- an annular disc 208 which has the recess 206 for the realistic display of the lunar phase, is eccentrically arranged above the disk 205 for the moon phase display.
- annular disc 208 are equidistantly arranged on a radius five recesses 209, 210, 211, 212 and 213. These five recesses 209, 210, 211, 212 and 213 cooperate with the markings 214 of the disc 205 so that the lunar cycle in 32 different exact phases of the moon corresponding to those in the Figures 19 and 20 can be displayed exactly.
- FIG. 23 are exemplified again five consecutive such phases of the moon during the waxing moon.
- the cycle display is always continued by 1/32. So in the second illustration of the FIG. 21 the recess 212 (denoted by 1 ⁇ 4) provided with a mark 214, while the further recess 209, 210, 211 and 213 have no such mark. Thus, the moon has now run through since the new moon 9/32 of his cycle, namely the traveled 2/8 plus 1 ⁇ 4 of 1/8.
- FIG. 23 a mechanism 300 of a further embodiment of a functional dial according to the invention is shown.

Due to the special arrangement of the racks 314 and 313 and the gears 306 and 307, the gears 308 and 309 are arranged in opposite directions.
- the eccentric mounting of the gear 305 on the gear 304 is dependent on the geographical location in which the clock is to be used.
- the clock is designed for a representation of the sunrise and sunset in Frankfurt am Main at a latitude of 50.1 degrees and a longitude of 8.6 degrees.
- the time of the sunrise or sunset can be read by the impact of the segments 311 and 312 on a perimeter, in the representation of the FIG. 25 There, however, no times are entered. These times can, however, according to a representation of an analog clock around the left circle in the FIG. 25 are arranged, on which the sunrise and - sunset display is arranged, but here should be provided a 24-hour display.
- FIG. 25 a zodiac sign display 326 is placed in the right circle.
- the local mechanics is in accordance with a previously for the embodiment of FIGS. 2 to 4 formed month display, since the signs of the zodiac run in time substantially synchronously with the individual months of the year.
- a correction device may be provided, as exemplified in FIG. 22 is shown. It can be seen that the gear 305 is also mounted here directly rotatably mounted on the gear 304. On the gear 304, however, a compensating member 321 is arranged, which is rotatably fixed on the one hand by means of a pin 322 in a guide track designed as a curved path and on the other hand to the pivot bearing 324 of the rack 315. By means of the pin 322 and the guide track 323, the eccentricity of the gear 305 to the gear 304 can now be varied.
- the guideway 323 is designed in such a way that a modified sinusoidal track can therefore be realized, whereby in particular the asynchronous arrangement of the sunrise and sunset should be compensated or approximated.
- the mechanisms 100, 200 and 300 shown in the described embodiments are realized via a plurality of gears and racks.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Funktionszifferblatt nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie eine Uhr mit einem solchen Funktionszifferblatt.The invention relates to a function dial according to the preamble of
Die Zifferblätter von Uhren dienen üblicherweise dazu, die Zeit in dem Format Stunde, Minute und gegebenenfalls Sekunde anzuzeigen. Allerdings erfreuen sich bereits seit Jahrzehnten mechanische Uhren erhöhter Beliebtheit, welche Komplikationen aufweisen. Unter Komplikation versteht man bei Uhren Zusatzfunktionen eines mechanischen Uhrwerks, die über die übliche Anzeige von Stunde, Minute und Sekunde hinausgehen. Derartige Komplikationen kann man daher als Module verstehen, die das Uhrwerk nutzen, aber nicht Teil dessen sind und die unter anderem Funktionen übernehmen wie Datumsanzeige, Großdatum, springenden Datumswechsel, Retrograte Anzeigen, Mondphasenanzeige, Vollkalender, Jahreskalender, ewiger Kalender, Chronometer Regulierung, Sekundenstopp, Chronograph, Rattrapante, Wecker, Minutenrepetition, Spielwerk, Zeitgleichung, mehrere Zeitzonen und dergleichen mehr.The dials of watches are usually used to display the time in the format hour, minute and if necessary second. However, mechanical watches have been enjoying increased popularity for decades, which have complications. Complication refers to additional functions of a mechanical movement that go beyond the usual display of hour, minute and second. Such complications can therefore be understood as modules which use the movement but are not part of it and which perform functions such as date display, big date, bouncing date change, retrograte indications, moon phase display, full calendar, annual calendar, perpetual calendar, chronometer regulation, stop second, Chronograph, rattrapante, alarm clock, minute repetition, movement, time equation, several time zones and the like.
Grundsätzlich ist es nun so, dass Uhren mit derartigen Komplikationen ein Zifferblatt zur Anzeige der entsprechenden Komplikation aufweisen. Allerdings handelt es sich bei derartigen Uhren mit integrierten Komplikationen in der Regel um Serienprodukte, sodass die Anzeige des Zifferblatts der jeweiligen Uhr in der Regel standardisiert ist. So zeigt beispielsweise die
Wie bereits erwähnt sind derartige Anzeigen für das jeweilige Uhrwerk in der Regel standardisiert, sodass gegebenenfalls durch Abänderung des eigentlichen Zifferblattes eine geringe Individualisierung erfolgen kann. Größere Individualisierungsgrade sind mit herkömmlichen Zifferblättern allerdings nicht realisierbar.
So sind beispielsweise aus den Dokumenten
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Funktionszifferblatt zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit dem ein hoher Grad an Individualisierung und Variabilität erzielt werden kann.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit einem Funktionszifferblatt mit allen Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs1 sowie durch eine Uhr mit einem derartigen Funktionszifferblatt. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung finden sich in den Unteransprüchen.
Das erfindungsgemäße Funktionszifferblatt für eine Uhr mit einem Uhrwerk, welches wenigstens eine Komplikation aufweist, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass es mehrschichtig mit mehreren gegeneinander fixierten Schichten als ein Gehäuse ausgebildet ist, wobei die einzelnen Schichten Durchbrüche aufweisen, in welchen eine Mechanik angeordnet ist, mit welcher die wenigstens eine Komplikation modifizierbar ist. Durch den Einsatz einer derartigen Mechanik in dem als Gehäuse ausgebildeten Funktionszifferblatt ist es ermöglicht, bestehende Komplikationen einer Uhr umzugestalten beziehungsweise zu modifizieren und auch neue Komplikationen zu schaffen, für die das Uhrwerk der Uhr nicht ausgebildet ist, ohne Modifikationen am Uhrwerk vornehmen zu müssen. Die einzelnen Schichten können dabei beispielsweise aus Scheiben bestehen, deren Dicke im Submillimeterbereich liegt und die je nach Komplikation und Gestaltung in Bezug auf Kontur, Material, Oberfläche, Bedruckung und dergleichen mehr variieren können. In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind diese Scheiben beziehungsweise Schichten einen Zehntelmillimeter dick. Diese Dimension hat sich bewährt, damit das erfindungsgemäße Funktionszifferblatt nicht zu dick wird, aber genügend Raum aufweist, um die Modifikation bestehender Komplikationen oder auch neue Komplikationen in dem Funktionszifferblatt unterbringen zu können. Die einzelnen Scheiben weisen dabei Durchbrüche auf, in welchen die Mechanik aufgenommen ist. Die aufeinander folgenden Schichten des Funktionszifferblatts werden dabei entsprechend gegeneinander fixiert. Diese Fixierung kann dabei auf verschiedenste Weise, wie z. B. durch Kleben, Klemmen, Schränken und dergleichen mehr erfolgen.
Dabei hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, dass die Mechanik derart ausgebildet ist, dass weitere Komplikationen mittels des Funktionszifferblatts darstellbar sind.
Ferner ist es auch möglich, dass die Mechanik derart ausgebildet wird, dass die wenigstens eine Komplikation an einer beliebigen Stelle des Funktionszifferblattes darstellbar ist.
Damit das Funktionszifferblatt beziehungsweise die einzelnen Schichten entsprechend gegeneinander und in Bezug auf die Uhr, in welcher es eingesetzt werden soll, ausgerichtet werden können, können die einzelnen Schichten Führungsdurchbrüche aufweisen, welche mit korrespondierenden Führungselementen der Uhr zusammenwirken.Basically, it is now so that watches with such complications have a dial to indicate the corresponding complication. However, such watches with integrated complications are usually series products, so that the indication of the clock face of the respective clock is usually standardized. For example, shows the
As already mentioned, such displays are generally standardized for the respective movement, so that, if necessary, a small individualization can be made by modifying the actual dial. However, larger degrees of customization can not be achieved with conventional dials.
For example, from the documents

Through the use of such a mechanism in the case designed as a functional dial it is possible to reshape or modify existing complications of a clock and also to create new complications for which the clockwork of the clock is not formed without having to make modifications to the movement. The individual layers can for example consist of discs whose thickness is in the submillimeter range and which can vary more depending on the complication and design in terms of contour, material, surface, printing and the like. In one embodiment of the invention, these slices or layers are one tenth of a millimeter thick. This dimension has been proven, so that the functional dial according to the invention is not too thick, but has enough space to accommodate the modification of existing complications or new complications in the function dial. The individual disks have openings in which the mechanism is accommodated. The successive layers of the function dial are fixed accordingly against each other. This fixation can in various ways, such. B. by gluing, terminals, cabinets and the like more done.
It has proven to be advantageous that the mechanism is designed such that further complications can be displayed by means of the function dial.
Furthermore, it is also possible that the mechanism is designed in such a way that the at least one complication can be displayed at any point of the function dial.
So that the functional dial or the individual layers can be aligned with respect to each other and with respect to the clock in which it is to be used, the individual layers can have guide openings which interact with corresponding guide elements of the clock.
Hierdurch ist gewährleistet, dass die einzelnen Schichten des Funktionszifferblatts exakt zueinander angeordnet werden, sodass die Modifikation der bestehenden Komplikation beziehungsweise die Einführung einer weiteren Komplikation gewährleistet ist. Die einzelnen Schichten weisen dabei entsprechende Form und Kontur auf, um die zur Durchführung der entsprechenden Komplikation notwendige Mechanik aufzunehmen. Hierdurch ist eine passgenaue Montage des Funktionszifferblatts ermöglicht.This ensures that the individual layers of the functional dial are arranged exactly to one another, so that the modification of the existing complication or the introduction of a further complication is ensured. The individual layers have corresponding shape and contour to accommodate the necessary to perform the corresponding complication mechanics. As a result, a precise installation of the function dial is possible.
Der schichtweise Aufbau des Funktionszifferblatts eröffnet weitere Gestaltungsfreiheitsgrade, die zu einer besseren Ablesbarkeit der Komplikationen führen können. So kann beispielsweise durch das Eintauchen von Zeigern in das Funktionszifferblatt die Darstellung der Datumsanzeige mit größeren Ziffern ermöglicht werden, was gleichermaßen eine Verbesserung der Lesbarkeit bedeutet.The layered structure of the functional dial opens up further design degrees of freedom, which can lead to a better readability of the complications. For example, by dipping pointers into the function dial, it is possible to display the date display with larger numbers, which also improves readability.
Dabei können Skalen, Ziffern, Schriften, Symbole und dergleichen mehr auch als Durchbrüche in den einzelnen Schichten des Funktionszifferblatts ausgebildet sein. Diese können zudem als Alternative für eine Bedruckung gesehen werden. Dieses ist gerade dann gegeben, wenn z. B. eine andersfarbige Oberfläche der vorherigen Schicht zu sehen ist oder der Durchdringungsbereich mit Farbe beziehungsweise Leuchtfarbe ausgefüllt ist. Die Durchbrüche auf den jeweiligen sichtbaren Schichten können aber auch bei entsprechender Form und Auslegung zur Aufnahme von Indexen beziehungsweise deren Befestigung verwendet werden.In this case, scales, numbers, fonts, symbols and the like can also be designed as breakthroughs in the individual layers of the functional dial. These can also be seen as an alternative for printing. This is just then when z. B. a different colored surface of the previous layer can be seen or the penetration area is filled with color or luminescent color. The breakthroughs on the respective visible layers can also be used with appropriate shape and design for receiving indices or their attachment.
Durch die Erfindung ist die Realisierung von nahezu jedem individualisierten Kundenwunsch im Hinblick auf Gestaltung des Zifferblatts durch die große Vielzahl an Kombinationen der einzelnen Schichten des Funktionszifferblatts im puncto Kontur, Material, Oberfläche, Bedruckung und dergleichen mehr gegeben.With the invention, the realization of almost every individualized customer request in terms of design of the dial by the large variety of combinations of the individual layers of the function dial in terms of contour, material, surface, printing and the like is given more.
Dabei kann die Individualisierung beispielsweise durch Verwendung eines Visualisierungsprogramms ermöglicht werden. Somit können an einem Bildschirm die zur Auswahl stehenden sichtbaren Ebenen beziehungsweise Schichten des Funktionszifferblatts konfiguriert und somit die individuelle Gestaltung und letzten Endes das Aussehen des Zifferblattes der Uhr persönlich bestimmt werden.In this case, the individualization can be made possible for example by using a visualization program. Thus, the available visible levels or layers of the function dial can be configured on a screen and thus the individual design and ultimately the appearance the dial of the watch will be determined personally.
Dabei hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, dass für die einzelnen Schichten, insbesondere der Schichten, in denen die Mechanik untergebracht ist und die im fertigen Funktionszifferblatt nicht sichtbar sind, der Einsatz von Basiskomponenten vorgesehen ist. Hierdurch ist sowohl die Montage des Funktionszifferblatts vereinfacht als auch eine Reduzierung der Investitionskosten für den Montageprozess beziehungsweise der Einzelteile des Funktionszifferblatts erreicht.It has proved to be advantageous that the use of base components is provided for the individual layers, in particular the layers in which the mechanism is housed and which are not visible in the finished function dial. As a result, both the assembly of the function dial is simplified as well as a reduction of the investment costs for the assembly process or the individual parts of the function dial is achieved.
Die Verwendung von vorgefertigten Schichten und deren Funktionsteilen stellt eine Vereinfachung in der Herstellung des Funktionszifferblatts auch gegenüber herkömmlichen Zifferblättern dar, da die Verwendung von möglichtst vielen Gleichteilen für unterschiedlichste Funktionszifferblätter erreicht wird.The use of prefabricated layers and their functional parts is a simplification in the production of the function dial also over conventional dials, since the use of as many common parts for different function dials is achieved.

Die Mechanik 300 weist dabei einen Zahnradsatz 301 mit Zahnrädern 302 bis 310 sowie Zahnstangen 313 bis 316 auf. Dabei ist das Zahnrad 310 mit einer Komplikation eines Uhrwerks einer Uhr mechanisch koppelbar, wobei diese Komplikation zur Anzeige des Tages des Monats ausgebildet ist. D. h. das Zahnrad 310 dreht sich innerhalb eines Monats einmal um 360°. Das Zahnrad 310 kämmt dabei mit einem weiteren Zahnrad 302. Auf dem Zahnrad 302 ist konzentrisch ein weiteres Zahnrad 303 aufgesetzt, welches mit einem Zahnrad 304 kämmt. Die Anzahl der Zähne der einzelnen Zahnräder 310, 302, 303 und 304 ist dabei derart gewählt, dass das Zahnrad 310 innerhalb von 31 Tagen sich einmal um 360° dreht, während das Zahnrad 304 sich einmal um 360° gedreht hat, wenn das Zahnrad 310 zwölf Umdrehungen durchgeführt hat. Dies bedeutet, dass das Zahnrad 304 innerhalb eines Jahres eine Drehung um 360° durchführt. Auf dem Zahnrad 304 ist exzentrisch ein Zahnrad 305 drehbar gelagert, welches durch das Zahnrad 304 exzentrisch mitgedreht wird. Mit dem Zahnrad 305 kämmen dabei Zahnstangen 315 und 316, wobei die Zahnstange 315 an seinem einen Ende mittels eines Drehlagers 324 um einen festen Drehpunkt 325 drehbar gelagert ist. Die Zahnstange 316 ist dabei verschiebbar gegenüber der Zahnstange 315 gelagert, wie dies auch aus den Darstellungen der
An der Zahnstange 316 sind zwei weitere, linear verschiebbare Zahnstangen 313 und 314 über eine Drehverbindung angeordnet, wobei die Zahnstange 314 direkt mit einem Zahnrad 308 kämmt, während die Zahnstange 313 in Eingriff mit einem Zahnrad 307 und/oder in Eingriff mit einem Zahnrad 306 ist, wobei diese Zahnräder 306 und 307 mit einem weiteren Zahnrad 309 kämmen. Die Zahnräder 308 und 309 sind dabei jeweils mit einer Aussparung 317 und 318 versehen und weisen Segmente 311 und 312 auf, die am längsten Tag des Jahres, nämlich am 21. Juni, die Aussparungen 317 und 318 einen größtmögliche gemeinsamen Ausschnitt bilden. Durch die spezielle Anordnung der Zahnstangen 314 und 313 sowie der Zahnräder 306 und 307 sind die Zahnräder 308 und 309 gegenläufig angeordnet. D. h. wenn das eine Zahnrad 308 eine Linksdrehung durchführt, führt das andere Zahnrad 309 eine Rechtsdrehung durch und umgekehrt. Nachdem die Aussparungen 317 und 318 am 21. Juli einen größtmöglichen gemeinsamen Ausschnitt bilden, verringert sich dieser nun bis zum 21. Dezember, an dem die Aussparungen 317 und 318 einen kleinstmöglichen gemeinsamen Ausschnitt bilden. Aufgrund der speziellen Mechanik 300 findet dabei jeweils am 21 Juli und am 21 Dezember eine Umkehr der Drehrichtung der die Aussparungen 317 und 318 sowie die Segmente 311 und 312 aufweisenden Zahnräder 308 und 309 statt.On the

Auch wenn in den einzelnen Ausführungsbeispielen jeweils nur die Modifizierung beziehungsweise Erzeugung einer Komplikation beschrieben ist, ist es natürlich auch möglich, die Modifikation und Erzeugung verschiedenster Komplikationen innerhalb eines einzigen Funktionszifferblattes zu realisieren. Hierzu ist nur eine entsprechende Anzahl von unterschiedlichen Schichten notwendig. Da die einzelnen Schichten im Submillimeterbereich liegen, können mit einer entsprechenden Anzahl von Schichten mehrere Modifikationen von bereits vorhandenen Komplikationen eines Uhrwerks oder auch die Schaffung weiterer Komplikationen durch das Funktionszifferblatt in einfacher Art und Weise realisiert werden.Although in each embodiment only the modification or generation of a complication is described, it is of course also possible to realize the modification and generation of various complications within a single function dial. For this purpose, only a corresponding number of different layers is necessary. Since the individual layers lie in the submillimeter range, with a corresponding number of layers several modifications of already existing complications of a movement or the creation of further complications can be realized by the function dial in a simple manner.
Ferner werden die in den beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen dargestellte Mechaniken 100, 200 und 300 über eine Vielzahl von Zahnrädern und Zahnstangen realisiert. Es ist allerdings auch denkbar, zur Realisierung der Mechaniken 100, 200 und 300 andere Übertragungsmechanismen, wie beispielsweise Seilzüge oder dergleichen mehr beziehungsweise Kombinationen davon einzusetzen.
