Definitions

  • the invention relates to a radio clock according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a radio clock is not to be understood as a radio or television receiver or person pager (for example worn on the arm), which can additionally be equipped with a clock; but a receiver for the periodically transmitted coded absolute time information, which decodes this information and displays it.
  • the receiver is additionally equipped with a time-keeping circuit in order to continue the time display even during intervals in which - due to the receiver being switched off to save energy or due to transmission errors - no valid time information is received.
  • Valid time information is, in particular, one that meets certain plausibility conditions; this is the case, for example, if two time information items received in succession have exactly the known and known time difference.
  • the bracelet sleeve is expediently not attached directly to the wristwatch housing, contrary to the conventional web linkage, but to a connector for the strain-relieved and watertight mechanical and electrical connection to the housing and at least in front of the hose opening for the passage of the antenna cable a connecting pin leading to the receiver of the clock circuit.
  • the socket carrier holding web also expediently accommodates a strip-shaped antenna carrier which has a pulling eye on the opposite side in order to be able to pull it into the interior of the bracelet tube through a narrow mounting opening on the inside of the bracelet on the inside of the bracelet using a thin tool.
  • the flexible insulating material carrier of a laminated antenna cable, on which a flat resonant circuit tuning capacitor is mounted in front of the front of the antenna coil, with electrical antenna cable shielding by means of parallel printed ground paths, can serve directly as the antenna carrier.
  • the autonomous radio-controlled watch 11 shown in section has a wristwatch housing 12 in which the time display 14 (digital or analog and designed as an electromechanical display system or as an electro-optical display) is visible under a watch glass 13.
  • the receiver-side connection of a flexible magnetic antenna 18 to the clock circuit 15 is a contact spring 20 attached to the circuit carrier 19 in abutment against a contact pin 21 which is held in an insulating bushing 22 which extends approximately from the housing interior 23 through the housing wall 24.
  • the contact pin 21 has the shape of an angled hook, the longer leg rests approximately parallel to the visible housing surface 27 against the contact spring 20, while the shorter leg parallel to the height of the housing 12 from an indentation 28 on the underside of the housing wall 24 as freely accessible Pin 29 emerges (see FIG. 2).
  • Ground pins 29 'arranged on either side of it are anchored directly in the housing wall 24.
  • the film 60 printed with conductor tracks (FIG. 3a) on a Kapton base is covered over its laminated surface by means of a flexible thin insulating material cover 61 (FIG. 3b), which is adapted to the strip-like geometry of the antenna carrier 47 'for a short time extends in front of the mounting and connection holes 48, but beyond the conductor tracks in front of the connection area 58 has two tab-shaped tabs 62 projecting from a constriction 63 transversely to the longitudinal extent.
  • a conventional but shorter half-armband 66 is articulated to the case 12 in a conventional manner, for example by looping around a hinge shaft 68 held between horns 67 (FIG. 1).
  • the antenna bracelet 39 When the watch 11 is worn, the antenna bracelet 39 has a curved course in the longitudinal direction in accordance with the manufacturing-related bending direction of the core lamellae, which is oriented with its bow inside toward the carrier 47. Due to the limited restoring force of the layer core 52, the mere opening of the bracelet fastener 70 (cf. FIG. 4) does not automatically straighten it out again. Therefore, the demodulator receiver 71 of the clock circuit 15 is appropriately tuned on the input side to resonance conditions which correspond to the antenna inductance at an average bending radius of the core 52, so that there is optimum reception sensitivity if (FIG. 4) the receiver 71 periodically from the autonomous time-keeping Circuit 72 is switched on via a control line 73 for checking and possibly correcting the time display 14.
