DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a rotating display plate having a marking 1a on the front surface, and a large specific gravity of tungsten, gold, etc. A weight 1b made of a metal or a metal compound is fixed by bonding, welding, welding or the like. A fixed portion of the rotary display panel 1 is a pipe 3 in which a fixed shaft 2 made of stainless steel, brass, nickel silver, or the like is permanently inserted into a hole of a support member 3 made of metal or synthetic resin by gluing, caulking, or the like.
a of the rotary display plate 1 and is fixed by being pressed with a center hole and a tightening margin. The rotating display plate 1 itself is made of a thin metal plate having a thickness of 0.05 to 0.2 mm, but a plastics plate can be used as long as the thickness can be tolerated. Reference numeral 4 denotes a back glass fixed to the back cover 5 in a water-tight manner by bonding, and the display window 4a is constituted by an opening of a coating of an opaque film formed by inner surface printing, vapor deposition or the like.
In this embodiment, a dial 9 on which a timepiece machine body is mounted is held in contact with an inner wall step portion of a case body 8, and the other is held on the lower surface of a support member by a back cover 5, and an axial direction by a back cover set screw 6. It is firmly screwed and fixed.

In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the display example of the marking is such that the rotary display plate is composed of four rotating plates, such as one inclinometer scale and three roulette scales. If one of the roulettes is used and the center axis of the rotating display plate is aligned with the center axis of the clock, it can be composed of a large rotating display plate. it can.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the analog timepiece is displayed as a hand-held analog timepiece. However, a digital timepiece may be used without any limitation, and any type of watch mechanical body can be used.

In another embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4,
The support member 13 was formed in a flat plate shape, and was fixed to the step portion of the back cover 15 by caulking, bonding, or the like, so that the support member 13, the rotary display plate 11, and the back cover 15 formed a unit. In this configuration, the ball 20 is used for a fixed portion at the center of the rotary display plate 11, and the rotation of the rotary display plate 11 is improved so as to be smooth. To assemble the fixing portion, a stepped pipe 13a, which is a housing for enclosing the ball 20, is attached to the supporting member 13a.
After being glued to the support member 13 by being driven from below, or by caulking the two, the plurality of balls 2
0 in the stepped pipe 13a,
1 and the fixed shaft 12 may be engaged. In this way,
In a state where the rotary display plate 11 and the support member 13 are integrated, the support member 13 is engaged with the step portion of the back cover 15 and is caulked, thereby completing a mechanical mechanism as one unit. In the configuration of FIG. 3, the middle frame 1
A timepiece mechanical body (not shown) is provided inside 9. In this configuration, since the mechanism is unitized, it is possible to select a mechanism having another function by replacing the back cover, that is, replacing the mechanism.

In FIGS. 1 and 3, although the back cover made of metal and the back glass made of inorganic glass are separate bodies, the back glass and the back cover may be integrated with inorganic glass or organic glass. In this case, the inner surface of the glass is coated with an opaque film up to the outermost peripheral portion, including the rising portion.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the display example of the marking is provided by three slot machine configuration windows. Since the three rotary display plates are not of a drum type but are formed on a flat plate, it is impossible to align the windows in a straight line. Although difficult, it can be implemented in various patterns at positions other than FIG. The structure of the rotary display board is not three, but if it is two simple slot machines, a straight window can be formed. If it is four or more, the number of combinations increases, and a complicated slot machine becomes possible. When there are a large number of rotary display plates, it is possible to provide a complex mechanism that combines the embodiments of FIGS.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is an embodiment of a rotary display plate. However, the display plate is not a 360-degree rotating display plate, but a projection is formed on a part of a support member to partially rotate the display plate. A swinging display plate may be used, or a groove or a maze may be formed in the support member to form a moving object such as a ball.

In the case of a swing display plate, not only a simple stopper is formed in a part of the support member but also the stopper itself is formed by a plate spring, so that the movement of the swing display plate can be varied.

When a moving object is formed, not only a simple movement of the ball due to gravity, but also a method of providing an elastic member such as a leaf spring on the support member or fixing the support member to the back cover, is performed by sealing with an adhesive or rubber. Sealing with a gasket interposed between the support member and the back glass seals the liquid containing air bubbles, the air bubbles become a moving object, and the function as a level is added, and objects such as colored liquid and sand are added. As a result, the moving additional elements can be enjoyed.

When a holding shaft for a sharp magnetic needle is fixed to the support member and the magnetized magnetic needle is attached to the back glass, the function as a compass can be added. Also in this compass configuration, if oil is sealed between the supporting member and the back glass, a high-grade compass with improved pressure resistance and improved quality as a magnet is also possible.

The above configuration is advantageous not only for a wrist watch but also for a large timepiece such as a watch clock.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained by the above-described structure. Various mechanical devices can be added only by the exterior without the need for a new watch barrel, hour wheel, fourth wheel, etc., so that there is a great cost advantage even in the case of a small variety of small-size mechanical watches. If a mechanism is provided in the time display unit, the shock resistance such as drop impact deteriorates, and there are many problems of the clock stopping due to interference with the clock or dial, but this configuration makes it independent of the time display unit. , The reliability as a watch increased. When a mechanism is provided in the time display section, the legibility of the watch becomes worse due to the relationship between the hands, date indicator and day indicator, and restrictions on the calendar display function have been created. The legibility of was improved. The versatility of the clock is increased by the double-sided display of the clock and the mechanism, and various additional displays are possible, and the practical effect is great.
