Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a time display device for a wall clock.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional wall clock has a configuration in which an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand are used to indicate a number from 1 to 12 on a timepiece dial to discriminate time.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Here, although the lengths of the hour hand, minute hand and second hand are not uniform, the lengths of the hour hand and minute hand are particularly similar. Thus, especially children and the elderly may be confused and may not be able to make the right decisions. In addition, all numbers from 1 to 12 appear on the dial of the watch, and especially children and the elderly are confused and cannot read the correct time.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a time display device of a wall clock that solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The invention according to claim 1 has a main body, an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand attached to the main body, and a lid attached to the main body so as to cover the hour hand, the minute hand, and the second hand, and the hour hand and the minute hand. And the second hand has a color plate, and the color plate has a color that is in marked contrast with the color of the bottom of the main body. It has a transparent window, and each transparent window shows the representative number of hours, minutes, and seconds in the same color as the bottom color of the main unit. When the customer arrives at a simple window, the number of the transparent window clearly appears.

The invention according to claim 2 has a main body, an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand attached to the main body, and a lid attached to the main body so as to cover the hour hand, the minute hand, and the second hand. The hour hand, the minute hand and the second hand each have a color plate, which is a color that is in marked contrast with the color of the bottom of the main body, and the lid is slightly attached to the surrounding area corresponding to the color plate. It has an evenly transparent window, and when the color plates of the above hour hand, minute hand and second hand reach the transparent window, the current hour, minute and second are displayed at the scale position in the transparent window. Things.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, a time display device of a wall clock according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a time display device of a wall clock according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the time display device of the wall clock according to one embodiment of the present invention. In each drawing, the wall clock mainly has a main body 10, an hour hand 20, a minute hand 30, a second hand 40, and a lid 50.

The main body 10 has a receiving groove 11 formed therein, and a lid 50 is attached thereto. In the storage groove 11, a plurality of positioning holes 12 are dispersedly arranged at equal positions in the circumferential direction of the storage groove 11. A positioning claw portion 51 is formed on the lid 50 at a position corresponding to the positioning hole 12. The lid 50 is attached by locking the positioning claw 5 to the positioning hole 12.

A machine unit 13 is attached to the center of the main body 10, and an hour hand 20, a minute hand 30, and a second hand 40 are attached to the machine unit 13. The hour hand 20 is the longest, the minute hand 30 is the next longest, and the second hand 40 is the shortest. The hour hand 20 has a color plate 21, the minute hand 30 has a color plate 31, and the second hand 40 has a color plate 41. The colors of the color plates 21, 31, 41 are in marked contrast to the color of the bottom of the body 10. For example, the color plate 21 of the hour hand 20 is yellow, the color plate 31 of the minute hand 30 is red, and the color plate 41 of the second hand 40 is black. The outer surface of the main body 10 is blue, and the inner surface is silver.

In the cover 50, transparent windows 14, 15, 16 are formed at peripheral portions corresponding to the color plates 21, 31, 41. At the position corresponding to the color plate 21 of the hour hand 20, twelve windows 14 are formed. One window 14 represents one hour. At the position corresponding to the color plate 31 of the minute hand 30, twelve windows 15 are formed. One window 15 represents 5 minutes. At the position corresponding to the color plate 41 of the second hand 40, twelve windows 16 are formed. One window 16 represents 5 seconds. For each transparent window 14, the numbers 1, 2, 3,..., 11 and 12 of the time represented by the window are displayed. Further, for each of the transparent windows 15, numerals 5, 10,... 55, 0 representing the number represented by the window are displayed.

The color of the numeral is silver and is the same as the color of the inner surface of the main body 10. Therefore, before the color plate 21 of the hour hand 20 reaches the window 14, the number of each window 14 is hidden by the color of the inner surface of the main body 10 and does not appear. The number of each window 15 does not appear before the color plate 31 of the hand 30 reaches the window 15. When the color plate 21 of the hour hand 20 arrives at the window 14, the numbers displayed on the window 14 clearly appear against the yellow color of the color plate 21. When the color plate 31 of the minute hand 30 arrives at the window 15, the number displayed on the window 14 clearly appears against the red color of the color plate 31. Therefore, the user of the wall clock can read the clearly appearing numbers such as the color plates 21 and 31 against the background and read the current hour, minute, and second.

FIG. 3 shows a state at 9 o'clock. At the transparent window 14, the number 9 appears, and at the transparent window 15, the number 0 appears. The color plate 41 of the second hand 40 is located at the window 16 representing 10 seconds. FIG. 4 shows a time display device of a wall clock according to another embodiment of the present invention. The hours, minutes, and seconds are not printed on the transparent windows 14, 15, and 16 and are omitted. Instead of numbers, the scale positions at the transparent windows 14, 15, 16 reveal the current hours, minutes and seconds.

[0013] The time display device of the wall clock according to each of the above embodiments can provide a new visual experience, and can be deviated from the traditional method of indicating a number with the conventional hour hand, minute hand and second hand.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the invention, the hour hand, the minute hand and the second hand attached to the main body are provided with a color plate that contrasts significantly with the color of the bottom of the main body, and the lid is provided with a color plate corresponding to the color plate. In the surrounding area, there is an equally transparent window, and each transparent window displays the representative number of hours, minutes and seconds in the same color as the bottom color of the main unit, At the window where the color plate has not arrived, the numbers are invisible to the background color, and at the window where the color plate has arrived, the numbers are clearly visible against the background of the color plate and are therefore clear. The current hours, minutes, and seconds can be accurately read from the numbers that appear, and even children and elderly people can accurately read the current hours, minutes, and seconds.

[0015] The invention according to claim 2 has a configuration in which typical numbers of hours, minutes and seconds of the transparent window are omitted, and the present hours, minutes and seconds are revealed by the scale positions at the transparent window. , Children and the elderly can read the current hour, minute and second accurately.
