Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an analog display watch having a first time display for a first time zone, associated with a first time setting device, a second time display for a second time zone, associated with a second manual setting device. at time, and a time zone indicator having at least one index and a ring of places provided with place symbols which represent time zones, the ring of locations being rotatable next to said index or vice versa, the first manual time-setting device being capable of simultaneously setting the first and second time displays simultaneously, and the second time-setting device being able to rotate the second time display together step by step and time zone indicator without changing the state of the first time display.
  • the time display comprises four central hands, including a second hand and a minute hand which are driven as usual by the watch movement.
  • the pavement drives a 24-hour wheel carrying a first hour hand, to indicate for example the time of the beam home ("home time") on a scale of 24 hours.
  • home time the time of the beam home
  • a second hour hand is secured to a 12-hour wheel which is connected to the 24-hour wheel by a planetary gear, including the planet carrier is provided with the ring of places with city names appearing in turn in a window of the dial to identify the second time zone.
  • a usual time-setting device with a stem and a crown makes it possible to simultaneously rotate the 24-hour wheel and the 12-hour wheel, thus the two hour hands. the minute hand.
  • a second time-setting device operated by means of a manual crown or pushers, moves in 1/24 turn steps the planet carrier, thus the ring of the places and simultaneously the 24 hour wheel. his needle.
  • the present invention aims to create a watch able to display simultaneously and clearly the hours of two time zones, facilitating the manipulations required for time changes and / or time zone.
  • a particular goal is to allow the user to take into account the summer and winter times for each of the two locations, so as to introduce the correct time difference between the two displays of time.
  • a watch of the type indicated in the preamble above characterized in that it comprises, in addition to the first and second time-setting devices, a manual corrector place, able to rotate Step by step through the ring of places without changing the state of the first and second time displays.
  • the time zone indicator comprises two indexes, angularly offset by 1/24 of a turn, so that when the symbol of a given time zone is next to the first of these index, the second time display shows the time normal or winter, while when the same symbol is next to the second index, the second time display shows daylight saving time in the same time zone, if applicable.
  • it is the ring places that is rotatable, while said first and second indexes are counters in the dial for hourly displays.
  • the watch shown comprises a box 30 containing in particular the specific display members of the present invention.
  • manual control members comprising two setting crowns 31 and 32, a date setting ring 33 and a location correction push-button 34.
  • the watch On its upper face, the watch has a dial 36 serving all the displays mentioned below.
  • Other elements of the watch which are not necessary to describe the present invention, are omitted from the drawings for simplicity.
  • a first time display 40 comprising a minute hand 42 and an hour hand 41 making a turn in twenty-four hours next to a corresponding hour-turn 43 which is off-center on the dial 36.
  • a second time display 44 comprising a central minute hand 46 and a central hour hand 45 making a turn in twelve hours next to a traditional clock tower 47 centered in the dial 36, which corresponds in the usual display mode and thus allows a fast and safe reading.
  • This second time display 44 further comprises a day / night indicator 48 including, for example, a needle 49 coupled to the needle 46 by a gear so as to make a turn in twenty-four hours.
  • the two time displays 40 and 44 are driven by the clock movement housed in the box 30. This movement could also cause a second hand, added to one or other of the time displays.
  • a time zone indicator 50 comprises two windows 51 and 52 formed in the dial 36 and angularly offset by 1/24 of a turn relative to the center of the dial, to show two equally offset sectors on a rotating locus ring 53, represented in FIG. part in the figure 2 and carrying a circular array of symbols 54 each representing one of the time zones currently used in the world.
  • the first window 51 is used in combination with the display of the standard time of a time zone, which is also the winter time of this time zone if there is one summer time in the territory considered.
  • the watch includes a calendar display 55 and a moon phase indicator 56 that are not part of the invention described here, but the date indication can provide useful information in combination with one of the time displays and the time zone indicator.
  • the place symbols 54 applied to the ring of places 53 comprise twenty-four main symbols, mutually spaced at an angle of 15 °, representing an offset of one hour.
  • symbols 54 are here formed of three letters constituting a code of a well known place (city, airport, island), characterizing the time zone situation on the globe.
  • LAX is the IATA code of Los Angeles International Airport.
  • Additional symbols 54a are interposed between the main symbols, with an angular deviation of 7.5 ° with respect to one of them, to represent intermediate time zones in which the time difference with respect to UTC is one half hour plus a whole number of hours.
  • additional symbols 54a those seen in the figure 4 represent the respective spindles of Iran (THR), Afghanistan (KBL), India (DEL), Vietnamese (MYA), Central Australia (DRW), Norfolk Island (NLK) and the Marquesas Islands (MAQ).
  • other additional symbols 54b are interposed between the main symbols, with an angular deviation of 3.75 ° with respect to one of them, to represent intermediate time zones in which the time shift legal compared to UTC is one or three quarters of an hour plus a whole number of hours.
  • these additional symbols 54b we see in the figure 4 those representing the Nepal UTC-5: 45 spindle (KTM), and the Chatham Islands (CHI) UTC + 12: 45 spindle.
  • a support 58 incorporated in the ring 53 is provided with notches 59 in which can engage a roller 65 of a jumper 60 pushed by a spring 61.
  • the support 58 further comprises a toothing 62 to ninety-six teeth, for rotating the ring 53 in steps of 3 , 75 ° corresponding to an offset of a quarter of an hour, this step being also the module of the differences between the symbols 54 and between the notches 59.
  • repeated presses on this pusher allow the user to manually rotate the ring of places 53 to display the desired symbol 54 in any of the windows 51 and 52.
  • the second time display 44 there are conventional elements of the second time display 44, namely the hour wheel 66, the minute wheel 67 and the timer wheel 68 connecting these two wheels.
  • these elements are driven from the movement by means of a minute wheel 70 coupled to the wheel of the first time display 40 and provided with spring catches 71 capable of snapping into notches. 72 of the wheel 67.
  • the angular pitch between the notches 72 corresponds to the smallest fraction of an hour between the time zones indicated by the ring 53, so a quarter of an hour in the present case, corresponding to a quarter turn of the minutes wheel 67.
  • setting the time of the first time display 40 rotates the minute handwheel 70 and with it the wheel 67, thus simultaneously sets the second time display 44.
  • the figure 2 also shows a second manual time-setting device 74, which the user actuates manually by the ring gear 32 fixed to a control rod 75 of conventional construction, with a sliding pinion 76 which engages with a pinion gear.
  • time setting 77 when the crown 32 is pulled.
  • the pinion 77 drives an intermediate wheel 78 which is engaged with an intermittent mechanism 79 comprising a wheel 80 secured to a switching wheel 81.
  • the periphery thereof has four toothed sectors 82 each comprising a quarter of the number of teeth of the minute wheel 67, to drive it in steps of a quarter of a turn.
  • the mobile 70 is retained by the first time display, so that the notches 72 move relative to the pawls 71 and engage every quarter hour of jet lag .
  • a wheel of switching 86 having four teeth spaced to drive gear 63 intermittently, and a star 87 with four branches.
  • the jumper 60 cooperates with the star 87 to produce two effects when its roller 65 engages in one of the notches of the ring places 53: give on the ring 32 a snap sensation each time a symbol 54 is located in front of one of the windows 51 and 52, and on the other hand holds the device 74 in stop positions where the intermittently moving mechanisms 79 and 84 are decoupled from the driven members 67 and 63 and prevent therefore that these bodies 67 and 63 can drive the intermediate wheel 78 and therefore the other body. This is due to the fact that, in the four stop positions determined by the jumper 60, the teeth of the wheel 86 remain out of reach of the teeth of the pinion 63, just as the toothed sectors 82 remain out of reach of the teeth of the minute wheel 67.
  • each of the two mechanisms with intermittent movement transmits the movement only from the ring 32 and the intermediate wheel 78. Thanks to these decoupling, the actuation of the pusher 34 does not alter the time displays 44 and 40, and the joint time setting of the two time displays by means of the first ring 31 does not change anything in the time zone indicator 50.
  • a time-setting mechanism similar to that of an ordinary watch is operated to set the first time display 40 to the home time, for example 8:10 according to the figure 3 .
  • said mechanism acts in the same way on the second time display 44, which will take a position depending on its initial state. The crown 31 can then be pushed back.
  • both the second time display 44 and the ring of the places 53 are rotated and the passage is sensed 59 each.
  • timezone symbol 54 arrives just in front of one of the windows 51 and 52.
  • the wearer of the watch travels to a country in the same time zone as Moscow (MOW).
  • MOW By pulling the crown 32 and rotating it in the direction corresponding to an eastward trip, it moves the second time display 44 and the location ring 53 together to bring the MOW symbol behind the top window 52, if daylight saving time currently applies in the country of destination, or otherwise behind the lower window 51 as is the case in the figure 6 .
  • Display 44 advanced exactly two hours in this case.
  • the example of figure 1 represents a similar operation in the case where the traveler goes to Norfolk Island, located in the southern hemisphere. It is assumed that summer time is then in effect. The corresponding symbol NLK must therefore be brought behind the upper window 52.
  • the second time display indicates 19:40, the time difference with the winter time of Central Europe (FRA time zone) being then 10 hours 30 minutes plus 1 hour for daylight saving time on Norfolk Island.
  • this time zone watch is both versatile and easy to use.
  • the use of two separate time displays 40 and 44 with two hands each makes it possible to read the two times in a precise and unambiguous manner, and on the other hand the manual control means allow, by simple manipulations, display the time of any place in the world and make time zone changes taking into account daylight saving time and hemispheric changes, if any.
