It is equipped.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a timepiece in which a pendulum or the like emits blinking light in response to the surroundings becoming dark.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there are known alarm clocks that emit sound or emit light.However, in these types of alarm clocks, the method of emitting sound, the method of emitting light, and the exterior are devised. Originality and novelty are intended to be exhibited, but not necessarily sufficiently pronounced originality and novelty, and none of them is enough to dispel the rut. there were.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a new timepiece that has been devised so as to express remarkable originality and novelty and that eliminates rut.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the timepiece according to the present invention has a light emitting module that starts emitting light via an optical sensor that senses that the surroundings have become dark when the surroundings become dark, so that the timepiece can be viewed from the outside. A light-emitting module that is installed in the main unit or has a light-emitting module that starts blinking light emission via an optical sensor that senses the darkening when the surroundings are darkened, and is provided as a state that can be viewed from the outside. Or, a light emitting module that is mounted on the pendulum body, or that starts flashing light emission via an optical sensor that senses that the surroundings have become darker, and that moves using the pendulum device as a drive source. The body is equipped with a flashing light emitting part that can be viewed from the outside.

In the embodiment shown in the figures, a rear open-type outer case 3 having a lenticular glass-like front portion 1 and a frame portion 2 provided around the front portion 1 using a transparent hard plastic material is formed. An inner case 4, which is made of an opaque hard plastic material and is shallower than the outer case 3, is inserted into the outer case 3 from the rear, and is engaged with a step 5 previously provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the outer case 3. A waterproof type is formed by forming a space 7 between the front walls 6 and 1 of the inner and outer cases 4 and 3 and fitting a back cover 9 made of an opaque plastic material with a packing 8 to a rear opening of the outer case 3. Of the exterior body 10.

Further, separately from this, a time scale 12, a time display character 13, and a pattern are provided at a position slightly above the center of the surface of a paper piece 11 having the same shape and the same size as the front wall 6 of the inner case 4. The dial 14 is printed to form a dial 15, and this dial 15 is attached to the outer surface of the front wall 6 of the inner case 4 and the time display character 13 group is formed on the dial 15 and the front wall 6. A shaft through hole 16 is provided at a position located at the center.

A battery timepiece movement 18 having a pendulum device 17 is separately provided, and the movement 18 is fixed in the inner case 6, and a needle drive shaft group 19 is inserted into a distal end shaft through hole. From the space 16, the hour hand 20, the minute hand 21 and the second hand 22 are attached to the end of the space 7. The details of the configuration of the battery timepiece movement 18, the configuration of the pendulum device 17 and the mounting of the hands 20, 21 and 22 are described in detail below. The battery timepiece movement 18 and the pendulum device 17 are composed of a battery 27 and a magnet 28. Since it is the same as a moving general-purpose one, its description is omitted.

Further, a slit 24 is formed between the front wall 6 of the inner case 4 and the dial 15 on a circular arc line corresponding to the trajectory of the swinging end of the pendulum device 17, and a slit 24 communicating with the inside and outside is formed. An arm member 25 is fixed to the end, and the tip of the arm member 25 protrudes through the slit 24 and does not contact the cutting edge of the slit 24 to the front side of the dial 15. A pendulum main body 26 configured as a shape and color that moves in harmony with the main body is attached, and the pendulum main body 26 blinks and emits light through an optical sensor 30 that senses that the surroundings have become dark when the surroundings have become dark. Are sequentially equipped with a light emitting module 32 having three light emitting diodes 31 in a state where a blinking light emitting unit can be viewed from the outside. Reference numeral 33 in the figure denotes an on / off switch for turning off the light emitting module 32 when the user does not want to flash the light, or turning it on when the user wants to enable the flashing light. Shown.

The present invention is implemented by mounting the light-emitting module 32 at a place other than the pendulum main body, for example, at a place that can be seen from the outside such as a dial, an outer case or a decorative body that is driven by the pendulum device as a driving source. It is to be understood that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and that the present invention extends to such modified watches.

[0010]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the timepiece according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, when the place where the timepiece is placed is darkened, the light sensor senses the darkness and makes the light emitting module blink and emit light. It is possible to express remarkable originality and novelty by the occurrence, and furthermore, the timepiece according to claim 2 or the timepiece according to claim 3 is used for a moving pendulum body or a moving decorative body. Equipped with a light-emitting module with a flashing light-emitting part, it has a movement and can express even more remarkable originality and novelty, completely fulfilling the intended purpose of eliminating the rut. This has a significant effect.
