DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a character clock.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional character timepiece, when various decorations are attached to a timepiece frame, dedicated holes and shafts are individually formed as attachment portions.

[0003]

However, when various decorations are attached to the timepiece frame, forming individual holes and shafts as attachment portions individually has a problem in that the manufacturing cost increases accordingly. Was.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a character timepiece having a low manufacturing cost without a special hole or shaft for mounting a decoration on a timepiece frame imitating a character as a mounting portion. is there.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a character clock according to the present invention comprises a clock frame imitating a character and a decoration which can be attached to the clock frame by a user's selection. Has a detachable shaft protruding from a screw recess formed in the timepiece frame, and this shaft is held by a frictional force generated by pushing the shaft into the screw recess . The time meter frame Ri Ah provided with a sound generating means, in the state where the decoration is pushed into the recess of the screw, as sounding hole formed in decorative correspond to sounding hole is formed in a clockwise frame It is preferable to arrange them.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a front frame 1 and a rear frame 2 face each other to form a watch frame 3 imitating a character receiving a spherical ball with a left hand. . A time display unit is provided on the lower front surface of the front frame 1, and a dial 4 having an index formed of a time numeral is provided on the time display unit. The pointer shaft protruding from the center of the dial 4
A pointer 5 composed of an hour hand and a minute hand is fixed, and a front cover 6 composed of a transparent member is located in front of the pointer 5. A clock mechanism (not shown) is provided behind the pointer shaft, and the pointer shaft is rotationally driven by a normal mechanism,
The hands 5 indicate the time.

[0007] Reference numeral 7 denotes an alarm needle which is turned by an alarm knob 8 which is provided on the back of the rear frame 2 and also serves as a needle rotation, and is slidable vertically in the shape of a spherical ball. The alarm is turned on / off by the formed alarm set button 9. In order to rotate the hands, the alarm knob 8 may be pulled toward the rear side of the rear frame 2 and turned to move the hands 5.

[0008] A switch (not shown) having a heart cam is housed in the alarm set button 9, and the alarm set button 9 can be stopped at two upper and lower positions of an ON position and an OFF position. That is, when the alarm set button 9 is raised, the switch is turned on and sound can be emitted, and when the alarm set button 9 is lowered, the switch is turned off and sound cannot be emitted.

By sliding the changeover switch 10, one of "talking" and "wake-up" can be selected. If "Talking" is selected, in this example, "Ah!
I overslept! I was a genius! The alarm sound can be monitored repeatedly. If the alarm set button 9 is pushed to the off position during this notification,
For example, one utterance of "Slam Dunk !!" is made to stop the alarm sound.

[0010] On the other hand, if "Alarm" is selected, the above-described alarm sound is notified when the preset alarm set time has come, and when the alarm set button 9 is pressed, "Slam Dunk !!""Once to stop the alarm sound.

The volume changeover switch 11 adjusts the alarm volume by sliding the switch.

The front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are connected by screws 12 described later. Inside the front frame 1, seven bosses 1a are integrally protruded toward the rear frame 2, and also inside the rear frame 2 are opposed to the six bosses 1a of the front frame 1, respectively. The boss 2a is protruded. A central portion in the axial direction of the boss 1a of the front frame 1 is a screw hole 1b. The central portion in the axial direction of the boss portion 2a of the rear frame 2 is a two-step hole, and the small-diameter portion of the two-step hole is a guide hole 2b of a set screw 12 connecting the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2. . The head of the set screw 12 is provided at the step between the small-diameter portion and the large-diameter portion of the two-step hole, and the diameter of the large-diameter portion of the two-step hole gradually increases toward the rear side of the rear frame 2. ing. The large diameter portion of the two-step hole of the upper two boss portions 2a forms a screw recess 2c to be described later.

A speaker mounting boss 2d projects upwardly from the rear frame 2 toward the front frame.
To d, a speaker 14 as an example of a sound generator is attached via a screw 13. A control circuit (not shown) is connected to the speaker 14. The sound emitting portion of the speaker 14 faces the rear frame 2, and the rear frame 2 facing the sound emitting portion of the speaker 14 is provided with a plurality of vertically elongated slit-shaped sound output holes 2 e.

[0014] The wig 15 with the previous wig 16 after shown in phantom, which is freely attached and detached to the watch frame 3 by selecting the user's preferences as for example dressing changed doll clothing. According to this example, the back wig 15 and the front wig 1 are attached to the watch frame 3.
When the character 6 is not attached, the head of the character has a shaved head, and when the rear wig 15 and the front wig 16 are attached, the character has long hair. By making such a transformation, an unexpected appearance change can be obtained, and the same character can be enjoyed without getting bored.

As shown in FIG. 4, a front wig 16 is attached to the upper front surface of the watch frame 3 and a rear wig 15 as an example of a decoration is attached to the upper rear surface. On the front surface of the rear wig 15, two hollow shaft portions 15a are integrally protruded, and the tip portions of the two shaft portions 15a are formed in two screw recesses 2c on the upper portion of the rear frame 2. Removably positioned and fixed by press fitting. The rear wig 15 is the upper part of the rear frame 2
It is held by the rear frame 2 by the frictional force generated by pushing the concave portion 2c for each screw into the shaft portion 15a. The rear wig 15 has a plurality of vertically elongated slit-shaped sound output holes 15b.
Is formed. In a state where the shaft portion 15a of the rear wig 15 is pressed into the two screw recesses 2c of the rear frame 2, a plurality of speakers 14 formed in the rear frame 2 have sound output holes 15b formed in the rear wig 15. Are arranged so as to correspond to the vertical slit-shaped sound output holes 2e. That is, the recess 2
c means for connecting the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2, mounting means for the rear frame 2 and the rear wig 15, and positioning means for positioning the sound output hole 2 e of the rear frame 2 and the sound output hole 15 b of the rear wig 15. Also serves as.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a plurality of projections 15c are formed on the outer peripheral portion of the front surface of the rear wig 15 toward the front. As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of recesses 16a are formed at the rear to face the plurality of projections 15c of the rear wig 15, respectively. The front wig 16 has a plurality of protrusions 15c of the rear wig
6a is detachably connected by fitting.

In this embodiment, the rear wig is attached to the upper back of the rear frame as an example of a decoration. However, the decoration is not limited to this, and any decoration may be used. it can.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, specially it is necessary to form a mounting means for mounting the Ri decorations to the watch frame
Also, the sound emitted from the sounding means of the clock frame is not affected by the presence or absence of the decoration.
