Definitions

  • the invention relates to a watch glass with luminescent elements.
  • Dials with self-luminous, fluorescent luminous dots are well known.
  • associated pointers filled with self-luminous fluorescent compound are previously known.
  • the luminous dots on the dial and the self-illuminating hands aim to ensure that the watch wearer can read the time on his watch even at night without additional light.
  • the previous methods of self-luminous numeric and pointer display by fluorescent substances in, or next to the numbers, and on or in the hands but have a decisive design disadvantage.
  • the hands must be thick or wide to accommodate the luminescent material.
  • the numbers of the clock must divide the space with the luminous points, or the whole numbers must be so wide that they can be filled with luminous material.
  • a watch glass which comprises a cover glass, a carrier glass, which is connected to the cover glass for forming a glass unit, and a luminescent element, which is introduced into the glass unit.
  • the present invention relocates the placement of the luminescent element in the form of a luminescent element in the watch glass.
  • the luminescent element illuminates both the hands and the dial, which are located under the watch glass.
  • the hands which are free of luminescent material, can be designed freely.
  • other elements such as the numbers of the dial, etc., can be selected without design smears and have no luminescent material.
  • an improved pattern with regard to the distribution of the elements in the watch glass can be achieved, which in turn leads to an improved appearance of the watch glass or the watch.
  • the great advantage of the invention is that the luminescent element not only shines back to the viewer and thus is seen by itself. Rather, the luminescent element itself becomes a illuminator of the entire clock.
  • the luminescent element thus not only wants to be “seen”, but it also wants to illuminate the dial and the hands do not light up, they are illuminated, as in the daytime or with external lighting.This is because the luminescent element over the interior of the dial and the hands are integrated into the watch glass.
  • the cover glass is to be understood as a first glass and the carrier glass as a second glass.
  • the cover glass corresponds in particular to the glass, which faces a viewer or faces away from a bottom of a watch case.
  • the carrier glass corresponds to the glass which faces away from the observer or faces the bottom of the watch case.
  • Luminescent means that the element does not supply all or part of its externally supplied energy, for example by the sun, to its thermal energy If there is no activation process between the absorption of the energy and the emission, then it is called fluorescence, and if an excited intermediate state can "store" the energy for a certain period of time, then Phosphorescence spoken.
  • the term “luminescent” or “luminescence” serves as a generic term and includes the subordinate concepts of "fluorescence” and "phosphorescence".
  • the term “luminescent” or “luminescence” serves as a generic term and includes the subordinate concepts of "fluorescence” and "phosphorescence”.
  • the recess is formed completely in the carrier glass.
  • the luminescent element is closer to a dial and the hands of a watch having the described watch glass.
  • the intensity of the illumination of a illuminated by the luminescent element region of the dial is amplified.
  • the recess may preferably be formed in the carrier glass.
  • a larger area of the dial can be illuminated by the luminescent element.
  • Another advantage of a recess with luminescent mass in the carrier glass is that then the cover glass can be free of recesses. This facilitates the use of saffron glass as a cover glass, which is much more difficult to recess with than the softer mineral glass of the support glass.
  • the use of saffron glass as a cover glass or completion of the watch glass to the outside is expedient, since in high-quality watches, the scratch-resistant saffron glass is preferably used.
  • the luminescent element in the direction of the thickness of the glass unit is arranged centrally in the glass unit of the carrier glass and the cover glass.
  • the luminescent element is preferably positioned centrally in the glass unit in a direction perpendicular to the glass unit or to the larger area of the glass unit.
  • the luminescent element may preferably be formed as a gemstone, in particular diamond, and / or indicia and / or time marking element, wherein the gemstone, the indicia and the timing element have luminescent properties.
  • the entire recess is filled by the luminescent element.
  • the luminescent element There is essentially no air in the recess.
  • an otherwise occurring refraction of light at the boundary between air and the luminescent element can be avoided.
  • no light is lost or scattered due to such refraction of light.
  • the luminescent element occupies the recess only partially. This facilitates the introduction of the luminescent element into the recess. This is particularly advantageous if a luminescent element designed as a fluorescent gemstone, in particular a fluorescent diamond, for example in brilliant cut, is provided. In this case, the luminescent element does not occupy the entire recess. If z.
  • fluorescent gems especially natural fluorescent diamonds are used, preferably at least one black light LED can be mounted in the interior of the clock, which illuminates the fluorescent diamonds from below and brings to fluoresce. However, it is also conceivable that a black light LED is provided when other luminescent elements are used as fluorescent gems.
  • an intermediate layer is provided between the cover glass and the carrier glass.
  • the intermediate layer preferably comprises a self-crosslinking film, in particular polymer film and / or adhesive film, a silicone layer and / or an adhesive, which is in particular UV-curable.
  • the luminescent element may preferably be arranged in the intermediate layer.
  • the luminescent element is completely positioned in the intermediate layer.
  • a thickness of the luminescent element is smaller than a thickness of the intermediate layer.
  • a plurality of luminescent elements are preferably provided, the elements being arranged in a circumferential direction of the glass unit in the glass unit. In particular, the luminescent elements lie on a circle in the glass unit.
  • the recess and / or the luminescent element are preferably designed and / or arranged such that when the luminescent element is illuminated, light can be emitted from at least 50% of a surface of the underside of the carrier glass.
  • the first light from the luminescence will emerge upwards.
  • the daylight or an illuminating means, which stimulates the luminescence will in this case initially excite the upper layers of the luminous material and these will then increasingly reflect back into the eye of the observer.
  • the luminous material then also passes the energy downwards, even in the form of light, which then excites the deeper layers of the luminous material.
  • the term “luminescent element” in the formulation "light emerges from X% of a surface” also includes a multiplicity of luminescent elements To understand elements. In other words, the above statement about the percentage applies even if a plurality of luminescent elements are provided.
  • a further advantage of the positioning of the luminous substance (luminescent elements) in the watch glass is that the luminous efficacy of precisely this substance is very clearly optimized. If the luminous material is attached to the bottom of the interior of the clock, ie on the dial or on the hands, then only that light is effective, which radiates upward, that is to the viewer of the clock. That light which radiates in the opposite direction, that is to say on the dial, or on the hands on which the luminous substance is placed, is lost to the observer. In the present invention, since all the material surrounding the luminescent element (s) is transparent, a nearly 100% yield of the emitting light becomes. Thus, the effect of the luminous substance (no matter whether, for example, a chemical substance or a fluorescent gem stone) can be significantly optimized.
  • the invention further relates to a watch with a watch glass described above.
