-A-

The invention relates to a clock radio with an electronic one Clock part and a radio part that can be electrically coupled with it.

Such clock radios have proven themselves well in practice and are used in a large number of households. In particular, it has been shown that / 3 the time-dependent switching of the radio part is independent of the manual intervention of the Operator is very much appreciated by consumers. In the course of further streamlining the housework comes It is important to mechanize them to a large extent and thus subject them to a control process.

The object of the present invention is therefore to provide the watch radio of the kind mentioned in the introduction so that it is used in the sense of rationalizing the budget can be.

This object is achieved in that with the clock part is electrically connected to a time-dependent controllable circuit that is switched independently of the radio part and can be controlled by a time tap that can be set permanently in the watch part.

This circuit is electronically controlled precisely by the clock part. Compared to conventional clockworks, the clock part works very precisely without maintenance, so that with time deviations does not need to be calculated. There is no noise pollution, so that the clock radio can also be used in Sleeping quarters can be used. It works about it addition, largely without human intervention, so that it is very reliable once it is set for a specific time is. The direct electronic control saves expensive and fragile translation units, see above that the entire system remains small and clear.

The circuit is also for non-expert users safe to use and can be inserted in. ready for operation. The combination with the radio part enables it to be done at the same time Operation without the need for time-consuming switchovers. In view of the electronically controlled circuit, there is no need to do without the radio, which starts at the usual hour.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention is a relay actuated by the pulse of the clock part is provided to control the circuit. With this relay you can also large currents can be switched, so that the time-dependent Control via the clock part is independent of the consumer provided in the circuit. Except for lighting fixtures For example, heaters, cooking and other kitchen appliances can be placed in the circuit. The impulse given by the watch part is sufficient in any case to To switch relays.

Further details of the invention emerge from the detailed description below and the attached Drawings showing a preferred embodiment of the Invention example is illustrated.

In the drawings show:

Figure 1: a circuit diagram of a clock radio and

Figure 2: a front view of a clock radio with built-in lighting fixture.

A clock radio essentially consists of a clock part 1 and a radio part 2. The two parts are electrically connected via control lines 3, 4 in such a way that the radio part 2 from the clock part 1 can be switched on and off.

In the radio part 2 there is a receiver part 5, which is about

a controlled 6 with the help of a rotary knob 7 manually

can be controlled. It has an output 8 to which a loudspeaker 9 is connected.

In the clock part 1 is a timer 10 and a time display intended. In the time display 11, the time indicated by the timer is digitally displayed. In addition, you can from an alarm part 12 via the control lines 3, 4 control pulses depending on the respective time display 11 of the clock part 1 can be submitted. These control pulses are fed directly to the radio part without them be strengthened or changed in their control function. Two switches 13, 14 are provided in the control line 3. The switch 14 lying next to the radio part 2 is coupled to a switch 15, which is in the closed state the clock part 1 connects to the radio part 2 for the purpose of automatic control of the radio part 2 and the one in the open State the radio part 2 switches off the clock part Ί so that the radio part 2 can only be operated manually. The coupling of the two switches 14 and 15 causes the switch 14 is closed when the switch 15 is a electrical connection between the clock part 1 and the radio part 2 for the purpose of automatic operation of the Radio part 2 is produced. The switch 14 is opened when the electrical switch 15 is used Connection between the clock part 1 and the radio part 2 opened for the purpose of manual operation of the radio part 2 will.

By operating the switch 13 it is possible to make a selection to determine whether the radio part 2 is only used as an alarm clock at the alarm time specified by the alarm clock part 12 or as a recipient of radio broadcasts. In its one switching position, the clock part 1 switches on the time indicated by the alarm clock part 12 the receiver part 5 so that the program received by the receiver part 5 is broadcast through the loudspeaker 9. In the other

The switch position is in addition to the receiver part · 5 a wake-up pulse is switched to the loudspeaker 9 so that it emits an alarm tone.

To switch this alarm function, a switch 16 is on Clock radio provided. With this switch 16 is the Alarm function switched on or off.

The alarm time is preselected with the aid of a button By pressing this button, the wake-up time can be changed to the Alarm part12 can be entered. At the same time, the alarm time is digitally displayed on the time display 11.

In addition, there is another button 1S on the ear piece 1 intended. This button is used to activate a time interval entry. This time interval specification is used with the aim of creating a switch impulse at the end of the time interval so that the time from entering the time interval can be precisely determined until the switching pulse is triggered.

There are two more buttons on the clock part 19, 20, with the aid of which the clock part 1 of the respective Local time can be confessed accordingly. With With the help of the shower 19, the setting can be made quickly ·, "with" - / - '. Use the switch 20 to adjust the setting slowly and precisely to the respective local time. Gunner a dimmer switch 21 is also provided with which the lighting the time display 11 light · or · dark · can be admitted.

At the same time, with the aid of the clock part 1, a circuit is also created 22 controlled, in which ais consumer for example a G ^ l ^ ampe 23 ^ egen. This circuit 22 is switched by a relay 24, which in an immediate from the clock part 1 controlled control circuit 25 lies. In this way it is achieved that simultaneously with the control

030011/0150

of the radio part 2, the circuit 22 can also be controlled. For example, it is possible to simultaneously use the Radio part 2 to switch the circuit 22 on or off.

In addition, an alarm switch 26 can also be built into the circuit 22. When the alarm switch 26 is closed At the same time as the circuit 22, the alarm circuit of the loudspeaker 9 is also actuated.

The control circuit 25 is coupled directly to the electronic part of the alarm clock part 12. In this way can control pulses emitted by the alarm clock part 12 directly can be used to control the circuit 22. As a result of this direct engagement in the alarm clock part 12 ist.es possible, the circuit of the control circuit 25 largely inertia and with the accuracy of the electronic Watch part 1.

In addition, there is an on / off switch 2 7 in the circuit 22 provided, with the help of which the circuit 22 can be closed directly. This on-off switch 27 is bridged to the extent that the relay 24, so that the incandescent lamp 23 can be switched independently of the relay 24.

The incandescent lamp 23 can be combined with the clock radio in one structural unit and, for example, in one with this Furniture can be installed. But it is also possible to connect the circuit 22 to the consumer it supplies to accommodate a separate housing 28, depending on the installation needs occurring separately or together with the Clock radio is mounted. In particular, a shape of the housing 28 has been found to be expedient, which with the clock radio in a kit. In this case, the housing 28 is adapted to the shape of a housing 29, in which, for example, an additional loudspeaker for a stereo system can be installed. That way becomes a elegant housing combination created.

Instead of an incandescent lamp 23, all conceivable others can be used Loads are placed in the circuit 22. It is particularly important to remember that heaters or cooking appliances are supplied by the circuit 22. When the circuit 22 is switched on, for example, the heating is in operation set and the cooking process initiated in a saucepan.
