Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to a watch in which a sheet-like member freely drawn by a watch purchaser is attached to a dial material.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in this type of timepiece, the dial, which is a part of the timepiece, is sent to the watch purchaser, who freely draws it on the dial and sends it back again. Was sent to the person and obtained.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the timepiece with the above configuration, it is necessary to distribute not only the buyer and seller but also to the manufacturer because it has a special structure for assembling the dial when obtaining it. The acquisition process became complicated, and the acquisition took a long time.

An object of the present invention is to provide a timepiece having a dial that can be obtained in a short time and has a dial that can be freely drawn by a purchaser, by reducing the complicated process described above.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the timepiece of the present invention is composed of a dial attached to a dial material with a sheet member on which pictures, photographs, characters, etc. are drawn, and the sheet member can be freely drawn. A frame indicating the range, pictures, photographs, characters, etc., which have been printed in advance, and purchase application items, etc. are cut and pasted from a sheet described in a predetermined position.

Further, the sheet-shaped member has holes and marks for positioning, and an adhesive is previously applied to the back side of the sheet-shaped member. Further, in the portable timepiece of the present invention, the thickness of the dial material is 0.25 mm or less.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the timepiece of the present invention. The dial 2 is attached to the module 1 of the watch. The center of the dial 2 is provided with a central hole 4 through which a coaxial rotary shaft 3 for attaching an hour hand, a minute hand and the like is inserted. The dial 2 has a structure in which a sheet-like member 6 is attached to a dial plate material 5 by bonding or the like. After the dial 2 is attached in this manner, the hour hand 7 and the like are attached to the rotating shaft 3 and the whole module is housed in the case 8.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a state before processing the sheet member 6. The sheet-shaped member 6 is a part of the paper 10 and has a frame 11 corresponding to the shape of the dial 2. In the frame 11, there are provided a hole 12 or a mark indicating the position of the hole and a mark 13 indicating the upper and lower positions of the sheet-shaped member 6. In the other part of the sheet 10, items 14 to be filled out by the purchaser of the watch are described, and a picture 15 having the same size as the frame 11 is printed in advance.

Next, a description will be given of a process until the purchaser of the watch obtains the watch. The purchaser obtains the paper 10 at the store or the like, draws it freely in the frame 11, puts a sticker with a face photo on it, finishes it into the original work of the purchaser, and fills out 14 Fill out the required information. The purchaser can also select a pre-printed picture 15. When the sheet 10 filled in in this manner is sent to the manufacturer, the manufacturer cuts out the sheet member 6 from the sheet 10, and marks 13 on the sheet member 6 and positioning marks such as notches provided on the dial plate material 5. Then, they are glued to each other at a predetermined position on the basis of the above, and the dial 2 is formed. Then, the watch is finished as shown in FIG. 1 and sent back to the purchaser. Through the above steps, the purchaser can obtain his own original watch.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the case of drawing using the paper 10 has been described. However, the picture drawn on the screen of the microcomputer is sent to the manufacturer via the Internet, and the manufacturer converts the picture into a dial. Is also possible.

Considering that this type of watch is made according to the personal preference of the purchaser, it is considered that the watch is frequently used for personal portable use. For portable use, a small and thin watch like a wristwatch is convenient. In the timepiece of the present invention, since the sheet-like member is further attached on the dial material, the thickness of the entire dial is increased and the interval between the dial and the hands is reduced. Therefore, there is a limit to the thickness of the dial material, and the limit is desirably 0.25 mm or less for a portable timepiece.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. Because it has a dial with a sheet-like member on which a picture, a photograph, letters, etc. are drawn, attached to the dial material, you can get your own original watch. The sheet-shaped member can be cut out and pasted from a frame that indicates the freely drawable area, pre-printed pictures, photographs, characters, etc., and the purchase application items etc. in the predetermined position. Since it is possible, the process up to the acquisition of the purchaser is simplified, and the acquisition is possible in a short time.

Further, since the sheet-shaped member has holes and marks for positioning, the mounting can be performed accurately in both the position and the direction. Further, since the adhesive is previously applied to the back side of the sheet-shaped member, It is easy to attach to the dial material by heating. In a portable timepiece, since the thickness of the dial material is 0.25 mm or less, the hands do not come into contact with the sheet-like member, and do not adversely affect the operation of the hands.
