  Walking has been recommended for resolving lack of exercise and obesity, and pedometers have been used as a tool for measuring the number of steps and displaying "Walking well" or "Insufficient exercise". By the way, if you walk 10,000 steps, you can get 300 kilocalories of energy.

  By the way, I want to walk, but I do not want to think that "I am walking to resolve lack of exercise and obesity", but there are many people who do not wear a pedometer that clearly understands that Currently. However, a general pedometer has a problem in that it stands out quite well. On the other hand, according to the technology described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 06-022323 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-139666, various functions are combined, and it is certainly convenient to carry them, but it is also conspicuous. Because it is equipped with a pedometer, there is a drawback that it is worrisome. In the above-described technology, there is a problem that a high-class feeling cannot be obtained due to the combination of various instruments. In the first place, the pedometer has no sense of quality.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide such a pedometer that is not known at all even if a pedometer is worn.

  The above-mentioned problem is achieved by using a camouflaged pedometer that is hidden from the body and is equipped with a watch or buckle on the front side of the pedometer attached to the band so that it can always be seen. Achieved. The pedometer is pointed towards the body and completely hidden, and no one else is aware that it is wearing a pedometer. Since there are accessories such as watches and buckles on the side seen by humans, it is only known that what is worn is this accessory. However, behind the scenes, the pedometer is fully functional and you can see the display of the pedometer while avoiding eye contact if necessary. In addition, in the design of accessories such as watches and buckles, it is possible to express a sense of quality by increasing the grade as much as possible.

  The band can be telescopic and torsional so that the pedometer can be viewed while being worn on the body. Pulling accessories such as watches and buckles away from the body will stretch the band, so you can see the pedometer hidden on the body side. Once the number of steps has been confirmed, it is easy to return to the original state.

  Moreover, the said pedometer integral with the said accessories can be provided with respect to the said band so that attachment or detachment is possible. When you want to check the number of steps, remove the pedometer from the band along with the accessories. And if you use it again, if you attach the pedometer to the band again, you can not see the pedometer facing the body at all, and others can only see accessories such as watches and buckles It is.

  Moreover, the said pedometer integral with the said ornament can be equipped with the rotating shaft, and this rotating shaft can be rotatably supported by the bearing provided in the said band. When confirming the number of steps, the number of steps can be confirmed by rotating a pedometer that has been on the body side so far and cannot be seen from the outside by rotating 180 degrees about the rotation axis. Once confirmed, it may be rotated 180 degrees to restore the original state. Since this series of operations can be performed very quickly, there is a feature that others do not notice it.

  Moreover, the said accessories and the said pedometer are good also as what is provided so that attachment or detachment is possible. Therefore, for example, it is possible to have a configuration in which a jewelry such as a watch or a buckle is fixedly provided on the band, and a pedometer can be attached to and detached from the jewelry, thereby being hidden behind the jewelry. A pedometer that is not visible from the outside can be removed from the accessory only when necessary, and once it has been used, it can be reattached to the back of the accessory.

  According to the pedometer of the present invention, the accessory such as a watch or a buckle is attached to the band so that the front side can be seen, and the pedometer is attached to the back side so that the pedometer is hidden toward the body side. By impersonating, it is possible to prevent other people from knowing the fact that they are wearing a pedometer. In addition, since it can only be seen as an ornament on the surface, it is possible to bring out a high-class feeling.

1st Embodiment The wristwatch camouflaged pedometer of this embodiment is represented in FIG.1 and FIG.2. FIG. 1 is a rear view showing the pedometer side (back side), and FIG. 2 is a front view showing the wristwatch side (front side).

  The wristwatch 1 of FIG. 2 is of a high-grade specification, and is provided with a crown 10 for hand winding, a bezel 12, a sapphire glass window 13, an hour hand 14, and buttons 16 for operations such as lap time measurement. Reference numeral 3 denotes a band. Behind it, it is surprising that such a thing is equipped here, but a pedometer 2 is provided. This pedometer 2 is configured such that the center of the back cover 11 on the back side of the wristwatch 1 is cut out so that the pointer 20 and the like can be seen. The button 15 is for operating the pedometer 2, but on the surface, it is pretending to be for operating the watch 1 like the button 16.

  Therefore, in normal wearing, the side of the pedometer 2 is in close contact with the arm, and it is not known at all that other people are wearing the pedometer 2. This makes it possible to wear it in formal places such as meetings and meetings, and since it is not necessary to change the watch as before, the number of steps taken and returned can be added to the number of steps measured daily. It is possible to determine the exact number of steps per day. In order to see the pedometer 2, the band 3 is loosened.

Second Embodiment Next, FIG. 3 shows a bracelet camouflaged pedometer. A pedometer 5 is provided on the back side of the bracelet 4 made of precious metal as an ornament so that the display surface faces the arm side. Moreover, this thing is worn on the arm by the expansion / contraction torsion band 6, but since it is the expansion / contraction torsion band 6, it is extremely easy to see the pedometer 5 against the bracelet 4. To hide the pedometer 5 again, the bracelet 4 can be returned to its original position. The bracelet 4 fits well to the arm by the light tightening force of the telescopic torsion band 6 and can hide the pedometer 5 well.
