Description

  The present invention relates to a timer that has a magnet in part and can be magnetically attached in place.

The applicant of the present application has applied for a home-use timer device as described in Patent Document 1.
At present, commercially available timer devices display time, minutes, and seconds when counted, and a wide variety of exterior designs are on the market. Among them, there is a structure in which a magnet is provided on the back side so that the timer device can be attracted by magnetic force and held in place.
Utility Model Registration No. 3081072

  It can be said that the conventional timer device is functionally provided only with a function for displaying time, minutes and seconds.

  Therefore, the applicant of the present application decided to consider providing a more convenient function as a home timer device that attracts the customer's attention as compared to the current timer device.

  An object of the present invention is to realize a timer in which a magnet-attached and attracting function is more effectively used in a timer having a magnet and other functions not provided in the current timer are provided.

  In view of the above problems, the timer of the present invention includes a timer main body having a timekeeping display unit that receives counting data from a built-in timer circuit and displays the count data on the exterior surface side, and a magnet for attracting on the back surface, and a magnet having an exterior surface. And a holding line for connecting the timer body and the magnet body.

  In addition, a plurality of the magnet bodies and a plurality of the holding lines that connect the magnet bodies and the timer body are provided.

  Further, the magnet body has a clip structure.

  Further, the holding wire is formed of metal, plastic or cloth.

  Further, the holding wire is formed of a magnet material.

  Further, the holding wire is provided with a clip.

  According to the present invention, a magnet body having a separate exterior surface from the timer body having the same magnet for attracting as the conventional one is provided and held between the timer body and the magnet body magnetically attracted in place. By arranging the wire, for example, it is possible to easily and easily hook or hold a lightweight object such as a rubber band or small memo paper on the holding wire.

  In addition, it is possible to hold relatively heavy objects that cannot be held by a single magnet by using a timer body and a magnet body provided with an attracting magnet. Various uses such as holding memo paper next to each other are possible.

  Furthermore, since the timer body and the magnet body are connected by the holding wire, the occurrence of problems such as loss of the magnet body is eliminated.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a timer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a rear view of the timer of FIG.

  1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a timer body, which receives count data from a built-in timer circuit (not shown) and digitally displays it on the exterior surface side, such as a liquid crystal display or LED display. Unit 2, operation button 3 for the user to set various modes for timing, etc., adsorption magnet 4 fixed to the back surface, and battery storage unit 5, and various designs are applied as the exterior surface The

  Reference numeral 6 denotes a magnet body, which, like the timer main body 1, has an attracting magnet 7 on the back surface and has an exterior surface to which various designs are applied.

  Reference numeral 8 denotes a holding wire made of a metal chain, a wire, or the like that connects the timer body 1 and the magnet body 6.

  In the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, for example, if the timer main body 1 and the magnet body 6 are separated from each other and both the magnets 4 and 7 are attached to a refrigerator or the like by magnetic force, the rubber band or the like is attached to the holding wire 8. It is possible to wind or to hold a small note on which a recipe or the like is written by providing a clip on the holding line 8.

  If the timer main body 1 and the magnet body 6 are brought close to each other, a relatively large and heavy note paper that cannot be held alone can be held by the added magnetic force of the attracting magnets 4 and 7. Furthermore, the timer body 1 and the magnet body 6 can each hold, for example, memo paper with related memo contents.

  As described above, this timer is a unique form comprising the timer body 1 and the magnet body 6 and the holding wire 8 connecting them, and is excellent as a convenient home timer.

  Even if the magnet body 6 is attached to the timer body 1, the magnet body 6 can be prevented from being lost because both are connected by the holding wire 8.

  The timer main body 1, the magnet body 6, and the holding wire 8 may be configured to connect a plurality of them instead of one each as shown in the figure.

  Further, if a clip structure capable of sandwiching an object is provided on the magnet body 6 or a clip is provided on the holding wire 8, the convenience is further increased.

  The holding wire 8 can be made of plastic or cloth in addition to metal. Further, it is conceivable that the holding wire 8 itself is a magnet.

  The present invention is capable of developing various designs and is effective as a timer that can handle various usages in offices and homes, and is particularly effective as a kitchen timer for home use. It is.

It is a front view of a timer which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is a rear view of the timer which is this Embodiment.
