Definitions
- the invention relates to a clock with a clockwork, with pointers movable by waves and with a dial, the pointers and the shafts being articulated together (DE-OS 39 36 879).
- the articulated arrangement of the minute hand and the hour hand on the shafts that move them allows these hands to be moved not only in one plane, namely parallel to the plane of the dial, but in different planes, which opens up new design options for the dial itself and thus overall Surrender.
- the axes of the shafts are at an angle to the dial deviating from 90 ° and the axis is preferably at an angle of 135 °.
- the dial is divided into subdials that are in more than one level; preferably in two planes.
- hinge-like joints are located on the shaft ends and allow the hands to be pivoted from one plane, which receives a partial dial, to another plane.
- the invention has for its object to realize a clock of the type mentioned so that only simple hinges as joints ensure that the hands do not lift off the dials.
- a clock is shown in a side view, the clock housing being a prism-shaped housing, of which only one half of the dial 17 can be seen, since this covers the other half of the dial.
- Horizontally arranged shafts or tubes protrude from the housing, on the outer edges of which the hour hand 10 and the minute hand 9 are fastened by means of hinges.
- a second hand can also be provided in a corresponding manner.
- the housing 17 rests on a horizontal base 21 in such a way that only the rear edge of the triangle of the prism-shaped housing rests on the base. So that the housing does not fall backwards (when looking at the figure to the right), a foot 20 has been inserted into the rear part of the housing, the lower end of which also rests on the support 21.
- the arrangement of the housing and the foot on a horizontal surface 21 ensures that the two dial halves 17 are inclined to the vertical from the viewer from the bottom upwards to the rear, and this ensures that the two hands 10 and 9 turn away from each other the dials cannot lift off.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Uhr mit einem Uhrwerk, mit von Wellen bewegbaren Zeigern und mit einem Zifferblatt, wobei die Zeiger und die Wellen gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind (DE-OS 39 36 879).The invention relates to a clock with a clockwork, with pointers movable by waves and with a dial, the pointers and the shafts being articulated together (DE-OS 39 36 879).
Die gelenkige Anordnung des Minutenzeigers und des Stundenzeigers an den sie bewegenden Wellen erlaubt es, diese Zeiger nicht nur in einer Ebene, nämlich parallel zur Ebene des Zifferblattes zu bewegen, sondern in verschiedenen Ebenen, wodurch sich neuartige Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für das Zifferblatt selbst und somit insgesamt die Uhr ergeben. Gemäß einer Ausführungsform stehen die Achsen der Wellen unter einem von 90° abweichenden Winkel zum Zifferblatt und vorzugsweise steht die Achse unter einem Winkel von 135°. Ferner ist das Zifferblatt in Teilzifferblätter unterteilt, die in mehr als einer Ebene; und zwar vorzugsweise in zwei Ebenen liegen. Um eine gelenkige Anordnung der Zeiger an den sie antreibenden Wellen zu erreichen, befinden sich scharnierartige Gelenke an den Wellenenden und erlauben es, daß die Zeiger jeweils von der einen, ein Teilzifferblatt aufnehmenden Ebene in eine andere Ebene verschwenkt.The articulated arrangement of the minute hand and the hour hand on the shafts that move them allows these hands to be moved not only in one plane, namely parallel to the plane of the dial, but in different planes, which opens up new design options for the dial itself and thus overall Surrender. According to one embodiment, the axes of the shafts are at an angle to the dial deviating from 90 ° and the axis is preferably at an angle of 135 °. Furthermore, the dial is divided into subdials that are in more than one level; preferably in two planes. In order to achieve an articulated arrangement of the hands on the shafts driving them, hinge-like joints are located on the shaft ends and allow the hands to be pivoted from one plane, which receives a partial dial, to another plane.
Bei der bekannten Uhr hat es sich jedoch als sehr nachteilig herausgestellt, daß die Zeiger vom Zifferblatt abheben, so daß der Ablesevorgang erschwert wird.In the known watch, however, it has proven to be very disadvantageous that the hands lift off the dial, so that the reading process is made more difficult.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Uhr der eingangs genannten Art so zu verwirklichen, daß bei Verwendung nur einfacher Scharniere als Gelenke sichergestellt bleibt, daß die Zeiger nicht von den Zifferblättern abheben.The invention has for its object to realize a clock of the type mentioned so that only simple hinges as joints ensure that the hands do not lift off the dials.
Erreicht wird dies durch eine geringe Neigung der Zifferblatteile zur Vertikalen, und zwar vorzugsweise im Bereich bis zu 30° bis 35°, so daß die Zifferblatteile von unten nach oben von dem Betrachter weggeneigt sind. In gleicher Weise kann dies auch erreicht werden, indem die Standfläche abgeschrägt wird. Schließlich kann dies bei einer Wanduhr dadurch erreicht werden, daß im unteren Teil des Gehäuses Vorsprünge angeordnet sind, die das Gehäuse in die entsprechende Lage bringen, wenn die Uhr an der Wand befestigt ist. Es liegt auf der Hand, daß die Vorsprünge auch in ein umschließendes Gehäuse eingebettet sein können.This is achieved by a slight inclination of the dial parts to the vertical, preferably in the range up to 30 ° to 35 °, so that the dial parts are inclined away from the viewer from bottom to top. In the same way, this can also be achieved by chamfering the footprint. Finally, this can be achieved with a wall clock in that projections are arranged in the lower part of the housing, which bring the housing into the appropriate position when the clock is attached to the wall. It is obvious that the projections can also be embedded in an enclosing housing.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example.
Die einzige Figur der Beschreibung zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer Uhr gemäß der Erfindung.The only figure in the description shows a side view of a clock according to the invention.
In der Figur ist eine Uhr in seitlicher Ansicht dargestellt, wobei es sich bei dem Uhrengehäuse um ein prismaförmiges Gehäuse handelt, von welchem man nur die eine Zifferblatthälfte 17 erkennen kann, da diese die andere Zifferblatthälfte verdeckt. Aus dem Gehäuse stehen waagerecht angeordnete Wellen bzw. Rohre vor, an deren Außenrändern vermittels von Scharnieren der Stundenzeiger 10 und der Minutenzeiger 9 befestigt sind. In entsprechender Weise kann auch ein Sekundenzeiger vorgesehen sein.In the figure, a clock is shown in a side view, the clock housing being a prism-shaped housing, of which only one half of the
Das Gehäuse 17 ruht auf einer horizontalen Unterlage 21, und zwar so, daß nur die hintere Kante des Dreiecks des prismaförmigen Gehäuses auf der Unterlage aufruht. Damit nun das Gehäuse nicht nach hinten (bei Blickrichtung der Figur nach rechts) fällt, ist in den hinteren Teil des Gehäuses ein Fuß 20 eingesetzt worden, der mit seinem unteren Ende ebenfalls auf der Auflage 21 ruht.The
Durch die Anordnung des Gehäuses und des Fußes auf einer waagerechten Unterlage 21 wird erreicht, daß die beiden Zifferblatthälften 17 zur Vertikalen vom Betrachter von unten nach oben hinten weggeneigt sind, und dadurch wird sichergestellt, daß die beiden Zeiger 10 und 9 bei ihrer Umdrehung sich von den Zifferblättern nicht abheben können.The arrangement of the housing and the foot on a
