Description

  The present invention relates to a wristwatch with an emergency alarm, and in particular, a clock unit having a display panel for displaying time, an alarm unit for generating an emergency alarm sound in an emergency, and a clock unit and an alarm unit are attached to a human arm. And a wristwatch with an emergency alarm comprising a belt portion for the purpose.

  In recent years, elementary school students and junior high school students often go to cram schools and lessons after leaving school, and the time to go home is increasing, and in fact, there are many children who go home alone on the dark night road. On the other hand, it is also true that many crimes such as kidnapping, molesting and thieves are occurring not only at night but also during the day. In such a situation, it can be said that it is natural that not only elementary and junior high school students, but also young women walking alone or walking alone after they get old feel uneasy. In addition, the number of elderly people living alone is increasing, and the number of cases requiring assistance is increasing due to injuries caused by falls or the like while at home, or illness accompanied by sudden physical changes.

  A crime prevention buzzer is used as a means of notifying people of an emergency when a crime or disaster occurs, or when a person suddenly falls down due to illness or injury. The majority of security buzzers used are carried by attaching them to school bags, bags, etc., hanging them on their necks, putting them in clothes pockets, bags, etc. As such a crime prevention buzzer, for example, a technology of a portable crime prevention buzzer provided with a pull-out switch and a push button switch as a switch for generating an alarm sound (alarm tone) is disclosed (see Patent Document 1). However, since the number of security buzzers will increase in addition to those normally carried, it is easy to forget to carry it when the bag or clothes are changed. Also, it is often inconvenient to carry around, so it tends to be avoided. Furthermore, if it is in a pocket or the like, there is a possibility that when a sudden situation occurs, a panic situation occurs and the operation cannot be performed in time.

  A watch-type crime prevention buzzer technology is known as a device that can be operated immediately when a sudden situation occurs and can be easily carried. For example, a wristwatch-integrated crime prevention buzzer technique in which a wristwatch is provided with a crime prevention buzzer function and its switch is a push button type is disclosed (see Patent Document 2). In addition, a technology of a portable crime prevention tool that can generate an alarm sound by pushing and turning a switch and has a clock function has been disclosed (see Patent Document 3).

  However, in the technique of Patent Document 2, an alarm sound is not generated unless a push button type switch is kept pressed for a certain period of time. is there. In addition, although the technique of Patent Document 3 describes that the switch can be pushed and turned even if one hand is bound by a criminal, for example, the operation of turning the switch while pushing it takes time and informs the surroundings as a result. There is a risk that it will not be possible. Therefore, not only for those who are worried about walking alone at night, but for women and elderly people living alone, such as when they were actually involved in a disaster or crime, or when they suddenly fell down due to illness or injury. It is important to generate an alarm sound immediately in the event of a sudden disaster or danger and quickly inform nearby people that an emergency has occurred and that personal danger is imminent. In addition, if it can be easily worn and always carried, it can be expected to be useful immediately in the event of an emergency without causing inconvenience in daily life.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a wristwatch with an emergency alarm that can be worn and carried in view of the above-mentioned case and can immediately notify a person nearby in an emergency situation.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a timepiece having a display panel for displaying time, and is laminated on a surface opposite to the display panel of the timepiece part via a partition member, so that an emergency alarm is generated in an emergency. An alarm unit for generating a sound and a belt unit for attaching the clock unit and the alarm unit to a human arm, and the alarm unit can be pulled out of a switch member for generating an emergency alarm sound on the side surface The switch member has a protruding portion that protrudes from the side surface.

  In the present invention, the watch portion and the alarm portion of the wristwatch with an emergency alarm are carried on the human arm, for example, the wrist, by the belt portion. Thereby, the time displayed on the display board of the timepiece unit can be visually recognized in a timely manner. When a disaster or a crime is encountered, even when at home, as well as when at home, when an emergency situation occurs due to illness or injury, a loud emergency alarm sound is generated by pulling out the switch member of the alarm section. At this time, it can be easily pulled out by pinching the protruding portion of the switch member with a fingertip. As a result, it is possible to notify a third party in the vicinity that an emergency such as a crime or illness has occurred, and it is expected that the emergency can be converged before it becomes important.

  In this case, a crown for adjusting the time is arranged on the side surface of the clock unit, and the switch member of the alarm unit is arranged in a point-symmetrical position with respect to the center of the display panel of the clock unit. It may be. At this time, in the switch member of the alarm unit, the length of the protruding portion in the direction intersecting with the straight line passing through the center of the display panel of the timepiece unit and connecting the switch member and the crown may be larger than the length of the crown. The switch member of the alarm part may have a flange on the outer edge of the end of the protruding part. You may make it a partition material be flat form. A flat impact absorbing material may be further laminated between the partition material and the timepiece portion. The partition member may be a flat shock absorber.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily wear a wristwatch with an emergency alarm and carry it, and to obtain an effect that it is possible to immediately notify a person nearby in the event of an emergency.

The side surface of a wristwatch with an emergency alarm is shown schematically, (A) is a left side view, and (B) is a right side view. It is a bottom view which shows typically a wristwatch with an emergency alarm.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a wristwatch with an emergency alarm to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a wristwatch 60 with an emergency alarm according to the present embodiment includes a clock unit 10, an alarm unit 20 that generates a loud emergency alarm sound in an emergency, and the clock unit 10 and the alarm unit 20 as human arm. A belt portion 30 for attaching to the belt. This wristwatch 60 with an emergency alarm is for right-handed use and is usually worn on the left arm. In this example, a mechanical timepiece unit 10 that indicates time by rotating a pointer is shown. The clock unit 10 has a circular display panel 16 for displaying time. On the display board 16, numbers 1 to 12 indicating the time are displayed along the periphery. The timepiece unit 10 has a rotation shaft at the center of the display board 16, and a pointer indicating time, in this example, an hour hand (short hand) and a minute hand (long hand) are fixed to the rotation shaft. On the side surface of the timepiece unit 10, the belt unit 30 is attached to the upper side and the lower side when the wristwatch 60 with an emergency alarm is viewed in the normal position, that is, two places at the 12 o'clock side and the 6 o'clock side of the display panel 16. A belt attachment portion 14 is provided. The belt attaching portion 14 protrudes in a U shape from the side surface of the timepiece portion 10. A gap is formed between the side surface of the timepiece portion 10 and the belt attachment portion 14 in order to attach the belt portion 30. Two belt portions 30 are respectively attached to the two belt attaching portions 14. Each of the two belt portions 30 is configured such that one end portion is attached to the belt attaching portion 14 and can be attached to the arm by locking the other end portions. Yes. Although the material of the belt part 30 will not be restrict | limited especially if it has flexibility in order to wind around an arm and to mount | wear, For example, a metal, leather, etc. can be mentioned. Further, on the side surface of the clock unit 10, a crown 13 for adjusting the time is arranged on the back side of the hand when the emergency alarm wristwatch 60 is worn on the arm, that is, on the 3 o'clock side of the display panel 16. The crown 13 is configured so that it can be pulled but cannot be pulled out. In the case of left-handed use, the crown 13 is usually placed on the 9 o'clock side because it is worn on the right arm.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, in the timepiece unit 10, the surface side of the display panel 16 is covered with a timepiece cover 12. The timepiece unit 10 has a main body case configured so that a surface opposite to the display panel 16 is a bottom surface and a bottom surface and a side surface are formed. The main body case accommodates a mechanical portion that drives the pointer by the rotation of the rotating shaft, that is, a movement. The material of the main body case is not particularly limited, and may be a metal or resin, for example. The watch cover 12 is attached to the main body case so that it can be removed when the watch portion 10 is repaired. The watch cover 12 is formed of a transparent material such as glass or resin so that the display panel 16 can be seen.

  On the bottom surface side of the timepiece unit 10, the alarm unit 20 is stacked via a partition member 40. The partition member 40 is formed in the same circular flat plate shape as the timepiece unit 10. The partition member 40 is laminated in order to clearly distinguish the clock unit 10 and the alarm unit 20. The material of the partition member 40 is not particularly limited, and may be a metal, a resin such as hard plastic, an elastic body such as rubber or elastomer, and the like. The alarm unit 20 has an exterior case configured to form a bottom surface and a side surface with the surface on the partition member 40 side as a bottom surface. This exterior case contains an alarm device that generates an emergency alarm sound. The alarm equipment includes, for example, a circuit board on which a circuit for outputting a signal for generating an emergency alarm sound is arranged, a battery as a power source, and a speaker that generates an emergency alarm sound by a signal from the circuit board. ing. The exterior case of the alarm unit 20 is covered with an alarm cover 22 on the surface side, that is, the surface side opposite to the partition member 40. The alarm cover 22 is attached to the exterior case so that it can be removed when the alarm unit 20 is repaired. The material of the outer case of the alarm unit 20 and the alarm cover 22 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include metals and resins. In other words, as shown in FIG. 3, in the emergency alarm wristwatch 60, the alarm cover 22 of the alarm unit 20 is positioned on the back surface (bottom surface) side of the timepiece unit 10, that is, the side that contacts the arm when worn on the arm. doing.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a switch member 23 for operating the alarm device is arranged on the side surface of the alarm unit 20. The switch member 23 is detachably inserted so as to be a switch for operating the alarm device housed in the exterior case. The switch member 23 has a protruding portion 23 b that protrudes from the side surface of the alarm portion 20. The protrusion 23b is formed in a flat plate shape, and the length Ls in the direction intersecting with the straight line passing through the center of the display panel 16 and connecting the switch member 23 and the crown 13 is longer than the length Lr of the crown 13 (larger). ) Is formed. The protrusion 23b has a flange 23a on the outer edge of the protrusion end. The switch member 23 is disposed so as to be point-symmetric with the crown 13 with respect to the center of the display panel 16 of the timepiece unit 10. That is, the switch member 23 is located on the elbow side when the emergency alarm wristwatch 60 is worn on the arm, that is, on the display board 16 at 9 o'clock. In the case of left-handed use, the switch member 23 is disposed on the 3 o'clock side.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, an impact absorbing material 50 is laminated between the timepiece unit 10 and the partition member 40. The shock absorber 50 is formed in the same circular flat plate shape as the timepiece unit 10. The shock absorber 50 is laminated in order to mitigate the impact of the vibration generated by the emergency alarm sound on the clock unit 10 when a large volume emergency alarm sound is generated by the operation of the alarm unit 20. The material of the shock absorbing material 50 is not particularly limited as long as it can absorb the shock, and examples thereof include resins such as polycarbonate, and materials such as rubber and elastomer having elasticity and cushioning properties. it can.

  The timepiece unit 10, the shock absorbing material 50, the partition member 40, and the alarm unit 20 described above can be bonded and stacked using, for example, a double-sided tape or an adhesive material. At this time, the bottom surface of the timepiece unit 10 and one surface of the shock absorber 50 are joined, the other surface of the shock absorber 50 and one surface of the partition member 40 are joined, and the other surface of the partition member 40 and the bottom surface of the alarm unit 20. And are joined. Moreover, it is also possible to comprise so that the whole may be covered with one exterior material. In this case, it is needless to say that the timepiece cover 12 and the alarm cover 22 are configured to be removable and the crown 13 and the switch member 23 can be operated.

  The user wears the wristwatch 60 with an emergency alarm around the arm, usually the wrist (wrist), by the belt portion 30. By looking at the display panel 16 of the clock unit 10, the time can be known. When the time of the timepiece unit 10 is set, the driving of the hands by the movement is stopped by pulling the crown 13 as in a general wristwatch. After adjusting the time by turning the crown 13 and moving the pointer, driving the pointer by the movement is resumed by pushing the crown 13. The switch member 23 of the alarm unit 20 is pulled out when a disaster or crime occurs, or when an emergency situation occurs when an illness or injury occurs, even when going out or at home. At this time, the protrusion 23b of the switch member 23 can be easily pulled out by pinching it with a fingertip. When the switch member 23 is pulled out, the alarm unit 20 is activated to generate a loud emergency alarm sound. As a result, it is possible to notify a third party in the vicinity that an emergency situation such as a crime or illness has occurred, and it can be expected that the emergency situation will be converged before it becomes important. If the switch member 23 is reinserted, the emergency alarm sound stops. In other words, the emergency alarm sound continues to be generated unless the switch member 23 is reinserted.

  Next, the operation and the like of the emergency alarm wristwatch 60 of the present embodiment will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the belt portion 30 is attached to the belt attaching portion 14 of the timepiece portion 10. The belt unit 30 allows the wristwatch 60 with an emergency alarm to be easily worn and carried. Since the belt portion 30 is formed of a flexible material, the belt portion 30 can be wound around and fixed to the wrist and can easily carry the wristwatch 60 with an emergency alarm without causing any inconvenience. Further, the display panel 16 of the timepiece unit 10 is covered with a transparent timepiece cover 12. Thereby, the time displayed on the display board 16 can be known in a timely manner.

  In the present embodiment, the emergency alarm wristwatch 60 includes the alarm unit 20. For this reason, when a disaster or crime is encountered, or when an emergency situation occurs when a sudden illness or injury occurs, an emergency alarm sound can be generated to notify people in the vicinity. This can be expected to achieve early convergence of emergency situations. Further, when a general wristwatch is worn, it is easy to forget to carry a security buzzer. On the other hand, when a wristwatch 60 with an emergency alarm is worn, the timepiece unit 10 and the alarm unit 20 can be carried at the same time.

  Further, the switch member 23 of the alarm unit 20 has a protruding portion 23 b, and the length Ls of the protruding portion 23 b is longer than the length Lr of the crown 13. For this reason, the switch member 23 can be easily pulled out by pinching the protrusion 23b with a fingertip. Moreover, this protrusion part 23b has the collar part 23a in the outer edge of a protrusion end part. Since the hook portion 23a is easily caught by the fingertip when the protruding portion 23b is pinched with the fingertip, the switch member 23 can be pulled out more easily. The switch member 23 is arranged so as to be point-symmetric with the crown 13 with respect to the center of the display panel 16. For this reason, since the projecting portion 23b of the switch member 23 is located on the elbow side of the arm, even when the criminal holds the arm, for example, the projecting portion 23b is grasped by the mouth (between teeth) and pulled out. Is also possible. Further, since the switch member 23 and the crown 13 are located on the opposite sides with respect to the display panel 16, even if the crown 13 is operated in a normal state, it is possible to prevent the switch member 23 from being unintentionally pulled out.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wristwatch 60 with an emergency alarm has a shock absorber 50, and the shock absorber 50 is interposed between the timepiece unit 10 and the partition member 40. For this reason, even when an emergency situation is reached, the impact on the timepiece unit 10 due to vibration associated with the generation of a large volume of emergency alarm sound can be reduced even if the switch member 23 is pulled out to generate an emergency alarm sound. For example, when an emergency alarm sound is generated when a crime is encountered, it is expected that a criminal tries to stop the emergency alarm sound. However, since the emergency alarm sound cannot be stopped unless the pulled-out switch member 23 is inserted as it is, the criminal may take an extreme action and an impact such as hitting may be applied to the clock unit 10. . In such a case, even if the timepiece unit 10 is broken, the shock absorber 50 can serve as a cushion to protect the alarm unit 20, and the generation of an emergency alarm sound can be continued.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the shock absorbing material 50 is laminated between the timepiece unit 10 and the partition member 40 has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the partition member 40 may also serve as the shock absorber 50. This can be realized by forming the partition member 40 with a material capable of absorbing an impact. Examples of the material include resin, rubber, and elastomer as described above. By doing so, the emergency alarm wristwatch 60 can be made thinner and lighter by reducing the number of members.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the mechanical timepiece unit 10 indicating the time by the rotation of the hands is shown, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of the mechanical type, it may be a digital type that displays the time in numbers, and a mechanical type and a digital type may be used in combination. Furthermore, although the example in which the time display of the timepiece unit 10 is performed by the hour hand and the minute hand has been shown, it may be configured to have a second hand, and the date and day of the week may be displayed. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the timepiece unit 10 having the circular display board 16 is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an elliptical shape, a square shape or a rectangular shape (rectangular shape) can be used. ) Shape. Furthermore, in this embodiment, although the example which makes the timepiece part 10, the partition material 40, the impact-absorbing material 50, and the alarm part 20 the same circular shape was shown, this invention is not limited to this. For example, the alarm unit 20 may have a rectangular shape, and the circular timepiece unit 10 inscribed in its outer shape may be stacked. Of course, the size of the emergency alarm wristwatch 60, that is, the size of the display panel 16, is not particularly limited as long as it is in the same range as a general wristwatch. Further, although not particularly mentioned in the present embodiment, the clock unit 10 may generate an alarm sound that informs a desired time separately from the emergency alarm sound by the alarm unit 20.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, an example in which the ends of the two belt portions 30 are locked and attached to the wrist is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case of a belt portion configured to have elasticity, one end may be attached to the belt attaching portion 14 and formed into a ring shape. Since it has elasticity, the belt portion formed in a ring shape can be expanded and attached to the wrist.

  Furthermore, although the switch member 23 of the alarm part 20 has shown the example which has the collar part 23a in the edge part outer edge of the protrusion part 23b in this embodiment, this invention is not restrict | limited to this. It is also possible to configure the protruding portion 23b without having the flange portion 23a. Moreover, although the example in which the length Ls of the projecting portion 23b is longer than the length Lr of the crown 13 is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and the length Ls can be made shorter than the length Lr. . Even when the switch member 23 does not have the collar part 23a or when the length Ls of the projection part 23b is shorter than the length Lr of the crown 13, the projection part 23b is connected to a fingertip, for example, a thumb (thumb). It is important to make it large enough to be pinched with your forefinger (index finger). If the protruding portion 23b is too large, there is a possibility that it will be inconvenient and disturbing when worn on the arm. On the other hand, if the protrusion 23b is too small, there is a possibility that it cannot be quickly pulled out when an emergency situation occurs. When an emergency occurs, a panic situation may occur, and the fingertips may become slippery due to sweat or oil. Considering such a situation, it is possible to employ at least one of the protrusion 23b having the flange 23a and the length Ls of the protrusion 23b being longer than the length Lr of the crown 13. preferable. The switch member 23 can be easily pulled out by the protrusion 23b having the flange 23a and the length Ls being longer than the length Lr.

  Further, although not particularly mentioned in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the alarm unit 20 can generate an emergency alarm sound having a tone color and volume sufficient for an emergency notification. For example, the performance standards for security buzzers are set by the Federation of National Security Associations, so they can be set based on these standards.

  The present invention provides a wristwatch with an emergency alarm that can be worn and carried and can immediately notify nearby people in the event of an emergency, thus contributing to the manufacture and sale of wristwatches with an emergency alarm. Therefore, it has industrial applicability.
