Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Industrial application] Various information is arranged and displayed on the front and back of the outer side of the timepiece dial with a smaller pointer, and this information can be flipped over or exchanged with other various information display boards by inserting and removing. The present invention relates to a display of a multipurpose information display clock used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is no technical example relating to an ultra-compact precision instrument in which a display in which information is arranged on an extension line on the outside of a clock dial can be simply turned upside down or can be exchanged by a fitting / removing type. It is a thing.

[0003]

In the past, the main purpose of the timepiece dial was to confirm the time of day, and basically the same recognition will be made.
However, today's watches are easily carried by anyone, and can be seen by people everywhere. Isn't it a rather narrow idea to use the dial only for checking the time? As long as the clock face is displayed at the array angle, displaying other information does not impair the display function as a clock or lose its sanctuary, especially the simplicity of the clock face. Radial display that makes use of the clear array angle of numbers is suitable for array display of fine characters, etc., and in recent years, it is only comfortable that it is physically or visually or from the viewpoint of cerebral physiology. Has been recognized. Therefore, in order to make the best use of this characteristic, the watch pointer part surface is as small as possible, so that a large display space for various information is secured, and the front and back surfaces can be easily flipped over, or the display plate is a detachable type. It is important to make it easy to exchange and use. Also, as mentioned above, visibility is not impaired even in a small space such as a clock face,
If it is used in the display field of personal computers, etc., the characteristic that various information can be displayed in fine characters eliminates the visual problems such as eye strain and stress caused by long-term use of personal computers that have been pointed out. It will also be done.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A timepiece pointer portion 2 of a small disc in the center of a timepiece dial receiving frame 1 whose edge is formed by a concave step.
Also, the weather mark liquid crystal display plate 16 having a built-in 24-hour weather information receiving device is provided in a twin-shaped convex shape, and a concave stepped hole into which the timepiece pointer portion 2 and the weather mark liquid crystal display plate 16 can be fitted in the same plane is provided. Donut clock face with 8
On the other hand, a ring-shaped dial shaft attachment / holding member 6 which is fitted to the outer ring in a contacting manner and is attached by a spring shaft which can be inserted / removed is hinged to the timepiece dial receiving frame 1 at one end and is reversible. Consists of a clock face.

[0005]

With the above-mentioned structure, the user can easily stand and invert the ring-shaped dial holding member having the donut-shaped dial pivotally attached so as to browse or collate the information on the front and back sides as necessary. It is possible to use it by selectively exchanging it with other dials, and also to get the latest weather information anytime, anywhere.

[0006]

The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the timepiece hands 2 are in convex contact with the center of the bottom surface of the dial receiving frame 1. 1 is a watch dial receiving frame 2 is a watch pointer portion 3 is a ring-shaped dial shaft holding member fitting concave portion 4 is a hinge fixing portion 5 is a watch belt adhesive portion FIG. 2 is a ring on the periphery of a donut-shaped dial 8 FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which the ring-shaped dial holding members 6 are fitted in the outer ring contact shape, and both are attached by spring shafts. 6 is a ring-shaped dial shaft holding member 7 is a ring-shaped dial shaft holding member fitting convex portion 8 is a donut-shaped dial 9 is a shaft mounting portion 10 Hinges FIG. 3 shows the hinge 10 of FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the hinge fixing portion 4 of FIG.

As described above, when the ring-shaped dial shaft holding member 6 is erected as required, the donut-shaped dial 8 is raised.
The front and back can be easily flipped, and the front and back can be easily used alternately by opening and closing.

FIG. 4 is a portable clock in which the timetable of the nearest station that can be used by commuting and commuting is displayed in an extended time line on the outside of the timeline at the arrangement angle of the clock dial so that each time is easily visible. It is the perspective view which showed. 11 is the afternoon timetable. 12 is the same as the morning timetable displayed on the back side of the operation time column. When commuting to school in the morning, the ring-shaped dial shaft holding member 6 can be easily opened to stand upside down. You can use it as a morning timetable by closing it.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a timepiece in which learning item information is displayed on an extension line of a timepiece dial number. For example, an example of an English conversation sentence is arranged and the translated sentence or the like is arranged and displayed on the back side. 13 is a numeral on the clock. 14 English conversation sentence examples are shown by dotted lines omitting other English conversation sentence examples. If it is carried in this way, the memory can be surely learned at any time and anywhere by easily reversing and collating the learning items. Further, it can be used by simply exchanging it with a display plate on which other learning items are arranged.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which a liquid crystal display panel having a built-in weather information receiving device for 24 hours is fixed in the dial receiving frame 1 of FIG. 16 is the weather fixed to the bottom of the watch dial receiving frame, the cloudy mark The liquid crystal display plate 17 is the clear mark In this way, the weather information that changes every 30 minutes or every 1 hour throughout the 24 hours is displayed in the watch dial. If it is displayed, it is easy to take an early response while traveling by plane, train, car, or on the go. In addition, numerical values such as precipitation probability and temperature can be displayed on the weather information receiving device by operating buttons. In FIG. 7, the donut-shaped timepiece dial 8 is provided with a liquid crystal display plate fitting window so that it can be closed and fitted into the timepiece dial receiving frame 1 in which the liquid crystal display plate with the built-in weather information receiver is installed. The perspective view which showed the appearance. 18 is a weather mark perforated in the dial LCD window mating window

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a state in which a timepiece dial number is used as a calendar (1990 patent application No. 220126) constructed by analogy with the date number of a monthly calendar for a portable timepiece. 19 A figure that represents the morning and afternoon of the clock face as a figurative number of the dates on the monthly calendar. When displayed as a monthly calendar on the front and back of the donut-shaped clock dial 8, the six calendars will be displayed each year while being reversed or replaced. Every year, for example, a set of 6 donut-shaped calendars is purchased at a watch store, a bookstore, a stationery store,
Get them sold at station shops.
