Wrist watch

The innovation relates to a wristwatch with a single-line digital display.

Wristwatches of this type are already known as the state of the art, whose digital displays are arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the wristwatch. This has the disadvantage that there is only a narrow area to accommodate the digital display, so that, for example, information which go beyond the pure time, such as the day and month, can no longer be accommodated. Do you want include this additional information, the watch will be too misshapen and therefore too impractical. These well-known wristwatches can furthermore be designed in such a way that the single-line digital display has a field of view which is arranged at an angle to the base plane of the clock in order to enable reading of the information to facilitate. But here too there is the disadvantage that the available field of view is necessarily too short is.

The task of the present innovation, on the other hand, is to create a wristwatch with a single-line digital display, which is designed so that a large amount of information can be accommodated.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the single-line Digital display is arranged obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the wristwatch. This has the advantage that on easy Way, an eight to twelve digit digital display can be accommodated without the wristwatch becoming too large makes necessary.

In a further embodiment of the innovation, the single-line digital display can be arranged at an angle between 35 and 55 obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the wristwatch. This digital display can run diagonally on the wristwatch from top left to bottom right, which considerably improves readability _s

will.

In the case of a wristwatch that has a raised position compared to the ground plane Has field of view for the digital display, the field of view can run diagonally to the longitudinal axis, se that here too! is made considerably easier by the readability of the information, with sufficient space available in the field of vision,

to accommodate a large amount of information. ^s :

In a further embodiment of the innovation, the upper Beräch j the wristwatch a housing for receiving the watch elements on | show ,, with the lower area designed as a flat plate is. This flat plate can also be designed as an information carrier, for example have an engraving. In a further refinement of the innovation, the housing can be provided with solar cells on the top, which makes it easy to use Way results in an appropriate energy supply. This also does not affect the structure of the watch.

In a further embodiment of the innovation, it is possible, for example to train the upper and lower areas of the wristwatch as a self-contained oval shape, so that the Modern watch, for example, also as a ladies watch or as Jewelry item is suitable.

It is also possible to design the watch area as a narrow box, with the bracelet parts via curved holding elements are to be attached.

The innovation is described in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. In the Drawing show:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of the wrist watch;

Fig. 2 is a side view of the wristwatch of Fig. 1;

The wristwatch 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a wristband part 2, a bracelet part 3 and a watch area 4. A single-line digital display 5 is arranged in the clock area 4. This The single-line digital display 5 runs at an angle to the longitudinal axis A-A of the wristwatch 1.

Here, the position of the single-line digital display 5 can be at an angle between 35 and 55 ° obliquely to the longitudinal axis A-A Wrist watch 1 be arranged. This single-line digital display 5 can be seen on a field of view 6, in the present case The example shows that the time is 1:27 p.m. and 03 seconds and that the day is Tuesday the 21st of that month. Due to the inclination

With the digital display, a large amount of information can be easily accommodated on the digital, without this watch being too misshapen.

As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the field of view 6 is inclined, as a result of which the readability is considerably improved.

From Fig. 2 and 3, the curvature of the watch area can also be seen, which is roughly based on the average curve of a wrist.

The domed watch area 4 is divided into an upper area 7 and a lower area 10, this subdivision takes place through the inclined field of view 6. The upper area 7 here has the housing 8 for receiving the in Figure 3 Clock elements shown only by way of example, whereas the lower region 10 is designed as a flat plate 11.

On the flat plate 11, for example, further information, Engravings or decorative elements may be present. There is also the possibility, as shown in FIG. 1, of providing the housing 8 on the top with solar cells 12, which provide the energy serve without the structural effort of the renovation Zoom in digital clock.

As can be seen from Fig. 1, the single-line digital display runs 5 obliquely from top left to bottom right, so that the displayed on the field of view is very easy to read Information from the digital clock results, this field of view being a has sufficient length due to the diagonal position to accommodate a large amount of information.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the clock area is 4 designed as a narrow box which carries the field of view 12. This narrow box shows in the front Area the field of view 6, with the possibility of being—

stelrt ^ to attach solar cells 12 on top of the box. About curved holding elements 14, which can be designed as a bracket, the bracelet parts 2 and 3 with the Clock area 4 connected.

In Fig. 5, a further possible embodiment of the innovation is shown, a ladies' wristwatch being thought of here. The upper area 7, moreover the clock area 4, as well as the lower area 10 are designed as a self-contained, oval shape on which the inclined field of view is arranged. This oval area is connected to the bracelet part 2 and bracelet part 3 at the top and bottom. Again is it is possible to provide the lower area 10, which is designed as a flat plate 11, with decorative elements.

In Fig. 6 it is shown what shape the digital clock according to the innovation can have when the field of view is under a win-IeI from approx. 55 ° to the longitudinal axis A-A. In the embodiment according to Fig. 7 runs the field of view 6 of the watch area at an angle of 45, whereas in the embodiment 8, the field of view 6 is inclined at an angle of 35 to the longitudinal axis A-A of the wristwatch 1.
