In the above-mentioned conventional locking structure in which a hook is inserted into a hanging hole, the hook is hidden behind the timepiece when the timepiece is hooked. Even if it was hung in a bad state, it could not be confirmed, and it sometimes fell. In addition, in this hooking structure, the hook can be hooked only to a hook having a size suitable for the hook hole, and can be hooked to a large hook provided at a retail store. In some cases it was not possible.

Further, in a structure in which a guide recess is provided and a hanging tool is hooked into a hanging hole from the side, when the hanging tool is hooked on a hanging tool implanted on a pillar, the hanging state is checked from the side. Although it is possible to do so, it is sometimes impossible to check the hooking state from the side of the watch when hooking it on a hook fixed to a wall. In addition, even with this hanging structure, there were cases where it was not possible to hook the large hanging tool.

Further, in a latching structure in which a latching plate and a latch are provided and used properly, the latch is pulled out above the timepiece and latched to check the latching state or to use a large latch. Although it is possible to hang it, there is a problem that the appearance is deteriorated because the buckle is visible from the front of the clock. In addition, when a latch plate is used in this latch structure, there arises a problem that it becomes impossible to confirm the latch state and to latch on a large-sized hook, as in the above-described conventional example.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hanging structure of a wall clock which can be hung while checking the hung state without damaging the appearance. It is in.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a clock body, and a back surface 2a is provided with a groove 4 formed from the outer periphery of the clock body 2 toward the center. The groove 4 in the present embodiment is open in the rear direction and the plane direction, and the opening in the rear direction is provided with holding portions 6 and 7 whose edges partially protrude so as to cover the opening. ing. Also,
An engagement portion 8 is provided in the groove 4. The engaging portion 8 is formed of a plate-like piece having one end integrally formed on or fixed to the bottom surface 4 a of the groove portion 4 and having a fixed elasticity. A protruding engagement projection 8a is provided. The engaging projection 8a is capable of engaging with an engaging hole of a latch described later, and has an inclined surface 8b formed on its upper surface and a horizontal engaging surface 8c formed on its lower surface, and has a triangular cross section. It is what makes.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an elongated plate-shaped hook, and
And is guided by the groove 4 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction in the figure. At one end on the outer peripheral side of the clock body 2 of the hook 10, that is, at an upper end 10 a in the figure, a hook hole 12 for hooking with a hook 14 such as a screw or a hook is implanted in a wall or the like. Is provided. Also,
The other end of the hook 10, that is, the lower end 10 b in the figure, is provided with first and second engagement holes 16 and 18 arranged in the sliding direction. The first and second engagement holes 16 and 18 are both arranged at positions where they can be engaged with the engagement projections 8a of the engagement portion 8 and are formed in a shape that can be engaged.
