaft ist, beispielsweise bei Allgemeinuhren auf einem Flugplatz oder bei wissenschaftlichen und technischen bzw. industriellen Einrichtungen und schließlich in den Fällen, in denen eine abgelesene Uhrzeit in Form von Ziffern weiterverwendet, eingegeben oder aufgezeichnet wird.There are numerous applications of watches in which the digital display, so the unrelated readability of a time value is advantageous, for example for general clocks an airfield or scientific and technical or industrial facilities and finally in the cases in which a read time is used in the form of digits or is recorded.

Fur eine persönliche Verwendung bedeutet aber vielen Menschen die Uhr und deren Anzeige nioht nur die Angabe eines absoluten oder effektiven Zeitwertes sondern auch eine Zeitmarke innerhalb eines Zeitbereichs. Für diesen letztgenannten Zweck ist die Digitalanzeige nicht geeignet, weil sie zur Einordnung des Benutzers in einen Zeitbereich zunächst eines weiteren Gedankenschrittes bzw. einer Übersetzung bedarf.For a personal use, however, means to many people that Clock and its display do not only indicate an absolute or effective time value but also a time stamp within a time range. For the latter The purpose of the digital display is not suitable because it is used to classify the user in a time domain initially of a further thought step or a translation requirement.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Uhr zu schaffen, die die Vorteile von mechanischen bewegten Teilen freier Uhren mit denen von Uhren mit Analoganzeige in sich vereinigt.The invention has for its object to provide a clock that the advantages of mechanical moving parts of free clocks with those of clocks with Analog display united in itself.

Bei einer eingangs beschriebenen Uhr, insbesondere bei einer Armbanduhr, ist diese Aufgabe naoh der Erfindung daduroh gelöst, daß die LCD- und/oder D-Signale korrespondierend zu einem eine Stunden-, Minuten- und ggf. Sekundenteilung enthaltenden Teilkreis, wie bei einem Ziffernblatt herkömmlicher Uhren, in Form einfacher Signale oder Marken, wie - radiale -Striche, Punkte o.dgl., je flir sich in einem Kreisring an6eordnet sind, derart, daß sioh durch Wandern der Erregung der Marken in den einzelnen Kreisringen - bei LDD-Anzeig- bei B-tätigung des Schalters - eine Analoganzeige ergibt. Vorteilhaft sind die Kreisringe konzentrisch angeordnet.In the case of a watch described above, in particular a wrist watch, this object is achieved naoh the invention in that the LCD and / or D signals corresponding to one containing a division of hours, minutes and possibly seconds Partial circle, like the face of conventional clocks, in the form of simple signals or marks such as - radial - lines, points or the like, each in a circular ring are arranged in such a way that by wandering the excitement of the marks in the individual Circular rings - with LDD display - with B actuation of the switch - an analog display results. The circular rings are advantageously arranged concentrically.

Die erfindungsgemäß Lösung gestattet beispielsweise eine Ausgestaltung, bei der die Stunden und Minuten analog und gemäß der Erfindung in den Kreisringen und das Datum sowie ggf. der Wochentag digital angezeigt werden. Die Anzeige der Sekunden kann dabei nach der Erfindung in einem Kreisring angeordneten Marken vorbehalten sein oder digital erfolgen, wobei auch eine Kombination beider Ausbildun4en denkbar erscheint.The solution according to the invention allows, for example, an embodiment in which the hours and minutes analogously and according to the invention in the circular rings and the date and, if applicable, the day of the week are displayed digitally. The display of the Seconds can be arranged according to the invention in a circular ring Trademarks reserved or digital, with a combination of both Training seems conceivable.
