Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention is an astrology function that allows you to read the angular difference between the current moon position and the direction of the sun position at your birthday, and easily use that angular difference for astrology. It is related to a clock.

[Conventional technology]

Originally, in astrology, fortunes were determined based on the positions of the sun, moon, and planets within the solar system, but the common method is to use an astronomical calendar to calculate the angles that indicate the positions of these celestial bodies. Ta. Furthermore, there was no mechanism that could easily determine the positions of various celestial bodies at a necessary point in time without relying on astronomical calendars.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] In astrology that uses an astronomical calendar, the time reference for the positions of celestial bodies listed in the daily astronomical calendar is noon, so when trying to find out the current position, the time must be corrected every time. calculation was necessary.
In particular, the moon, which moves quickly in the celestial sphere, is known to have a great influence on daily fortunes, but it has not been used much in astrology because of the above-mentioned nuisance.

This invention was developed by focusing on the above-mentioned problems in astrology, and it is easy to calculate angles using an astrology function watch that reads the position of the sun on the day of birth based on the moon age listed in the daily astronomical calendar. The object of the present invention is to provide a watch with an astrology function that has a simple mechanism, is easy to manufacture, is easy to perform fortune telling, and is inexpensive.

[Means for solving problems]

To explain in detail the part related to astrology, in the astrology that we are trying to perform with this invention, for example, the difference between the current position of the moon and the position of the sun on your birthday in the past (i.e., each celestial body as seen from the earth) It is necessary to know the angle that represents the difference in the direction of Therefore, the direction difference between the current position of the moon and the current position of the sun as seen from the earth is the current moon age, which is the average number of syllable days (approximately 29.53).
We focused on the fact that it is approximately equal to the angle obtained by multiplying the quotient by 360° (moon age is the number of days that has passed since the moment of the new moon).

The user's fortune is determined by this position, and the fortune can be roughly classified as follows.

Sitting angle: 0 degrees Nakayoshi (range ±8 degrees) Same as above 60 degrees Kokichi Same as above Same as above 90 degrees Kyoji Same as above Same as above 120 degrees Daikichi Same as above Same as above 180 degrees Kyoji Same as above The size and range of fortune determined by this sitting angle are directly displayed as fortune information. The purpose is to know the fortune of the user.

The structure of the present invention is that a watch having a time display function section for displaying the time is provided with a rotary display device that has a month display whose entire circumference is one year and can be manually set in any direction, and also indicates the age of the moon. Draw the fortune information on the moon position display board, and move the said moon position display board to about
Its unique feature is that it rotates once every 29.53 days.

[Effect]

Since the sun makes one revolution with a precise annual cycle, the past position of the sun is calculated by calculating the difference in days from this year's birthday to the present, regardless of how many years ago your birthday was. The position of the sun on your birthday will be back from the position of the sun today by an angle equal to 360° multiplied by the quotient divided by the difference in number of days. To find this position using a watch with an astrology function, attach a scale that goes around every 12 months to the moon display, manually align today's position on the moon display with the direction of the sun you read, and then If you look at the direction that corresponds to your birthday on the same month display board, that direction will be the direction of your birthday. Its direction can be easily estimated, and since the current direction of the moon can be determined from the moon's phase as mentioned in the previous section, the above-mentioned phase can also be easily read.

〔Example〕

This will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external plan view of a timepiece with an astrology function which is an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of a moon position display plate used in the timepiece shown in FIG.

1 is reusable and idles in the normal position 1a, and the moon position display board is corrected in the position 1b, which is pulled out one step,
At the second position 1c, the normal time is corrected. 2 is an hour hand, 3 is a minute hand, and 4 is a moon position display board.The inside part has internal teeth 4a divided into 30 equal parts, and there is also one moon mark 4b for astrology. As a reference, a fortune character 4c and a fortune range 4d are provided on the left and right sides. The fortune information indicated by the astrological phase is displayed using the fortune character 4c and the fortune range 4d. Reference numeral 5 denotes a dial plate, which is provided with a moon mark 4b for astrology, fortune characters 4c, and a window 5a for a fortune range 4d, and a moon phase scale 5b divided into 30 equal parts is provided on the inside thereof. Reference numeral 6 denotes a rotary ring which can be set at any angle relative to the dial 5. The rotary ring 6 divides the circumference into 12 equal parts, and displays birthday dates from January to December. The number 6a and the 12 constellation symbols 6b representing the month of birth are printed counterclockwise, and the inside is divided into 36 equal parts.
A scale 6c is provided as a rough guide for the date every 10 days. Regarding the display mechanism and display correction mechanism of the month position display plate 4, the present invention is a standard date clock in which the date plate rotates counterclockwise, and the number of teeth on the date plate 31 is replaced with 30 teeth. was only used as a lunar position display board, and the structure thereof is well known, so a description thereof will be omitted. The number of teeth is 30 because the lunar cycle is 29.53.
By choosing the number closest to the day. Of course,
By reselecting the number of teeth for the hour wheel, date drive wheel, date wheel, and date plate (month position display plate), the intermittent rotational movement of the month position display plate (since it is not used to display the date) can be changed during the day. Therefore, an average rotation period closer to 29.53 days would be obtained.

Next, the operation will be explained.

An example will be explained in which the date of purchase of a new watch is February 1, 1960.

First, check the age of the moon as of today, February 1st. For the age of the moon, refer to the weather forecast column, sports, cashier section, etc. of the local edition of a general newspaper. The moon age at noon on February 1st is 11.0. Then, as shown in Figure 1, pull out the watch 1 from the normal position 1a to the second pull position 1c to set the hands in the normal manner. Set the time while checking the movement of board 4.
(The operation of the month position display board 4 is completed at midnight.) Next, move the month mark 4b on the month position display board 4 from the second pull position 1c to the first pull position 1b. Rotate the dial 5 as shown in Figure 1.
Set the moon phase scale to point 11 on moon phase scale 5b. Next, return the watch 1 from the first pull position to the normal position. This completes each needle setting and moon phase correction.

Next, I will explain the application to astrology.

In FIG. 1, an example of a person whose today is February 1st and whose birthday is April 10th in the 10:10 a.m. column will be explained.

First, the astrological position of the sun is determined. In other words, by rotating the rotating ring 6 to the left and right in FIG. Set it to match the lunar age 0 days 5c. Next, in this set state, read the scale 6d of your birthday, April 10th, on the rotating ring 6. This is the astrological position of the sun (on your birthday) A. Next, find the astrological moon position, that is, the moon position display board 4 in Figure 1.
The position of the moon mark 4b is the astrological (current) moon position B. Next, find the astrological position. In Figure 1, the relative angle C between the astrological sun position A and the astrological moon position B, that is, 60°, is today's astrological position and displays the moon age. Fortune letter 4 on board 4
Fortune telling with Kokichi with c.

The moon age confirmed in the newspaper is the moon age at noon, and if the time of fortune-telling is 10 a.m., the difference in direction between the current moon position and the current sun position as seen from the earth is the moon position. , the difference is 0.5° every hour, that is, 1° in terms of time, and although one rotation of the moon phase display board 4 is set to 30 days, the difference from the moon phase cycle of 29.53 days is 0.2 degrees.
The deviation is ~6°, and the correction of the moon position display plate 4 can be ignored.

Next, for reference, we will explain an example of a person whose birthday is October 10th and today is February 1st. Rotating ring 6
On October 10th, at scale 6e, read your luck and fortune using the moon position display board 4.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, even if there is no clock with moon phase or solar display, the moon phase can be recorded in the daily astronomical calendar.
If today's moon phase value is known, it is possible to create a convenient watch with an astrology function that can instantly predict today's fortune at a low price.
