Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a full-body swing clock in which the clock body itself swings.

(Prior Art) Conventional full-body swing clocks have a structure in which a pendulum body is integrally formed with a clock body, and a structure in which the clock body and the pendulum body swing integrally from side to side or back and forth is known. Furthermore, a configuration is known in which the clock body moves in a seesaw motion using the principle of the toy "Yajirobee".

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In conventional full-body clocks, the time display section remains facing forward and swings back and forth or left and right, making it impossible to read the time from the side. There was a problem. On the other hand, “Yajirobee”
In the case using the principle described above, the time display part swings irregularly in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction, making it difficult to see.

In addition, in conventional full-body clocks, the clock body and pendulum body mainly swing together, and there is no clock in which the pendulum body and the clock body swing separately in conjunction with each other.

The purpose of this invention is to expand the readable area of the time display by linking the watch body and pendulum body and swinging them separately, and by periodically rotating the time display in the left and right directions. It is an object of the present invention to provide a comprehensive swing clock that can perform the following functions.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a first fulcrum part that is fixed to a vertical plane and supports the watch body so as to be able to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, and a pendulum body to the left and right. a fulcrum body having a second fulcrum part that is pivotally supported so as to be swingable in only one direction;
A watch body is rotatably supported on the first fulcrum part of the fulcrum body, a part of the teeth of a gear is provided horizontally on the back surface, and a drive coil is arranged on the lower surface; A swinging rod is rotatably supported on a second fulcrum and has bevel teeth that mesh with teeth on the back of the watch body, and a permanent magnet that can overlap with the drive coil. It is characterized by being able to reciprocate in the horizontal direction in conjunction with the swinging movement of the rod.

(Example) FIG. 1 shows a side view of a full-body swing clock according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a rear view thereof.

In FIG. 1, a fulcrum body 4 is horizontally provided on the vertical plate 2, and the fulcrum body 4 includes a first fulcrum part 8 for supporting a swinging rod 6 so as to be swingable only in the left and right directions, and a clock. A second fulcrum portion 12 is provided to support the body 10 in a horizontally reciprocating manner. As shown in FIG. 1, the first fulcrum part 8 consists of a large diameter part 8a and a small diameter part 8b, and the swinging rod 6 has a small diameter part 8b.
The movement of the watch body 10 in the rearward direction is prevented by being supported by the large diameter portion 8a and engaging with the large diameter portion 8a. The second fulcrum part 12 is composed of a vertical hole 14 opened upward, and a fulcrum shaft 16 of the watch body 10 is mounted on the bottom surface formed in a conical shape, so that the watch body 10 can be reciprocated in the horizontal direction. possible. The fulcrum shaft 16 is provided facing downward on an L-shaped plate provided on the upper surface of the movement case 18.

As shown in FIG. 3, a toothed portion 20 is formed on the back surface of the movement case 18, and although not shown, the center of the toothed portion 20 is located on the vertical line of the center of the fulcrum shaft 16. . A conventionally well-known drive coil 21 is provided on the lower surface of the movement case 18, and the drive coil 21 is arranged so as to be able to face the permanent magnet 22 of the swinging rod 6. The swing rod 6 is provided with a bevel tooth 24, which meshes with the tooth section 20 of the movement case 18, and the swinging force of the swing rod 6 is transmitted to the watch body through the bevel tooth 24 and the tooth section 20. 10.

The watch body 10 consists of a movement case 18, a dial 26, and hands 28.
The hands 28 are rotated by the clock wheel train inside and the time is displayed.

The illustrated embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and the operation of the total swing clock of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 4 to 6.

FIG. 4 shows the swinging rod 6 hanging vertically, and the watch body 10 facing forward. When the swinging rod 6 moves in the direction of arrow 30 in FIG. 5 due to the electromagnetic driving force generated from the permanent magnet 22 and the drive coil 21, the tooth portion 20 rotates in the direction of arrow 32, and the watch body 10 moves toward the fulcrum shaft. 16 in the direction of arrow 32. Furthermore, when the swinging rod 6 moves in the direction of arrow 34 in FIG.

In this way, the timepiece body 10 can reciprocate in the horizontal direction following the rocking motion of the swinging rod 6, and its period is also synchronized with the period of the swinging rod 6.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, the swinging rod is provided with bevel teeth, and the back of the watch body is provided with a tooth portion that meshes with the bevel teeth, and the swinging rod is supported so as to swing only in the left-right direction. By setting the watch body to rotate horizontally around the center of the tooth, the watch body rotates horizontally back and forth in conjunction with the pendulum movement of the pendulum body, creating a new and unprecedented total swing. A watch can be provided. Since the watch body horizontally rotates back and forth from side to side, the area in which the time display can be read is wider than that of conventional full-body watches.
