Abstract

The transport device moves the watch hand in a curved path which follows the shape of the arm, using an endless transport chain or band (1), to which one or more watch hands are attached, to extend perpendicular to the transport direction. The transport chain or band is passed around relatively spaced driven elements (3), at opposite ends of guide elements (2), defining the transport path. Pref. the watch has an elongate watch face which curves around the wearer's wrist, with the watch hand moved past a number of fixed markings during its movement along the curved transport path.

Description

Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung handelt es sich um eine Transportvorrichtung für Zeiger in Armbanduhren (Siehe Patentanspruch 1).The present invention is a transport device for pointers in wristwatches (see claim 1).

Bei Armbanduhren herkömmlicher Bauart müssen zwei unterschiedliche geometrische Formen miteinander verbunden werden, die von den Zeigern beschriebene kreisförmige Fläche und die längliche Fläche des Armbandes. Daraus resultieren Restflächen.In conventional wristwatches, two different geometric shapes have to be joined together, the circular area described by the hands and the elongated area of the bracelet. This results in residual areas.

Dieser gestalterisch unbefriedigenden Voraussetzung begegnet eine Erfindung, mit einer in das Armband integrierten digitalen Anzeigefläche. Einzelne Anzeigebalken werden so an- und abgeschaltet, dass entweder ein einzelner Balken oder die Grenze einer Fläche von angeschalteten Balken die Zeit auf einer Skala anzeigt. (Europa Pat.Nr. 0483811A1)An invention meets this unsatisfactory design requirement with a digital display surface integrated into the bracelet. Individual display bars are switched on and off in such a way that either a single bar or the boundary of an area of switched bars shows the time on a scale. (Europe Pat.No. 0483811A1)

Von diesem Patent unterscheidet sich die vorliegende Erfindung dadurch, dass sie die Integration einer mechanischen Zeitanzeige in das Armband, nicht einer digitalen, ermöglicht.The present invention differs from this patent in that it enables the integration of a mechanical time display in the bracelet, not a digital one.

Es sind Patente bekannt, die im Bereich von Standuhren mit Bändern und Seilen arbeiten. Diese Standuhren sind zum Teil ringsum ablesbar. Die Zeiger befinden sich lange in der Nähe einer der beiden Umlenkrollen. Dort ist die Zeit schlecht ablesbar. Diesem Nachteil wird durch Änderung der Bewegungsrichtung der Bänder begegnet. Die Zeiger werden nur zwischen den Umlenkrollen hin- und hergeführt. (Schweizer Pat. Nr.619589 und 635474)Patents are known which work in the field of grandfather clocks with bands and ropes. Some of these grandfather clocks can be read all around. The pointers have been near one of the two pulleys for a long time. Time is difficult to read there. This disadvantage is countered by changing the direction of movement of the belts. The pointers are only moved back and forth between the pulleys. (Swiss Pat. Nos. 619589 and 635474)

Von diesen Patenten unterscheidet sich die vorliegende Erfindung dadurch, dass es bei Armbanduhren mit der parallel zum Ziffernblatt verlaufenden Transportvorrichtung möglich ist, bei kontinuierlicher Bewegung des Trägers, den Verlauf der Zeiger im Zifferblatt so zu führen, dass die Zeiger zu jeder Zeit voll sichtbar sind. Darüber hinaus kann die Zeigerführung länglich, gebogen, insgesamt frei gestaltet werden.The present invention differs from these patents in that it is possible in wristwatches with the transport device running parallel to the dial, with continuous movement of the wearer, to guide the course of the hands in the dial so that the hands are fully visible at all times. In addition, the pointer guide can be elongated, curved, and freely designed.

Weiter sind ein französisches und ein deutsches Patent bekannt (FR-A-1 001 877 und DE-A-38 02 977) die mit einer über eine untere und obere Umlenkvorrichtung geführtes Transportband für Zeiger arbeiten. Das Transportband läuft parallel zu dem ebenen Ziffernblatt. Ein ähnliches amerikanisches Patent ist bekannt (US-A-1 776 001), das mit einer senkrecht zu dem ebenen Ziffernblatt verlaufenden Transportvorrichtung arbeitet.Furthermore, a French and a German patent are known (FR-A-1 001 877 and DE-A-38 02 977) which work with a conveyor belt for pointers guided over a lower and upper deflection device. The conveyor belt runs parallel to the flat dial. A similar American patent is known (US-A-1 776 001) which works with a transport device which is perpendicular to the flat dial.

Die vorliegende Erfindung unterscheidet sich von den drei angeführten dadurch, dass die Transportvorrichtung bei dem parallelen wie bei dem senkrechten Verlauf zu dem Ziffernblatt nicht gerade, sondern mit einer dem Arm angepassten Biegung verläuft. Es müssen deswegen neben der oberen und unteren Umlenkvorrichtung, wie bei den drei angeführten Patenten, weitere Führungsbauteile verwendet werden, um die Biegung zu erreichen.The present invention differs from the three mentioned in that the transport device in the parallel as well as in the perpendicular course to the dial does not run straight, but with a curve adapted to the arm. Therefore, in addition to the upper and lower deflection device, as in the three cited patents, other guide components must be used to achieve the bend.

Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung einer Transportvorrichtung kann der Transport der Zeiger mit verschiedenen Trägerelementen erfolgen.
Die Trägerelemente können als:

  • Band, Kette, Seil
  • Kugelreihe
  • Spirale

ausgebildet sein.In the present invention of a transport device, the pointers can be transported with different carrier elements.
The support elements can be used as:
  • Ribbon, chain, rope
  • Row of balls
  • spiral

be trained.

Die Trägerelemente werden jeweils durch Rollen, Walzen oder Schienen so geführt, dass der oder die Zeiger sicher und stabil geleitet werden.The carrier elements are each guided by rollers, rollers or rails in such a way that the pointer (s) are guided safely and stably.

Unter Kugelreihe sind einzelne kugelförmige, kugelähnliche oder quaderförmige Trägerelemente zu verstehen, die zusammen mit einer rohrförmigen runden oder rechteckigen Schiene die längliche Transportvorrichtung ergeben. Die Schiene hat auf der ganzen Länge einen Führungsschlitz für den oder die Zeiger. Die Zeiger werden an einzelnen dieser Trägerelemente befestigt. Insgesamt werden die Trägerelemente in der Schiene bewegt. Es ist möglich die Einzelteile der Trägerelemente lose oder gar nicht miteinander zu verbinden, je nachdem wie die Führungsvorrichtung ausgebildet wird.A row of balls is understood to mean individual spherical, ball-like or cuboid support elements which, together with a tubular round or rectangular rail, result in the elongated transport device. The entire length of the rail has a guide slot for the pointer or pointers. The pointers are attached to individual of these carrier elements. Overall, the carrier elements are moved in the rail. It is possible to connect the individual parts of the carrier elements loosely or not at all, depending on how the guide device is designed.

Unter Spirale ist zu verstehen, dass die Transportvorrichtung aus einer langen oder mehreren kürzeren Spiralen als Trägerelement, die in einer rohrförmigen runden Schiene geführt werden, besteht. Die Schiene hat auf der ganzen Länge einen Führungsschlitz für den oder die Zeiger. Durch den Schlitz ragt ein Teil des Zeigers in die Spirale hinein. So wird es möglich durch eine Drehbewegung, aber auch durch Bewegen in Richtung der Längsachse der Spirale, die Zeiger zu bewegen.A spiral is to be understood to mean that the transport device consists of a long or a plurality of shorter spirals as the carrier element, which are guided in a tubular, round rail. The entire length of the rail has a guide slot for the pointer or pointers. Part of the pointer protrudes through the slot into the spiral. This makes it possible to move the pointers by rotating it, but also by moving it in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the spiral.

Der Antrieb erfolgt durch ein Rad, das auf die Trägerelemente einwirkt und eine vor- oder rückwärts gerichtete Bewegung der Zeiger erzeugt. Dazu wird die Schiene im Bereich des Antriebsrades geöffnet.It is driven by a wheel that acts on the carrier elements and generates a forward or backward movement of the pointers. To do this, open the rail in the area of the drive wheel.

Es ist möglich, dass die Schiene so weit reduziert wird, dass sie als eine solche gar nicht mehr erkennbar ist. Eine rechteckige Schiene kann bis auf vier, eine runde Schiene bis auf drei Gleitführungen reduziert werden. (Siehe Patentanspruch 6)It is possible that the rail is reduced to such an extent that it is no longer recognizable as such. A rectangular rail can be reduced to four, a round rail to three. (See claim 6)

Band, Kette, Seil, Spirale können sowohl in Schienen als auch mit Rollen und Walzen geführt werden.Belt, chain, rope, spiral can be guided in rails as well as with rollers and rollers.

Die Transportvorrichtung kann auch senkrecht zum Ziffernblatt angeordnet werden. Dann sind im Bereich der Umlenkrollen die Zeiger nicht sichtbar. Darum wird auf der Rückseite des Trägers ein zweiter Zeiger in anderer Farbe angebracht. Sobald ein Zeiger am Ende der Skala angekommen ist, springt der Träger weiter und der zweite Zeiger wird sichtbar.The transport device can also be arranged perpendicular to the clock face. Then the pointers are not visible in the area of the deflection rollers. That is why a second pointer in a different color is attached to the back of the carrier. As soon as one pointer has reached the end of the scale, the carrier jumps further and the second pointer becomes visible.

Die Transportvorrichtung, gleichgültig ob senkrecht oder parallel zum Ziffernblatt angeordnet, kann auch durch Zurückspringen in die Ausgangsstellung die Zeit anzeigen. Gundsätzlich kann in einer Uhr jede Art und jede Anordnung der Transportvorrichtung kombiniert werden und als Stunden-, Minuten-, Sekunden-, Datums-, Mondphasen- und zweite Zeitzonen-Anzeige dienen.The transport device, whether perpendicular or parallel to the clock face arranged, can also display the time by jumping back to the starting position. In principle, any type and arrangement of the transport device can be combined in a watch and serve as hour, minute, second, date, moon phase and second time zone display.
