<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate rotational motion around the driving shaft of timepiece hands and to slim the widths of a clock itself and a character plate. <P>SOLUTION: The clock can indicate time by using a rectilinear motion as a motion method for timepiece hands on the character plate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、時計に関するものであり、時計針を文字盤上で直線運動させる事により、時刻を表示するようにしたものである。 The present invention relates to a timepiece, and displays time by moving a clock hand in a straight line on a dial.

従来から、アナログ時計は、時計針が文字盤に表記された円周上の指標を辿るように駆動軸を中心とした回転運動することにより時刻を表示する。 Conventionally, an analog timepiece displays a time by a rotational movement about a drive shaft so that a clock hand follows an index on a circumference indicated on a dial.

しかし従来のような時計針の回転運動で時刻を示す為には、時針と分針の長さに十分な差をつける必要がある。 また、文字盤は時針の2倍以上の幅を要する。 本発明は文字盤上での時計針の駆動軸を中心とした回転運動を無くすことにより、 時計本体及び文字盤の幅をスリムにし、斬新なファッション性を生み出すことを課題とする。 However, in order to indicate the time by the rotational movement of the clock hand as in the prior art, it is necessary to make a sufficient difference between the lengths of the hour hand and the minute hand. Moreover, the dial requires a width that is at least twice that of the hour hand. An object of the present invention is to reduce the width of the timepiece main body and the dial and to produce a novel fashion by eliminating the rotational movement around the clock shaft on the dial.

この課題を解決する為の請求項目1の発明は、文字盤上の時計針の運動方法を回転運動から直線運動に変えることにより、時計本体をスリムにする。 The invention of claim 1 for solving this problem makes the timepiece main body slim by changing the movement method of the clock hands on the dial from rotational movement to linear movement.

時計本体がスリムになる。 又、時計針が従来の回転運動から直線運動になることが、新しい時刻表示及びファッション性を生み出す。 The watch body becomes slim. Also, the clock hands change from the conventional rotational movement to a linear movement, creating a new time display and fashion.

図1は文字盤(ア)に時指標(イ)及び分指標(ウ)を各々一列に表記し、時針(エ)及び分針(オ)を各々指標に沿って直線運動させて時刻表示をする時計の正面図である。 文字盤(ア)の上には指標(イ)(ウ)が円周上ではなく直線上に表記されている。 時計針(エ)(オ)は指標(イ)(ウ)に沿って移動して時刻を表示する。 文字盤(ア)には時計針(エ)(オ)の移動の為に指標(イ)(ウ)に沿って穴が開いている。 図1では時刻は2時55分を表す。 In FIG. 1, the hour indicator (b) and minute indicator (c) are shown in a line on the dial (a), and the hour hand (d) and minute hand (e) are moved linearly along the indicators to display the time. It is a front view of a timepiece. On the dial (a), the indicators (b) and (c) are not shown on the circumference but on a straight line. The clock hands (e) and (e) move along the indices (b) and (c) to display the time. The dial (A) has holes along the indicators (I) and (C) for the movement of the clock hands (D) and (E). In FIG. 1, the time represents 2:55.

図2は分針(オ)が文字盤(ア)上を分指標(ウ)に対して平行移動をして文字盤裏に隠れまた表に出てくる仕組みの一例である。
文字盤(ア)上で分針(オ)は指標左端から右端に向かって移動する。 指標右端を通過すると分針(オ)は文字盤裏へ隠れ、文字盤裏を指標右端側から左端側に移動して再び文字盤上へ姿を現す。
FIG. 2 shows an example of a mechanism in which the minute hand (e) moves on the dial (a) in parallel with the minute indicator (c) and is hidden behind the dial and appears on the front.
On the dial (a), the minute hand (e) moves from the left end of the index toward the right end. When passing the right end of the indicator, the minute hand (O) hides behind the dial, moves the back of the dial from the right end of the indicator to the left end, and reappears on the dial.

従来の円周上に表記されている指標と異なり、直線上に表記された指標では左端に記された始まりと右端に記された終わりが生じる。 しかし、時刻表示は継続する為、図3のように指標(ア)の終わりに分針が到着した際は第2の分針が指標の始まりに現れるようにすることによって時刻表示の継続性を保つ。 また、2つの分針が文字盤上に現れている間、文字盤裏を右端から左端に移動する分針が存在する為、最低3つの分針を必要とする。時針についても同様の仕組みとなる。 図3の時刻は3時00分を表す。 Unlike the index written on the circumference of the conventional circle, the index written on the straight line has the beginning written at the left end and the end marked at the right end. However, since the time display continues, the continuity of the time display is maintained by causing the second minute hand to appear at the beginning of the index when the minute hand arrives at the end of the index (A) as shown in FIG. In addition, there are minute hands that move the back of the dial from the right end to the left end while two minute hands appear on the dial, so at least three minute hands are required. The same mechanism is applied to the hour hand. The time in FIG. 3 represents 3:00.

以上、一実施形態に基づいて、本発明を説明したが、本発明は、これに限定されるものではない。 上記実施形態では、2つの歯車(ク)にかけたチェーン(キ)に設けた分針(オ)をスライドさせたが、本発明はこれに限らず、他の方法で時計針を直接運動させて時刻を表示することもできる。 また図1では時針(エ)と分針(オ)を設けて説明したが、図5,6にあるように秒針(カ)も加えることができ、さらに図7の様に時針(エ)、分針(オ)を直線運動とし秒針を従来の回転運動にするといった様に組み合わせて時刻を表示する事もできる。 As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on one Embodiment, this invention is not limited to this. In the above-described embodiment, the minute hand (e) provided on the chain (g) applied to the two gears (c) is slid. Can also be displayed. In FIG. 1, the hour hand (d) and the minute hand (e) have been described. However, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a second hand (f) can be added, and as shown in FIG. The time can also be displayed by combining (e) with a linear motion and the second hand with a conventional rotational motion.

また、上記実施形態では、機械式のアナログ式時計について説明したが、デジタル式の時計に対しても適用が可能である。この場合、例えば、文字板に相当するデジタル表示で時計針が直線移動するようにデジタル表示するか、タコメーターと同様の表示方法で時刻を表示すればよい。 本発明では腕時計、置き時計、懐中時計、ストップウォッチ等の各種時計に対して適用することができる。
In the above embodiment, a mechanical analog timepiece has been described. However, the present invention can also be applied to a digital timepiece. In this case, for example, the digital display corresponding to the dial may be digitally displayed so that the clock hands move linearly, or the time may be displayed by a display method similar to that of the tachometer. The present invention can be applied to various types of timepieces such as wristwatches, table clocks, pocket watches, and stopwatches.

本発明に係る時計は、工業的に量産する事が可能であるため、産業上の利用可能性を有する。 Since the timepiece according to the present invention can be industrially mass-produced, it has industrial applicability.
