Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a time display device.
  • Reading the time at any time of the day gives us punctual information each time. If this information is certainly essential, the need to supplement it with relative information is becoming more and more felt. Indeed, the current way of life leads us almost automatically to consider the day or, more generally, a determined cycle, as a succession of equal spaces of time each of which is devoted to specific activities. Each time space constitutes a range (or slice or stage) equal to a whole fraction of the total duration of the cycle - that is to say a whole fraction of 24 hours if the cycle considered is the day - and punctuated by a characteristic lifestyle event marking the start of the track or, correspondingly, the end of the previous track.
  • the cycle is thus divided into N ranges of duration of T p each, the choice of N, therefore of T p arising precisely from the most widely used usual rhythm.
  • the choice of this division is guided by the following events: Start of the first track at 6 am, wake-up time, track mainly devoted to the first half of the work day; this first track ends at 12 noon (noon) at the same time time the second starts; this, devoted to the second half of the working day after the lunch break, ends in turn at 6 p.m .; this second beach follows a third more generally devoted to leisure and / or family; it ends at midnight (24 hours / 0 hours), bedtime, and gives way to the fourth and last track corresponding to rest.
  • Six in the morning thus marks the start of a new cycle and a new succession of time slots.
  • FIG. 1 presents the general form of a circular dial 1 mounted on a support 11.
  • the dial comprises a disc 12 driven by a movement not shown, accessible from the rear of the dial, a black cover 16 in the form of half-moon covering one half of the disc 12 and leaving only the other half to appear, and a circular graduation 17 placed opposite the visible half of the disc 12.
  • the disc 12 is divided into two semicircles each corresponding to a range of 6 hours and separated by a diameter 15.
  • the two semicircles each have an aspect contrasting with the other, for example by means of different colors.
  • the disc 12 is driven by movement analogously to the hour hand of a conventional watch.
  • the arrangement of the means described is such that at the times indicated above, we will alternately see sector 13 as a whole, that is to say the blue semicircle, then sector 14 in red, to indicate the start of the four beaches of the day described above.
  • the scale of graduation 17 has six major divisions (separated by the long lines in figure 1), indicating the hours, each one being subdivided into six equal portions (separated by the shorter lines, of which the middle one has an intermediate length in figure 1), representing ten minutes each time .
  • the sector 13 corresponds for example to the first or the third range, that is to say that having started respectively at 6 o'clock (and ending at 12 o'clock) or at 6 o'clock (and ending at 24 hours), which beach is about to end.
  • the elapsed time of this same range is therefore a little more than four hours and twenty minutes; it corresponds to the supplement of sector 13, not visible since it is located under the cover, equal to the portion of the next visible range represented by sector 14 materializing the second, respectively the fourth range, whose start is near.
  • the display means described make it possible to simultaneously supply the time present by the position of the border separating the two ranges and materialized by the diameter 15.
  • the time displayed as shown in Figure 1 is approximately ten hours and twenty-two minutes.
  • the diameter 15 comes to merge with the cover 16 it will be twelve hours and it is the second range, materialized by the sector 14, at this totally visible moment, which will begin to spread.
  • the member for indicating the time ranges could consist not of an entire disc 12, but only of a half-disc, the visible part of which - equivalent to the portion 14 represented in FIG. 1 - would cover, as the hour advances, the base of the dial - itself equivalent to the portion 13 shown in Figure 1 - whose color, for example blue, also contrasts with the half-disc, for example red.
  • the reading of the elapsed time, the time available and the present time is done in exactly the same way as that just explained.
  • the display device is a gauge 2 mounted on a support 21.
  • the four tracks are materialized by a two-color strip 22 and scrolling for example in the direction of the arrow F to allow the portion of strip 23 to appear twice successively during a 24-hour cycle then 24, for example blue and red respectively.
  • the strip 22 is driven by a movement - of which we can see that the control button 28 - like the hour hands of a watch.
  • a graduated ruler 27 whose divisions and subdivisions correspond to those described for the graduation 17 of FIG. 1.
  • the time remaining until the portion 23 has elapsed, again corresponding to the first or third range, is approximately one hour and five minutes. and the elapsed time, viewed directly by the portion 24, is approximately four hours fifty-five minutes.
  • the present time is provided by the dividing line 25. If the portion 23 corresponds to the first range as described above, the current time is ten minutes fifty-five minutes approximately. If it is the third range, it is approximately ten twenty-five minutes.
  • the device 3 is integrated into a watch 31 having a conventional hour turn 37.
  • the dial has a window 36 in the form of a half-crown opposite the hour turn ranging from six hours at twelve o'clock.
  • the device here comprises a half disc 32 - like the variant exposed in the first embodiment - connected to the hour barrel disengageable or not and actuable by means of the crown 38 at the same time the hand of the hours.
  • the four ranges are materialized alternately during a 24-hour cycle by the portions 33 and 34 in a manner completely analogous to what has been explained in support of the two previous embodiments.
  • the range started 33 corresponds to the fourth, that is to say that relating to the period going from zero hour to six hours.
  • the device makes it possible to see that track 33 has been started for an hour and forty minutes approximately and that there remain approximately four hours and twenty minutes until its end.
  • the indication provided by the border 35 of the two ranges 33, 34 corresponds to the present time, read with an accuracy somewhat lower than that given. by needles.
  • the indicator 35 shows an hour and a half very roughly, while the hour and minute hands indicate an hour and thirty-six minutes.
  • the display of the time slots of the device according to the invention can be produced by liquid crystals or by diffusion of light of different colors depending on the ranges.
  • the visible part and correspondingly the hidden part of the disc 12, 32 or of the strip 22 must be adapted accordingly, the visible part having to correspond to the visualization of an entire track.
  • the hourly scale opposite the visible part will be provided for a duration of four hours and the corresponding angle, in the case of circular reading, will not be 180 o as for the embodiments described, but 120 o .
  • the scale 17, 27, 37 will be provided for eight hours and the corresponding angle in the case of circular reading will be 240 o .
