Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clock with a map and / or pointers for displaying at least two times.
  • Such clocks are designed, for example, such that a time indicated on the clock can be compared to a specific time zone and / or comparable to a time in another time zone.
  • a clock which has hands and a rotatable map with the south pole as the center.
  • the hour hand is coupled with the map to the movement and rotates with this in 24 hours by 360 degrees.
  • a scale with 24 time-zone sectors is provided, which is rotatable relative to a fixed scale with also 24 time-zone sectors. From the position of the hands and the relative position of the two sectors, the time can be read in different time zones.
  • the South Pole is the center of the map. This representation has the disadvantage that it is relatively difficult to recognize for which place on the map time is valid. Furthermore, it is difficult to capture the time in two different time zones at a glance.
  • a clock which has a main hour hand for indicating a main time and a plurality of auxiliary hours hands for indicating auxiliary times.
  • the first hour hand rotates 360 degrees in 12 hours, while the auxiliary hour hand turns full circle in 24 hours.
  • the auxiliary hours hands and the main hour hand have different turning centers, so that they have relatively small dimensions and the reading of the auxiliary times is difficult.
  • no map is provided, which makes it difficult for the user to see at a glance, for which place a displayed time applies.
  • the clock comprises a map on the dial as well as a rotatable with respect to the map Disk for marking places. It will therefore be easy to see for what place on the map a time indicated on the watch is valid by turning the glass so that the corresponding place is marked on the map.
  • the watch comprises two hour hands rotatable about a common center, which are 24-hour hands.
  • the hour hands therefore rotate 360 degrees in 24 hours.
  • Another advantage is the simplified design of the dial, as a single scale is sufficient to read both times.
  • a wristwatch which is designed as an analog clock. It includes a fixed dial 10 on a 24-hour basis.
  • the numbers "6", "12", “18” and "24" for the corresponding hour are indicated on the edge portion 10a of the dial 10.
  • other numbers between 0 and 24 may be indicated on the edge portion 10a and / or dashes may be provided for more accurate reading of the positions of the hands 11a, 11b, 13, 14.
  • the hands 11a, 13, 14 rotate around a common point 10b such that the hour hand 11a in 24 hours, the minute hand 13 in 60 minutes and the second hand 14 will make a full turn in 60 seconds.
  • the hands 11a, 13, 14 are coupled to a clockwork (not shown here).
  • the pointer 11a is coupled in the usual way via the pointer movement with the minute.
  • the movement is, for example, spring or battery powered depending on the application.
  • a second hour hand 11b is provided, which also rotates about the center 10b and that as the first hour hand 11a in 24 hours by 360 degrees.
  • the two hour hands 11a, 11b are arranged in the center 10b one above the other so that they are rotatable relative to each other.
  • the hour in the respective time zone results from the position of the respective hour hand 11a or 11b.
  • the of The minutes and seconds shown in the hands 13, 14 are the same for the two time zones. Since both hands 11a and 11b are 24-hour hands, the same schedule on the edge portion 10a is usable to read the time in the two time zones. This facilitates reading and comparing the two times.
  • the first hour hand 11a is continuously rotatably coupled to the movement.
  • a display window 15 is arranged on the edge region 10a, here at the hour “24". In this information 21 to the location are displayed, for which the time in the second time zone applies.
  • the dial 10 has within the edge area 10a a map 16, which is a representation of the world, here in a representation with Western Europe in the middle. There are also other representations conceivable, for. For example, those with Asia or America in the middle, excerpts of a world map, z. B. single continents or another, extending over several time zones area, etc.
  • a disc 20 is arranged, which serves to mark the current location.
  • the disc 20 is rotatably mounted, and also about the center of rotation 10b.
  • the disk 20 is thus arranged concentrically with the dial 10.
  • the rotational position of the disc 20 is manually adjustable. This disc 20 is arranged so decoupled from the movement that its position during the rotation of the hands 11a, 11b, 13, 14 remains unchanged.
  • the disc 20 is coupled to a detent mechanism (not shown) which defines a number N of rotational positions of the disc with respect to the dial 10 with the map 16.
  • the locking mechanism has, for example, a spring which holds the disc 20 in a certain rotational position.
  • the rotational positions are z. B. defined by formed on the edge of the disc 20 notches, in which the spring can engage.
  • the number N corresponds to the number of selected locations and is 24 in this example.
  • the disc 20 can u. a. visualize a location on the map 16 and locate it accordingly.
  • information about the location can be displayed in the display window 15.
  • the disk 20 is in Fig. 2 shown.
  • information 21 about the selected locations is circulating.
  • This location information 21 can be designed arbitrarily.
  • an abbreviation is used for each location as used in the airport codes, eg. B. ZRH for "Zurich"
  • other abbreviations or other representations are conceivable.
  • an opening 20b to the hands 11a, 11b, 13, 14 can be coupled to the clockwork.
  • a marker 22 is assigned, which is arranged between edge area 20a and opening 20b.
  • the markers 22 are, for example, colored circular disks, z. Eg red dots.
  • the markers 22 are arranged so that when location information 21 is displayed in the display window 15, the associated mark 22 is located below the hole 17 which marks the corresponding location on the map 16. So are in the in Fig. 1 shown setting of the turntable 20 in the display window 15, the location information 21 "ZRH" for "Zurich” and on the map 16 at the appropriate location to see the mark 22.
  • the locations on the map 16 and the order of the location information 21 on the turntable 20 it is ensured that only one mark 22 can be seen on the map 16 when a location information 21 can be seen in the display window 15. So z.
  • the two locations Sydney (SYD) and Brisbane (BNE) are selected, whose corresponding holes 17 'and 17 "are approximately equidistant from the center of rotation 10b of the disc 20 (cf. Fig. 1 ).
  • the corresponding markings 22 'and 22 "on the disc 20 are also approximately equidistant from the center of rotation 10b., Seen clockwise, the hole 17" to Brisbane is located in front of the hole 17' to Sydney, while the mark 22 "and the location information BNE are arranged according to the marking 22 'or the location information SYD, therefore, if, for example, the marking 22' lies below the hole 17 ', there is located the hole 17 "in front and the mark 22" thereafter and therefore can not cover.
  • Fig. 3 in which the dial 10 is shown transparent, the arrangement of the holes 17 and the markings 22 can be seen. In the position shown, ZRH is selected so that only the mark labeled 22 "'is under a hole 17.
  • Fig. 4 shows the rotating means for rotating the disc 20.
  • the rotating means comprises a driver 40 in the form of a ring which has teeth 41 in the inner edge, and a Fortschaltrad 42 with a Fortschaltstern 43, which here has four arms.
  • the indexing wheel 42 is coupled to a crown 30 (see. Fig. 1 ) that it is rotated by turning the crown 30.
  • the arms of the indexing star 43 are shaped such that upon rotation of the wheel 42 in one direction (here in the clockwise direction) the indexing star 43 is in engagement with the driver 40 and so is also rotated, and that upon rotation of the wheel 42 in the other direction (here counterclockwise), the arms of the star 43 is moved over a tooth 41 and thus the driver 40 stops.
  • bendable driver elements 44 are formed in the form of tongues, z. B. by punching in the ring.
  • the in Fig. 4 shown top of the driver 40 placed on the underside of the disc 20 and the driver elements 44 to the disc 20 bent out. This has (not shown here) projections, which serve as stops for the elements 44. If the driver 40 as described above by means of the crown 30 in one Direction (clockwise here) rotated, the rotation is transmitted via the driver elements 44 on the disc 20.
  • Fig. 1 Also shown is an adjustment device which has a crown 30 attached to the end of a shaft.
  • the crown 30 can be pulled out of the watch case together with the shaft, so that together with the marked basic position 31, two further positions 32 and 33 (in FIG Fig. 1 dashed lines) can take.
  • the spring can be raised by turning the crown 30 in the basic position 31.
  • the independent adjustment of pointer 11b and disc 20 has the advantage that the displayed on the map 16 place can be adapted to the local time. So z. B. the conversion of summer and winter time depending on the location handled differently. When entering a next time zone, therefore, the time difference may be other than 1 hour.
  • the hour hand 11a and the minute hand 13 are adjustable.
  • the angle between the two Hour hands 11a and 11b remain the same, ie, if the first hour hand 11a is presented, for example, by one hour, then the second hour hand 11b also advances by one hour.
  • the second hand 14 remains unchanged.
  • the clock shown here makes it easy to read two times, for example a home time and a local time, and determine for which place the local time applies. Since both hour hands 11a and 11b are designed for a 24-hour scale, it is very easy to see which is the time difference between the two times.
  • the second hand 14 may also be omitted.
  • the provision of the rotatable disk 20 for marking locations on the map 16 as well as the provision of two 24-hour hands 11a, 11b can also be implemented independently of each other on a clock.
