Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transparent analog time clock according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a clock is such.
  • B. the well-known wristwatch "Eterna Matic Gold Club” (JSH Swiss Watch and Jewelry Journal Export 3/86, page 520), whose pointer drive mechanism is visible through a sapphire crystal in the bottom of the watch. The attraction of this watch is seen in the fact that the movement of the mechanical movement can be observed.
  • a pointer-analog clock with a ring-shaped clock chassis and two or more hands is known.
  • the hands of this clock have no central drive.
  • the hands are attached to tires which are suitably rotated by a mechanical drive.
  • All necessary drive parts are housed in the ring-shaped watch chassis, so that the center can be completely open.
  • the free space in the center of the clock can e.g. use for advertising.
  • a pocket or wristwatch is known from US Pat. No. 4,525,077 which is ring-shaped with a large central opening. In this opening, optional jewelry inserts can be used, the z. B. wear a monogram. The actual watch has no hands, but shows the time with moving, ring-shaped scales.
  • a transparent multi-disc time clock is known.
  • This known transparent multi-disc time clock which is designed with discs arranged one behind the other, is characterized in that transparent or translucent discs with pointer symbols are used for displaying the time.
  • Several transparent panes are mounted on a base. Disks with number symbols are fixed, the disks with pointer symbols are rotatably mounted.
  • a modified clockwork is housed in the base, from which the disks with the pointer symbols are driven by means of friction or gear wheels.
  • an analog time clock of the type mentioned which is characterized in that the dial is also transparent is that the hollow shaft of each pointer is driven by a transparent, disc-shaped gear and that its drive is arranged invisibly in the housing ring.
  • the structure of the analog time clock according to the invention ensures that the inside is practically transparent and that there is the peculiar appearance that the parts necessary for driving are removed from the eye of the beholder, but this still reads real hands like in a known clock can.
  • the transparent disks and / or the transparent gears can also be produced with color tints.
  • a central second hand is additionally provided, which is driven by a further transparent, disk-shaped gear.
  • the third transparent gearwheel can be produced with different color tones, a particular aesthetic effect being achieved by the fact that the different transparent discs and / or gearwheels are colored only on a part of their surface, with different patterns resulting from relative movements to one another.
  • a first embodiment of the timer provides that the gear wheel for the hour hand, the gear wheel for the minute hand and possibly the gear wheel for the second hand can each be driven by their own drive mechanism.
  • This version of the clock has the advantage that several relatively small drives can be accommodated in the housing ring distributed over the circumference of the clock. By preferably electrical or electronic synchronization between the Drive units are then ensured that the required ratio of the rotational speeds of the hour hand to the minute hand and possibly to the second hand is maintained.
  • An alternative embodiment of the analog time clock according to the invention provides that the gear for the hour hand, the gear for the minute hand and optionally the gear for the second hand can be driven by a single common drive train with a gear.
  • This design of the clock offers the advantage that no electrical or electronic synchronization of several drive mechanisms is required, since the required common rotational speed conditions are inevitably ensured by the single common drive mechanism and the associated gear. Also, only the cost of a drive mechanism is incurred in the manufacture of the watch.
  • the dial is preferably a round disk. However, there are other forms of the dial, such as a polygon or oval, executable.
  • the watch according to the invention can be designed as a chronometer, at least one additional hand being present which can be rotated eccentrically on the dial and which is driven by yet another transparent disk-shaped gear wheel.
  • a separate scale is expediently provided for each additional pointer, which preferably has a diameter that is smaller than half the diameter of the dial.
  • the chronometer there are several scales, for example three, one of which has a diameter that is slightly larger than half the diameter of the dial.
  • the associated hand is dimensioned so that it does not sweep over the center of the dial, so that it does not collide with the hollow shafts of hour and minute hands located there. This makes it easy to read, for example, a stopwatch function.
  • Coloring of the small transparent gears can also be carried out here.
  • each additional pointer can be driven by a separate drive mechanism. This makes it possible to use the additional hands for functions which are independent of the drive or the drives for hour and minute hands and, if appropriate, second hands, for example for a stopwatch or for a short-time clock running backwards from a predeterminable time.
  • the drive mechanisms can be operated electrically by at least one battery, the drive mechanisms and the battery being arranged outside the visible part of the dial in the housing ring.
  • the housing ring is expediently made of non-transparent material, for example a noble metal alloy, and thus hides the elements necessary for the drive from the viewer's eye.
  • the transparent disks and gearwheels and the transparent dial made of acrylic glass or mineral glass or quartz glass are expedient in order to ensure sufficient durability while maintaining transparency even over longer operating times of the watch.
  • an analog time watch 10 has a housing ring 12 which forms the radially outer part of the watch case, with a transparent disk 13 as the watch glass on top and with a further transparent disk 14 as the case back.
  • a circular transparent dial 11 Inside the clock 10 is a circular transparent dial 11, the markings of which by lines or numbers for reasons the clarity of the illustration are omitted.
  • the dial 11 has a central bore through which a shaft 15 projects, which carries a second hand 26 on its end lying above the dial 11 in a manner known per se.
  • the other end of the shaft 15 is applied vertically to a transparent gear 17, which is also made of a transparent material and whose teeth, like that of the other gears, are not shown for reasons of illustration.
  • the diameter of the gear 17 corresponds approximately to that of the disks 13 and 14.
  • the gear 17 is driven by a pinion 18, which in turn is driven by a drive mechanism 19, the outlines of which are only shown schematically, since such a drive mechanism is known to the person skilled in the art.
  • a hollow shaft 20 is arranged around the shaft 15, the length of which is somewhat smaller than that of the shaft 15, so that a minute hand 21 and the second hand 26 carried by the hollow shaft 20 pass each other without touching one another.
  • the hollow shaft 20 carries the minute hand 21 at its upper end and is mounted vertically on a gearwheel 22 at the other end, the gearwheel 22 likewise being made of transparent material and being driven by a pinion 23, which in turn can be driven by a drive mechanism 24, which is also only shown in outline.
  • a second hollow shaft 25 is arranged, which carries an hour hand 16 at its upper end and is arranged vertically at the lower end on a gear 27, which is also made of transparent material and like the other two gears 17 and 22 with a Pinion 28 and a drive mechanism 29 is driven.
  • the three gears 17, 22 and 27 lie closely one above the other and are relatively flat, so that the overall flat construction of the analog timer 10 results.
  • the dial 11 in addition to the above-mentioned markings (not shown), there are three approximately ring-shaped scales 30, 31, 32, which among themselves have approximately the same diameter, which in turn is smaller than half the diameter of the dial 11.
  • the three scales 30, 31 and 32 are not detailed so as not to complicate the illustration; their execution is known to the average specialist depending on the purpose of the scale.
  • Centrally in the scales 30, 31 and 32 are holes, through which a shaft 33, 34, 35 protrudes, which carries at its free upper end a pointer 36, 37, 38, the z. B. for a stopwatch function and a day display or a monthly display can be set up.
  • the three shafts 33, 34, 35 are each mounted vertically at their other end on a small gear 39; only one gear 39 with the shaft 34 in FIG. 2 is shown in the drawing, the other two shafts 33, 35 also being attached to a corresponding small gear, of course.
  • Each small gear 39 is in engagement with a pinion, only one pinion 40 being shown in FIG. 2, which can be driven by a drive unit 41.
  • the drive units 19, 24, 29, 41 and the two drive units not provided with reference numerals can be supplied with electrical energy by a battery 42 in a manner known per se.
  • the pinions, drive mechanisms and the battery are, like the wiring (not shown) and the pointer setting devices (not shown), in the annular, approximately U-shaped in cross section Housing ring 12 housed, which is connected to the two transparent discs 13 and 14, so that there is a completely closed housing.
  • the housing is kept very simple, although it goes without saying that all customary shapes can be used for the configuration.
  • FIG. 3 of the drawing shows an embodiment of the analog time clock 10, in which, in contrast to the embodiment previously described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the second hand 26, minute hand 21 and hour hand 16 are driven by a single common drive mechanism 190.
  • this drive mechanism 190 is also concealed within the housing ring 12 for the viewer.
  • the drive train 190 is followed by a multi-stage reduction gear 180, which ensures the corresponding rotational speed relationships between the three gear wheels for the three pointers 26, 21, 16.
  • the analog time clock 10 can be designed both as a portable small clock, for example a shoulder clock, pocket watch or wristwatch, and as a hanging wall clock or standing table clock.
