Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] To obtain a wall clock in which the time at that time can be read straightforwardly in a normal sense, even when viewed from the front or a clock reflected in a mirror. SOLUTION: In one wall clock 1, two clocks, a normal clock A turning right and a non-normal clock B turning clock hands to the left, are arranged side by side on one dial 2 and reversely rotated. The clock B on the side that displays the clock arranges the time character array counterclockwise with the 12 o'clock as the vertex, and displays the time character to be used, for example, 3b, which can be read correctly when mirrored on a mirror.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a wall clock.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the past, single wall clocks that looked right when mirrored were long known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The wall clock described in the prior art, which looks correct when reflected in a mirror, is convenient when viewed through a mirror.However, when viewed in a normal state without a mirror, the hour and minute hands are separated. Since the angle to make is different from that of a normal watch except at exactly 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, there is a high risk of mistaking the time from the viewpoint of familiarity with peacetime. Since the reverse characters are reversed, it has a problem that it is hard to read intuitively and the time cannot be determined quickly.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a single wall clock, which can be viewed from the front or through a mirror. Another object of the present invention is to provide a practical and humorous wall clock in which the time can be easily read.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the two-sided clock according to the present invention is a clock based on a general concept in which at least one clock hand rotates clockwise on one dial on one wall clock. A clock hand has an unusual clock that rotates counterclockwise, and the time character array of the clock that rotates counterclockwise is arranged counterclockwise with the top at 12 o'clock. It is displayed in reverse letters so that it will be normal when viewed in a mirror.

It is preferable that the characters on the dials of the two clocks, which are opposite to each other, have different colors.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a wall clock 1 is composed of a clock A having a normal time character and a clock B having time characters of back characters 1 to 12, for example, 3b, on one dial 2. It is composed of two watches. The hand of the clock B on the side where the back character is the time character can be rotated to the left. Therefore, the time characters are also arranged in the order of 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and 3 o'clock with the 12 o'clock as the vertex toward the left.

[0008] The two watches A and B are driven by a battery and are produced by modifying a commercially available timepiece having an hour hand, a minute hand and a second hand. In particular, the timepiece B requires the hands to be rotated in the reverse direction. For this reason, of the clock motors inside the clock, the rotor is left as it is, and the field motor core is mounted upside down so that the clock motor is rotated in reverse.

Further, a digital thermometer 4 is attached to the dial of the wall clock.

In addition, a calendar clock 5 representing month, day and day of the week can be incorporated in the margin of the dial of the wall clock.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

Since it has two clocks, it can be installed on a wall opposite to the mirror, such as a dressing room in a large bath such as a barber shop or an inn with a large mirror, or a home washroom. If you look at the clock on the opposite side that is reflected in the mirror, you can easily read the time at that time as usual.

Further, by changing the color of the time character of the clockwise clock and the color of the time character of the clockwise counterclockwise, it is easier to determine which is a normal clock.

By attaching a digital thermometer or the like to the margin of the dial, it is possible to check the temperature other than the time.

Further, if a calendar clock or the like is attached to the margin of the dial, it becomes convenient to check the living environment such as month, day and day of the week in addition to time and temperature.

Claims (1)

[Utility model registration claims] In a wall clock (1), a clock (A) according to a general concept in which at least a clock hand rotates clockwise on one dial (2), and a clock hand is a left hand It has two types of clocks, an unusual clock (B) that rotates around,
The time character array of the clock (B) that rotates counterclockwise is arranged counterclockwise with 12 o'clock as the vertex, and at the same time, the time character (eg, 3b) is normal when viewed in a mirror. This is a two-sided clock that is displayed in reverse letters so that it becomes a perfect character.
