Battery clock

The invention relates to a battery watch, in particular a pendulum clock with a battery that can be inserted into a side wall of the case »

Battery watches are known in which the battery is inserted through the wall of the watch case into a used inside the housing arranged bracket can be. The shark that takes the battery is often

πΗτττττ ** »rfr. fmi & C ". Vgsdign.Νγ.25Λ54 · ΒτπΉντττ H. nr

relatively difficult to access, so that the Clock has to be moved from its place, for example a wall clock has to be removed. That is particular uncomfortable with a pendulum clock because the case is then brought back into the vertical position got to. In addition, with the known clocks, either the battery is not particularly separated from the clockwork, then there is a risk that the clockwork will be damaged if the battery leaks, or a housing that encapsulates the work in particular is provided, which represents a relatively great effort.

The invention is based on the object of a battery watch with a simple holder for the battery to create, which is arranged inside the watch case, but is easily accessible from the outside, so that with a Changing the battery does not move the clock from its place, e.g. a wall clock does not have to be removed.

The invention is characterized in that the battery holder is integrated in a housing side wall

or replacing the battery allows, while at the same time in a simple way a shield of the clockwork against the battery is achieved.

The battery container is preferably made of an electrically insulating material, for example made of plastic. The battery container can have a part protruding below the lower edge of the insertion opening have as a collecting space for any escaping liquid. For this purpose, the battery case can be inserted in a vertical section thomboid-shaped with inside the housing and be designed downwardly inclined lower wall. A container holding the battery in a horizontally lying position can be used or a container holding the battery in a vertical position can be provided. The battery case is useful closed to the outside by a lid. The container and the deekel can for example be made from made of injection-molded plastic.

rather, the liquid will run out the watch case.

The invention is isi following with reference to the Drawing explained in more detail using two exemplary embodiments « In the drawing show:

Fig. 3-

Xa Figs. 1 and 2 is generally at 10 a wall clock, for example a pendulum clock, respectively. In a side wall 11 of the watch case an opening is provided into which a container 12 is inserted. This container 12 projects into the watch case 10 for the most part. It is open to the outside and can hardly be closed by a cover 13.

The container is preferably designed so

that a Tell IiLs under the Tater edge of the>. rnfghrSffnung enough so that calibration a building "14 shows the ge · give case * can hold the battery leakage, the leakage · de frlttsftigkftit, the" it can not in the inside tihrgshäase nor of the watch case run out *

The battery container 12 is designed in a vertical postnitlyrhomboid shape, as shown in FIG. The two wounds 12a and 12b run obliquely downwards from the insertion opening * To the rear, the container 12 is closed by the rear wall 12c.

The container 12 expediently consists of one electrically non-conductive material, for example made of plastic. The form chosen is just for one Plastic containers are particularly advantageous because this shape can be easily produced by injection molding. In The rear wall 12c has openings through which the contact tongues holding the battery reach A tongue 15 is shown in FIGS. 51 and 2 includes a part 15a, which is formed and recessed

holds the protruding positive pole of the battery. From The parts of the tongues protruding from the container 12 are connected to cables 1? connected, soft with the drive attitude for the watch are connected.

In dettt embodiment according to the Pig * 3 and 4, 20 again denotes a wall clock. This wall clock contains an opening in its side wall 21 > in which a battery container 22 is inserted, which a stick battery in vertical ;? Record location can. Here, too, a space 24 is created by the special shape of the container, which possibly from the Eatterie can absorb leaking liquid. The battery container 22 is closed by a lid 23, which, like the container 22, can consist of an electrically non-conductive material, for example made of plastic. The top wall is designated 22a, the bottom wall 22b, while 22c is the rear wall.

The bottom wall 22c also contains perforations 22a and 22e through which contact pins 25 and 27 extend. The upper contact tongue 25 is inside

of the battery case 22 is bent and contains a recess 25a, which is the protruding positive terminal of the battery 26 holds. The contact tongues 25 and 27 can with the Housing 22 be fastened by pins 22f and 22g molded thereon, as shown in FIG Ends of the slats 25 and 27 are connected to cables 28 and 28 connected to the drive circuit of the clock are connected*

In the embodiment according to Figures I and 2, in which the battery container 12 is the battery takes up in a horizontal position, there is a proportionate large space 14 for the inclusion of leaking * liquid, so that here a relatively slight inclination of the walls 12a and 12b is required. However, this execution requires a proportionate deep watch case.
