- the object of the present invention is the realization of the above-mentioned advantages for solving the mentioned problem.
- the object of the present invention is characterized by the features mentioned in claim 1.
- the one and ten program wheels, as well as the one-and ten-wheel are designed accordingly, one achieves that the latter are subject to a predetermined sequence of a progression of one step per month or instead a continuation break. This allows, in contrast to the prior art, the display of the monthly number in digital large format.
- the device can be driven in a simple manner by the pointer.
- this device may be driven and controlled by an eternal calendar mechanism instead of the pointer mechanism.
- the one and ten program wheels can be integrated into the set of intermediate wheels associated with the perpetual calendar mechanism.
- the well-known display of the number of days in the mechanism can be installed so that both the daily and the monthly number in digital, large-scale form to represent, in addition to the year.
- Figures 1a to 1d schematically illustrate in plan view and in section the design of a first embodiment of the one- and ten-pulleys and the associated program discs and the resulting switching phases of the month display, wherein a first form of a possible drive of the device in illustration 1 a is suggested in order to facilitate the understanding of the invention.
- Figures 2a to 2d show schematically in plan view and in section the design of a second embodiment of the one-and-ten slices and the associated program discs and the resulting switching phases of such a monthly display.
- FIG. 10 represents a second example of a possible drive of a device to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, both as a known display of the number of days as well as an indication of the year to the complete date display is drivable.
- the Figure 3b shows the wheels of the Figure 3a in detail, and the Figure 3c illustrates the drive part of the Figure 3a closer.
- the illustrated in Figures 1 a and 1 b in plan view and in section device for displaying date in a clock, in particular a wristwatch, has a single disc 9 and a ten-wheel 6, which are each printed with a sequence of numbers or numbers and such are arranged side by side parallel, that they, as out Figure 3a recognizable overlap in the range of a display position 61 and thereby a two-digit number, which is visible through an associated window in the dial of the clock, can be displayed.
- the larger diameter disc is formed as a disc ring and the axis of rotation of the smaller diameter disc is disposed within the outer circumferential contour of the larger diameter disc.
- a one-program wheel 4 and a ten-program wheel 3 are respectively engaged with a one-drive 7 and a ten-drive 5, thus controlling the shifting of the one-pulley 9 and the ten-pulley 6.
- a program drive wheel 2 forwards the driving force to the one-4 and ten-program wheel 3 the program drive wheel 2 and the program wheels 3, 4 are advantageously arranged coaxially.
- the exact design of these items and their arrangement can now be done in various ways, but generally the one-4 and ten-program wheel 3 and the one-9 and 10 disc designed such that the latter in a predetermined sequence of a step-by-step Month or instead a break in progress to allow the month number to be displayed.
- the various options will now be explained in detail below, with both the design of the program wheels and the discs as well as the drive of the device will be discussed.
- the one-disc 9a on its side facing the dial, evenly distributed in a concentric circle and directed approximately radially, a digit sequence of 1 to 9 followed by the numbers 0 to 2 or a multiple thereof.
- the overlying Zehneremia 6a is in turn on its side facing the dial, evenly distributed in a concentric circle and approximately radially directed, the numeral 1 followed by a blank or a zero or a multiple thereof provided.
- a continuous window corresponding approximately to one digit size is formed in the ten-wheel disk 6a between the number 1 and the empty space or zero in order to make visible the digit of the underlying single disk 9a associated with the ten digit in the region of the display position 61 of the clock let, whereby a two-digit number is represented by an associated window in the dial of the clock.
- the numbers can be z. B.
- the arrangement of the digits depends on the direction of rotation of the discs and this is opposite, again the direction of rotation, indicated in the figures with an arrow, in principle, can be chosen arbitrarily.
- Figures 1 b and 1 c can be seen the design and arrangement of the display discs 6a, 9a and the program wheels 3a, 4a and their interaction.
- the disc ring of larger diameter is formed as a single disc 9a.
- This is provided on its inner circumferential contour with an inner ring gear, in which a Einerstern 8 firmly connected to the Einertrieb 7 engages while the Einertrieb 7 is as mentioned in engagement with the Einprogrammprogrammrad 4a.
- the single-disk 9a is thus controlled by the one-program wheel 4a via the single-drive 7 provided with a single-star 8.
- the disk of smaller diameter is formed as a ten-wheel disc 6a, wherein it is rotatably connected to the ten gear 5, which in turn, as mentioned, is in engagement with the tens program wheel 3a.
- the ten-program wheel 3a directly controls the ten-pulley 6a via the ten-pulley 5.
- the ten disc 6a this could, like the disc of larger diameter, also be formed as a disc ring and be provided on its inner circumferential contour with an internal gear, in which a tenertrieb 5 firmly connected, dansstern 8 analogue ten star intervenes, this configuration is not shown in the figures.
- the ten-disc 6 in this case would not have a cross-like shape, but would resemble a ring provided with continuous windows.
- Two such disc rings for one 9 and 10 disc 6 may preferably have approximately the same diameter and be arranged coaxially to each other or, analogous to that in the illustration 1 a configuration shown, be arranged eccentrically against each other, wherein in turn the axis of rotation of a disc is disposed within the outer circumferential contour of the other disc to allow positioning of the display area 61 also on the edge of the dial of the clock.
- the two program wheels 3a, 4a are coaxial with the program drive wheel 2 mounted around the shaft 1, wherein the one-4a and the tens program wheel 3a, for example by means of pins 2a, rotatably and superimposed with the program drive wheel 2 are connected.
- the ensemble of program drive wheel 2 and program wheels 3,4 is here, as will be explained in more detail later in connection with the drive, with a step per month advanced.
- the one-disc 9a by means of the one-program wheel 4a on the one-drive 7 and on the other the decal disc 6a by means of the ten-program wheel 3a via the decimal drive 5 with a step per month dealtschaltbar, wherein in the case of Figures 1a to 1d shown configuration both progressions via the program wheels 3a, 4a rotatably connected program drive 2 are triggered.
- the program wheels 3a, 4a have a corresponding design, so that the discs 6a, 9a are indexable with one step per month, wherein the index disk 6a after a first stepping a continuation pause of eight steps and after a second increment a two-step intermission pause occurs.
- the program wheel 2 and one-4a and ten-program wheels 3a in superimposed position and separately shows a one 4a and a ten program wheel 3a selected with a pitch of 48 teeth and a program wheel 2 with a tooth pitch of 24 teeth.
- analogous teeth divisions as multiples of the number 12 are possible by tuning the design of the discs 6, 9.
- the one-program wheel 4a in this case actually has 48 teeth and is incremented at each monthly progression of the program drive wheel 2 by the rotationally fixed connection with this one step per month, which has a corresponding indexing of the single disc 9a result.
- the ten - program wheel 3a has a total of only four teeth and 44 tooth gaps, wherein between the 4
- Teeth are each 17 tooth gaps and 5 tooth gaps in alternating order.
- a continuation pause of eight steps corresponding to the 17 tooth gaps and after a second step into the position with the visible in the display position 61 digit 1, a continuation pause of two steps corresponding to the 5 tooth gaps.
- the program drive wheel 2 rotates with the program wheels 3, 4 half times per year, as well as the ten-pulley 6a, while the one-pulley 9a rotates once a year.
- the one-disc 9b is in this case on its side facing the dial, evenly distributed in a concentric circle and directed approximately radially, provided with a digit sequence of 1 to 9 or a multiple thereof.
- the ten-wheel disc 6b has on its side facing the dial, evenly distributed in a concentric circle and approximately radially directed, the numbers 10 to 12 followed by a blank or a zero or a multiple thereof.
- a continuous window corresponding to at least the size of a digit on the single disk 9b is formed between the blank space or the zero and the number sequence.
- the one-piece disk 9b can be indexed by means of the one-program wheel 4b via the single drive 7 and the ten-wheel disk 6b by means of the ten-program wheel 3b via the ten drive 5 with one step per month, as in the previous embodiment.
- a one-shot pause for the single disk 9b after a step-up of nine steps is followed by a three-step pause and on the other the disk 10b in the step following the last pause of the single disk 9b before its pause in the course of this last stepping of the single slice 9b, before its continuation pause, a four-step advance, followed by an eight-step pause.
- a corresponding one 4b and a ten-program wheel 3b can in turn be selected with a tooth pitch of 48 teeth and a program wheel 2 with a tooth pitch of 24 teeth. Again, this choice of tooth pitches results in the program drive wheel 2 non-rotatably connected to the program wheels 3, 4 rotating half a year per year, one step at a time per month, due to its retained mode of progression.
- the one-program wheel 4b actually has 34 teeth, with 17 teeth being separated in series by 7 tooth spaces, as in FIG Figure 2c shown. Each time the program drive wheel 2 is indexed, it advances by one step per month by one of its teeth, which corresponds to two teeth on the one-program wheel 4b.
- the program wheels 3, 4 may also, as will be explained in more detail later in connection with the drive and which is also valid for the embodiment 10a described above, in a direct manner with one step per month, that is, here by two teeth per month, to be switched.
- the single-disk 9b By correspondingly shifting the single-disk 9b, therefore, corresponding to a sequence of 17 teeth of the one-program wheel 4b, the nine digits thereof are displayed in succession, before a three-step indexing pause corresponding to 7 tooth gaps of the one-program program wheel 4b takes place.
- the indexing can start with the number 1 and end with the number 9, or start with the number 2 and end with the number 1, after which the continuation pause of three steps respectively begins.
- the ten-program wheel 3b has a total of 14 teeth and 34 tooth gaps, with 7 teeth and 17 tooth spaces each being attached in succession and in an alternating order.
- the two program wheels 3b, 4b mounted in such a superimposed that after the 17 teeth of the one-program wheel 4b and before the 7 teeth of the ten-program wheel 3b even in their superimposed position, a tooth gap arises, as from Figure 2c seen.
- a three-step advance pause begins, and the tenplate 6b does not begin its four-step advance until the eight-step advancement pause is followed by the last advance of the single slice 9b prior to its pause advance.
- the switching of the single-disc 9b from the digit 9 visible in the display position 61 to the 1 and that of the decimal disc 6b from the numeral 12 to the empty space with the window occur simultaneously.
- the beginning of the indexing of the single disk 9b is selected for the number 2
- the two program wheels 3b, 4b are arranged one above the other in such a way that a tooth gap is created in front of the 17 teeth of the one-program wheel 4b and after the 7 teeth of the ten-program wheel 3b in their superimposed position.
- the decimal disc 6b already begins simultaneously with the last progression of the single disc 9b before their continuation pause their progression of four steps followed by continuation pause of eight steps, so that in other words the switching of the single disc 9b from the numeral 9 to the 1 and that of the number plate 6b from the blank with the window on the number 10 simultaneously.
- the second variant of the program wheels 3b, 4b allows, so to speak, with regard to their relative arrangement, two different possibilities which effectively produce the same result in the display.
- the resulting switching phases are, for the first of the two above-mentioned arrangement possibilities of the program wheels 3b, 4b, in the Figure 2d outlined.
- the ten-pulley 6b and the one-pulley 9b rotate once a year, with the respective stopping pauses being tuned with the shifting of the other pulley so as to enable the display of the month number in large digital format.
- such a device can be driven in a simple, known manner by the pointer.
- This possibility is in the illustration 1 a indicated where the program drive 2 via a first set of intermediate wheels 20 from the movement of the clock clock is one step per month paidschaltbar.
- the pointer movement in this case drives a month star 21, which is connected coaxially and rotationally fixed with a monthly star wheel 22.
- the month star 21 can be locked by an elastic engaging in its teeth catch 25 against adjustment from the rest position between two steps.
- the monthly star wheel 22 is in turn engaged with a Monatschaltrad 23, which carries a finger 24.
- this device can advantageously be driven and controlled by an eternal calendar mechanism instead of the pointer mechanism.
- the unit and the tens program wheel can be integrated into the set of intermediate wheels 40 belonging to the perpetual calendar mechanism 30.
- the perpetual calendar mechanism 30 has a pivotable about its axis lever 31 which is reciprocated once a day by the clockwork.
- a date wheel 32 is rotated by a pawl by one step per day.
- a scanning arm of the lever 31 abuts radially on a rotatably mounted month stage disc 34 whose radial incisions on its periphery reflect the length of the months over a four-year period, in particular taking into account the month of February for a leap year.
- One of the 31 teeth of the date wheel 32 protrudes radially further than the others and switches once a month one with the month stage disc 34 fixedly connected, also rotatably mounted gear 33 by one step on. That in the Patent EP 0 191 921 detailed interaction between the month stage pulley 34, the lever 31 and the date wheel 32 in this case ensures a continuation of the gear 33 after the correct number of days for each month of the four-year period.
- the date wheel 32 and the gear 33 can in turn be secured by means of resiliently engaging in their teeth notches 35 and 36 against automatic further rotation.
- the program drive wheel 2 is by means of its triangular teeth and associated catch 11 in the case of the drive of the device according to the invention on the eternal calendar mechanism 30 therefore primarily to protect against an automatic further rotation between two steps and could also be omitted to reduce the height.
- the drive of the device via the pointer movement is thus also the drive via the eternal calendar mechanism 30 for both embodiments of the program wheels 3, 4 and the display discs 6, 9 possible.
- the calendar mechanism 30 allows, as in the Patent EP 0 191 921 detailed, the complete date display with the number of days, the number of months and the year.
- This moves a consisting of the wheels 44, 45 and 46 and the corresponding display parts year number display module, through which as in the Patent EP 0 191 921 described the year, the decade and possibly the century number can be displayed in the display area 63.
- a display device for the number of days from the Patent EP 0 529 191 of known type are incorporated into the mechanism, so as to be able to display both the day and the month in digital, large-scale form, which as a result of the eternal calendar mechanism existing year in a device according to the invention a complete date display with day, month and Year number.
- the display of the number of days is here, as from Figure 3a seen, advantageously also driven by the calendar mechanism 30 by the date wheel 32, a rotatably mounted day wheel 47 is mounted concentrically and firmly connected to the former, the day wheel 47 meshes with a Un formatrad 48. This engages a program drive wheel 52 associated with a single 53 and a tens program wheel 54 for the daily number.
- the Unprogrammantriebsrad 52 is thus indexed by the calendar mechanism 30 with a step per day.
- the Uneiner- 53 and the daylight program 54 control in from the Patent EP 0 529 191 known manner, via a respective Einertrieb 57 with a Einerstern 58 and a Zehnertrieb 55 in each case the progression of a Raneinerity 59 and a Ranverzerin 56.
- Their also disclosed in this specification design thus allows the display of the daily number in large format.
- the inventive device for date display is suitable by its modular design for integration in watches, especially watches, various types, preferably in complex watches. This allows the realization of watches with a large-scale, digital display of the monthly number and, if necessary, in addition with a large-format, digital display of the number of days and a display of the year, these displays can be driven either directly from the movement or by a perpetual calendar module.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Datumsanzeige in einer Uhr, insbesondere einer Armbanduhr, mit einer Einerscheibe und einer Zehnerscheibe, welche jeweils eine Folge von Ziffern oder Zahlen aufweisen und derart parallel nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet sind, daß sie sich im Bereich einer Anzeigeposition überdecken und dadurch eine zweistellige Zahl, die durch ein zugehöriges Datumsfenster im Ziffernblatt der Uhr sichtbar ist, darstellbar ist, wobei die Scheibe größeren Durchmessers als Scheibenring ausgebildet ist und die Drehachse der Scheibe kleineren Durchmessers innerhalb der äußeren Umlaufkontur der Scheibe größeren Durchmessers angeordnet ist, mit einem Einerprogrammrad sowie einem Zehnerprogrammrad, welche über einen jeweils mit diesen im Eingriff befindlichen Einertrieb und Zehnertrieb die Fortschaltung der Einerscheibe und der Zehnerscheibe steuern, sowie mit einem Programmantriebsrad, welches die Antriebskraft auf das Einer- und Zehnerprogrammrad weiterleitet.The present invention relates to a device for date display in a clock, in particular a wristwatch, with a single disc and a ten-disc, each having a sequence of numerals or numbers and are arranged side by side parallel so that they overlap in the range of a display position and thereby a two-digit number, which is visible through an associated date window in the dial of the clock, can be represented, wherein the larger diameter disc is formed as a disc ring and the axis of rotation of the disc of smaller diameter is disposed within the outer circumferential contour of the larger diameter disc, with a single program and a Tens program wheel, which control the progression of the single disc and the decal disc via a single drive and ten drive respectively engaged therewith, as well as with a program drive wheel which controls the driving force on the one and ten programmer ad forwarded.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich insbesondere auf Mechanismen, welche es erlauben, das Datum, vor allem in Armbanduhren, großformatig digital anzuzeigen. Derartige, bekannte Mechanismen sind bisher zur Anzeige der Tageszahl innerhalb eines Monats benutzt worden. Manche komplizierte Uhren erlauben es jedoch auch, neben der Tageszahl den Wochentag, den Monat, das Jahr und das Jahrzehnt sowie gegebenenfalls das Jahrhundert oder eine Auswahl dieser Daten anzuzeigen. Diese Anzeigen können im Prinzip auf verschiedene Art und Weise erfolgen, etwa elektronisch, mechanisch, mittels Zeiger oder auch in digitaler Form. Die oben erwähnten großformatigen, digitalen Anzeigemechanismen sind hierbei in verschiedenen Ausbildungen zur Anzeige der Tageszahl zur Verwendung gekommen, wie dies zum Beispiel aus der
Aus dem oben Gesagten ergibt sich das Problem, insbesondere für die erwähnten komplizierten Uhren eine Vorrichtung bereitzustellen, welche nicht für die Zahl des Tages, sondern für diejenige des Monats eine digitale Anzeige im Großformat erlaubt, wobei dies zum einen hinsichtlich des Antriebs der Vorrichtung auf möglichst einfache, platzsparende und effiziente Weise und zum anderen unter Umständen in Kombination mit der bekannten Anzeige der Tageszahl erfolgen soll.From the above, the problem arises, in particular for the mentioned complicated clocks to provide a device which does not allow for the number of the day, but for that of the month a digital display in large format, on the one hand with regard to the drive of the device as possible simple, space-saving and efficient way and on the other hand possibly in combination with the well-known display of the day number.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Verwirklichung der oben genannten Vorteile zur Lösung des erwähnten Problems.The object of the present invention is the realization of the above-mentioned advantages for solving the mentioned problem.
Der Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung zeichnet sich hierfür durch die im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale aus.The object of the present invention is characterized by the features mentioned in
Durch diese Maßnahmen, das heißt, daß das Einer- und das Zehnerprogrammrad sowie die Einer- und die Zehnerscheibe entsprechend gestaltet sind, erzielt man, daß Letztere in einer vorgegebenen Abfolge einer Fortschaltung von einem Schritt pro Monat oder stattdessen einer Fortschaltungspause unterliegen. Dies erlaubt im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik die Anzeige der Monatszahl in digitalem Großformat.By these measures, that is, the one and ten program wheels, as well as the one-and ten-wheel are designed accordingly, one achieves that the latter are subject to a predetermined sequence of a progression of one step per month or instead a continuation break. This allows, in contrast to the prior art, the display of the monthly number in digital large format.
Die Vorrichtung kann auf einfache Weise vom Zeigerwerk angetrieben werden. Auf vorteilhafte Weise kann diese Vorrichtung jedoch anstatt vom Zeigerwerk von einem ewigen Kalendermechanismus angetrieben und gesteuert werden. Dabei kann das Einer- und das Zehnerprogrammrad in den zum ewigen Kalendermechanismus gehörigen Satz von Zwischenrädern integriert werden. Zudem kann auch die bekannte Anzeige der Tageszahl in den Mechanismus eingebaut werden, um somit sowohl die Tages- als auch die Monatszahl in digitaler, großformatiger Form darstellen zu können, neben der Jahreszahl.The device can be driven in a simple manner by the pointer. Advantageously, however, this device may be driven and controlled by an eternal calendar mechanism instead of the pointer mechanism. Thereby, the one and ten program wheels can be integrated into the set of intermediate wheels associated with the perpetual calendar mechanism. In addition, the well-known display of the number of days in the mechanism can be installed so that both the daily and the monthly number in digital, large-scale form to represent, in addition to the year.
Diese Merkmale tragen dazu bei, eine einfache und effiziente Vorrichtung zur Datumsanzeige zur Verfügung zu stellen, welche auf Grund eines modularen Aufbaus in einer Vielzahl verschiedener Uhren eingesetzt werden kann, um die Monatszahl und unter Umständen auch die Tageszahl in großen Ziffern leicht lesbar darzustellen.These features help to provide a simple and efficient date display device which, due to a modular design, can be used in a variety of different timepieces to make the month number, and possibly also the day number, easy to read in large numbers.
Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich aus den in den abhängigen Ansprüchen genannten Merkmalen sowie der im Folgenden die Erfindung mit Hilfe der Abbildungen im Detail darlegenden Beschreibung.Further advantages will become apparent from the features mentioned in the dependent claims and the description below with reference to the drawings in detail.
Die beigefügten Abbildungen stellen beispielhaft eine Ausführungsform einer Vorrichtung zur Datumsanzeige laut der vorliegenden Erfindung dar.The accompanying drawings exemplify an embodiment of a date display device according to the present invention.
Die Abbildungen 1a bis 1d illustrieren schematisch in der Draufsicht und im Schnitt die Gestaltung eines ersten Ausführungsbeispiel der Einer- und Zehnerscheiben sowie der dazugehörigen Programmscheiben und die daraus sich ergebenden Schaltphasen der Monatsanzeige, wobei eine erste Form eines möglichen Antriebs der Vorrichtung in
Die Abbildungen 2a bis 2d zeigen schematisch in der Draufsicht und im Schnitt die Gestaltung einer zweiten Ausführungsform der Einer- und Zehnerscheiben sowie der dazugehörigen Programmscheiben und die daraus sich ergebenden Schaltphasen einer derartigen Monatsanzeige.Figures 2a to 2d show schematically in plan view and in section the design of a second embodiment of the one-and-ten slices and the associated program discs and the resulting switching phases of such a monthly display.

Im Folgenden soll die Erfindung mit Hilfe der erwähnten Abbildungen im Detail beschrieben werden.In the following, the invention will be described in detail with the help of the mentioned figures.
Die in den Abbildungen 1 a und 1 b in der Draufsicht und im Schnitt dargestellte Vorrichtung zur Datumsanzeige in einer Uhr, insbesondere einer Armbanduhr, weist eine Einerscheibe 9 und eine Zehnerscheibe 6 auf, welche jeweils mit einer Folge von Ziffern oder Zahlen bedruckt sind und derart parallel nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet sind, daß sie sich, wie aus
Unter nochmaligem Verweis auf die Draufsicht und den Schnitt der Abbildungen 1a und 1b soll mit der Beschreibung einer 10a der Programmräder 3a, 4a und der Scheiben 6a, 9a begonnen werden.Referring again to the plan view and the section of Figures 1a and 1b to begin with the description of a 10a of the
In diesem Falle weist die Einerscheibe 9a auf ihrer zum Ziffernblatt gerichteten Seite, in einem konzentrischen Kreis gleichmäßig verteilt und etwa radial gerichtet, eine Ziffernfolge von 1 bis 9 gefolgt von den Ziffern 0 bis 2 bzw. ein Vielfaches davon auf. Die darüberliegende Zehnerscheibe 6a ist ihrerseits auf ihrer zum Ziffernblatt gerichteten Seite, ebenfalls in einem konzentrischen Kreis gleichmäßig verteilt und etwa radial gerichtet, mit der Ziffer 1 gefolgt von einer Leerstelle oder einer Null bzw. einem Vielfachen davon versehen. Dabei ist in der Zehnerscheibe 6a zwischen der Ziffer 1 und der Leerstelle oder der Null jeweils ein in etwa einer Zifferngröße entsprechendes durchgehendes Fenster ausgebildet, um die der Zehnerziffer zugeordnete, jeweils angezeigte Ziffer der darunterliegenden Einerscheibe 9a im Bereich der Anzeigeposition 61 der Uhr sichtbar werden zu lassen, wodurch eine zweistellige Zahl durch ein zugehöriges Fenster im Ziffernblatt der Uhr darstellbar ist. Für die dargestellte Gestaltung mit zweimal der Ziffer 1 und zwei zugehörigen durchgehenden Fenstern erhält die Zehnerscheibe 6a somit eine kreuzartige Form. Die Ziffern können hierbei z. B. durch Bedrucken oder ein anderes Verfahren auf die Scheiben aufgebracht werden, wobei die Anordnung der Ziffern vom Drehsinn der Scheiben abhängt und diesem entgegengesetzt ist, wobei wiederum der Drehsinn, in den Abbildungen jeweils mit einem Pfeil angedeutet, im Prinzip beliebig gewählt werden kann. Im Prinzip ist es auch möglich, die arabischen Ziffern auf der Einer- und Zehnerscheibe etwa durch Symbole oder römische Ziffern zu ersetzen; insbesondere könnte die Ziffer 1 der Zehnerscheibe durch ein kleineres Symbol ersetzt werden, wodurch der zur Verfügung stehende Raum für die Ziffern oder Symbole der Einerscheibe vergrößert würde.In this case, the one-
In den Abbildungen 1 b und 1 c erkennt man die Auslegung und die Anordnung der Anzeigescheiben 6a, 9a und der Programmräder 3a, 4a sowie deren Zusammenspiel.In Figures 1 b and 1 c can be seen the design and arrangement of the
Im vorliegenden Falle ist der Scheibenring größeren Durchmessers als Einerscheibe 9a ausgebildet. Diese ist an ihrer inneren Umlaufkontur mit einem Innenzahnkranz versehen, in welchen ein mit dem Einertrieb 7 fest verbundener Einerstern 8 eingreift, während der Einertrieb 7 sich wie erwähnt im Eingriff mit dem Einerprogrammrad 4a befindet. Die Einerscheibe 9a wird somit vom Einerprogrammrad 4a über den mit einem Einerstern 8 versehenen Einertrieb 7 gesteuert.In the present case, the disc ring of larger diameter is formed as a
Die Scheibe kleineren Durchmessers ist als Zehnerscheibe 6a ausgebildet, wobei sie mit dem Zehnertrieb 5 drehfest verbunden ist, welcher sich wiederum, wie erwähnt, im Eingriff mit dem Zehnerprogrammrad 3a befindet. Damit steuert das Zehnerprogrammrad 3a über den Zehnertrieb 5 direkt die Zehnerscheibe 6a. Alternativ zu dieser Ausführung der Scheibe kleineren Durchmessers, also hier der Zehnerscheibe 6a, könnte diese, wie die Scheibe größeren Durchmessers, ebenfalls als Scheibenring ausgebildet sein und an ihrer inneren Umlaufkontur mit einem Innenzahnkranz versehen sein, in welchen ein mit dem Zehnertrieb 5 fest verbundener, zum Einerstern 8 analoger Zehnerstern eingreift, wobei diese Konfiguration nicht in den Abbildungen wiedergegeben ist. Die Zehnerscheibe 6 besäße in diesem Falle keine kreuzartige Form, sondern gliche einem mit durchgehenden Fenstern versehenem Ring. Zwei derartige Scheibenringe für Einer- 9 und Zehnerscheibe 6 können vorzugsweise etwa gleichen Durchmesser besitzen und koaxial zueinander angeordnet sein oder können, analog zu der in der
Des weiteren sind die beiden Programmräder 3a, 4a, wie erwähnt, koaxial zum Programmantriebsrad 2 um die Welle 1 angebracht, wobei das Einer- 4a und das Zehnerprogrammrad 3a, zum Beispiel mittels Stiften 2a, drehfest und übereinanderliegend mit dem Programmantriebsrad 2 verbunden sind. Das Ensemble aus Programmantriebsrad 2 und Programmrädern 3,4 wird hierbei, wie an späterer Stelle im Zusammenhang mit dessen Antrieb näher erläutert werden wird, mit einem Schritt pro Monat fortgeschaltet.Furthermore, the two
Daher ist zum einen die Einerscheibe 9a mittels des Einerprogrammrads 4a über den Einertrieb 7 und zum anderen die Zehnerscheibe 6a mittels des Zehnerprogrammrads 3a über den Zehnertrieb 5 mit einem Schritt pro Monat fortschaltbar, wobei im Falle der in

Zähnen jeweils 17 Zahnlücken und 5 Zahnlücken in abwechselnder Reihenfolge angebracht sind. Dadurch erfolgt für die Zehnerscheibe 6a nach einer ersten Fortschaltung in die Stellung mit der in der Anzeigeposition 61 sichtbaren Leerstelle bzw. Null eine Fortschaltungspause von acht Schritten korrespondierend zu den 17 Zahnlücken und nach einer zweiten Fortschaltung in die Stellung mit der in der Anzeigeposition 61 sichtbaren Ziffer 1, eine Fortschaltungspause von zwei Schritten korrespondierend zu den 5 Zahnlücken. Durch die obige Wahl der Zahneinteilungen dreht sich somit das Programmantriebsrad 2 mit den Programmrädern 3,4 ein halbes Mal pro Jahr, ebenso wie die Zehnerscheibe 6a, während sich die Einerscheibe 9a einmal pro Jahr dreht.Teeth are each 17 tooth gaps and 5 tooth gaps in alternating order. As a result, for the
Die entstehenden Schaltphasen sind in der
Im Zusammenhang mit den
Unter Verweis auf die Draufsicht und den Schnitt der Abbildungen 2a und 2b soll nun die Beschreibung mit der Illustration einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung 10b der Programmräder 3b, 4b und der Scheiben 6b, 9b fortgeführt werden.Referring to the plan view and the section of Figures 2a and 2b, the description will now be continued with the illustration of an embodiment of the
Hinsichtlich der Anordnung der Anzeigescheiben 6b, 9b und der Programmräder 3b, 4b sowie des Prinzips deren Zusammenspiels bleibt hierbei das im Vorstehenden Gesagte gültig, lediglich die Auslegung bzw. Gestaltung der Anzeigescheiben 6b, 9b und der Programmräder 3b, 4b weicht von dem vorigen Beispiel ab.With regard to the arrangement of the
Die Einerscheibe 9b ist in diesem Falle auf ihrer zum Ziffernblatt gerichteten Seite, in einem konzentrischen Kreis gleichmäßig verteilt und etwa radial gerichtet, mit einer Ziffernfolge von 1 bis 9 bzw. einem Vielfachen davon versehen. Die Zehnerscheibe 6b weist auf ihrer zum Ziffernblatt gerichteten Seite, ebenfalls in einem konzentrischen Kreis gleichmäßig verteilt und etwa radial gerichtet, die Zahlen 10 bis 12 gefolgt von einer Leerstelle oder einer Null bzw. ein Vielfaches davon auf. In der Zehnerscheibe 6b ist zwischen der Leerstelle oder der Null und der Zahlenfolge ein zumindest der Größe einer Ziffer auf der Einerscheibe 9b entsprechendes, durchgehendes Fenster ausgebildet.The one-
Die Einerscheibe 9b ist mittels des Einerprogrammrads 4b über den Einertrieb 7 und die Zehnerscheibe 6b mittels des Zehnerprogrammrads 3b über den Zehnertrieb 5 mit einem Schritt pro Monat fortschaltbar, wie im vorigen Ausführungsbeispiel. Allerdings erfolgt im vorliegenden Beispiel auf Grund der verschiedenen Gestaltung der Scheiben zum einen für die Einerscheibe 9b nach einer Fortschaltung von neun Schritten eine Fortschaltungspause von drei Schritten und zum anderen für die Zehnerscheibe 6b im auf die letzte Fortschaltung der Einerscheibe 9b vor deren Fortschaltungspause folgenden Schritt bzw. im Laufe dieser letzten Fortschaltung der Einerscheibe 9b vor deren Fortschaltungspause eine Fortschaltung von vier Schritten sowie anschließend eine Fortschaltungspause von acht Schritten.The one-
Dies sei an Hand der Abbildungen 2c und 2d näher erläutert, welche die zugehörigen Programmräder 3b, 4b in übereinanderliegender Position sowie separat zeigen und die entstehenden Schaltphasen der Monatsanzeige illustrieren.This will be explained in more detail with reference to Figures 2c and 2d, which show the associated
Ein entsprechendes Einer- 4b und ein Zehnerprogrammrad 3b kann wiederum mit einer Zahneinteilung von 48 Zähnen sowie ein Programmrad 2 mit einer Zahneinteilung von 24 Zähnen gewählt werden. Wieder hat diese Wahl der Zahneinteilungen zur Folge, daß sich das drehfest mit den Programmrädern 3, 4 verbundene Programmantriebsrad 2 auf Grund dessen beibehaltener Fortschaltungsweise mit einem Schritt pro Monat ein halbes Mal pro Jahr dreht. Das Einerprogrammrad 4b weist hier tatsächlich 34 Zähne auf, wobei jeweils 17 Zähne in Serie von 7 Zahnlücken getrennt werden, wie in
Die entstehenden Schaltphasen sind, für die erste der beiden oben erwähnten Anordnungsmöglichkeiten der Programmräder 3b, 4b, in der
Hinsichtlich des Antriebs dieser Vorrichtung zur Datumsanzeige sind zwei Möglichkeiten vorsehbar, die jeweils auf beide der vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsformen der Programmräder und der zugehörigen Anzeigescheiben anwendbar sind.With regard to the drive of this device for date display, two possibilities can be provided, each of which is based on both of those described above Embodiments of the program wheels and the associated display discs are applicable.
Zunächst kann eine derartige Vorrichtung auf einfache, bekannte Weise vom Zeigerwerk angetrieben werden. Diese Möglichkeit ist in der
Des weiteren kann diese Vorrichtung auf vorteilhafte Weise anstatt vom Zeigerwerk von einem ewigen Kalendermechanismus angetrieben und gesteuert werden. Hierfür kann zum Beispiel ein bekannter Kalendermechanismus 30 des in der
Diese Konfiguration ist in den Abbildungen 3a bis 3c dargestellt, wobei die
Wie in der
Ausgehend vom Zahnrad 33 ist nun das Programmantriebsrad 2 über einen zweiten Satz von Zwischenrädern 40 vom ewigen Kalendermechanismus 30 der Uhr aus mit einem Schritt pro Monat fortschaltbar, indem ein erster Trieb 41 zum einen über ein erstes Ritzel mit dem Zahnrad 33 und zum anderen, durch eine entsprechende Höhe des entsprechenden zweiten Ritzels des Triebs 41, zugleich mit dem Einer- 4a und dem Zehnerprogrammrad 3a, welche drehfest und übereinanderliegend mit dem Programmantriebsrad 2 verbunden sind, im Eingriff steht. Während dies für den Beispiel 10a der Programmräder 3a, 4a möglich ist, da diese zusammen einen vollständigen Zahnradkranz bilden, muß auf Grund der wie oben erläutert entstehenden Zahnlücke der übereinanderliegenden Programmräder 3b, 4b in deren Ausführungsform 10b ein zusätzliches Antriebsrad 2b konzentrisch in den Block aus Programmantriebsrad 2 und Programmrädern 3b, 4b eingefügt werden. Dieses ist drehfest mit diesen verbunden und kämmt anstelle der Programmräder 3b, 4b mit dem zweiten Ritzel des Triebs 41, wie dies am besten in der Schnittdarstellung der
Der Kalendermechanismus 30 erlaubt, wie in der
Zudem kann auch eine Anzeigevorrichtung für die Tageszahl des aus der
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Datumsanzeige eignet sich durch ihren modularen Aufbau zur Integration in Uhren, insbesondere Armbanduhren, vielfältigen Typs, bevorzugt in komplexe Uhren. Dies erlaubt die Realisierung von Uhren mit einer großformatigen, digitalen Anzeige der Monatszahl und bei Bedarf zusätzlich mit einer großformatigen, digitalen Anzeige der Tageszahl sowie einer Anzeige der Jahreszahl, wobei diese Anzeigen entweder direkt vom Zeigerwerk oder von einem ewigen Kalendermodul angetrieben werden können.The inventive device for date display is suitable by its modular design for integration in watches, especially watches, various types, preferably in complex watches. This allows the realization of watches with a large-scale, digital display of the monthly number and, if necessary, in addition with a large-format, digital display of the number of days and a display of the year, these displays can be driven either directly from the movement or by a perpetual calendar module.
