Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a timer device for announcements.

[Conventional technology]

Each lecture or presentation has a set time limit for each speaker or presenter (hereinafter referred to as the presenter), and when the presenter takes the podium, he or she takes off his or her watch and places it on the podium, checking it from time to time. Generally announced. In addition, a microphone with a timer that displays the remaining time (Utility Model No. 55-24824) was also developed.
This device incorporates a digital time display panel that digitally displays the remaining time on the support pedestal, and also has an end warning light that lights up at a specified time, making it convenient as the end warning can be controlled from a separate location.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The presentation timer is preferably installed on the podium, is easy to set and operate, and is easy to use if the remaining time display is easy to see. Furthermore, since it is a dedicated product, it is desired that it be inexpensive, and it is better to use it as a stand-alone product as a timer.

[Means for solving problems]

It uses a subtraction chrono timer, has a bar graph display section divided into a plurality of parts and a timer time display section, each of the bar graph sections having a switch function,
You can set the timer time.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a front view of a presentation timer device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the embodiment. 1 is a time display section of the timer, which displays the timer set time, elapsed time, remaining time, etc. 2 is a buzzer or speaker for alarm. 3 is a switch for setting the set time,
4, 5, and 6 are switches for setting the alarm time within the timer time, 7 is a switch to select whether to display the timer elapsed time as an integrated or subtractive display, 8 is an alarm sound on/off switch, and 9 is a timer switch. 10 is a stop and reset switch, and 10 is a start switch. Numerals 11 to 20 are bar graph displays, each of which is an independent switch, and has 8-shaped segments that can display numbers 0 to 9 and can turn the entire display on and off. 21 is an integrated circuit. Reference numeral 22 denotes a speaker drive section, which is turned on and off by the switch 8.

Below, the presentation time is 15 minutes, the first alarm will be issued after 10 minutes, the second alarm will be issued after 13 minutes,
Explain that the progress display will be a remaining display so that the third alarm will sound after 15 minutes have passed. Press switch 3, then press switches 11 and 15,
Next, press switch 4 and press switches 11 and 20. Next, press switch 5 and press switches 11 and 13. Next, press switch 8 and then switch 7 to complete the setting. When starting the presentation, press start switch 10 and all switches 11 to 20 will light up. At this time, the numbers displayed on each switch section go out. set time 10
Switch 20~ every 1/10 hour after dividing.
The lights go out in the order of 11. The timer display section displays the remaining time. That is, the subtraction is displayed from 15 minutes to 0 minutes. After 10 minutes, after 13 minutes,
After 15 minutes have elapsed, an alarm will sound to notify you that the set time has elapsed.

The main body of the presentation timer device is triangular prism-shaped, and the bottom surface is anti-slip to ensure stability when placed on the podium.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, the elapsed time is displayed as a bar graph, so the presenter can visually recognize the elapsed time or remaining time, and more specifically, the time display section of the timer. , making it easier to adjust presentation times. In addition, by dividing the bar graph into 10 parts and making each part a switch from 0 to 9, the display part becomes a switch, so a dedicated switch can be omitted, and the display part can be enlarged accordingly, improving operability and visibility. Improved.

Since it is a dedicated timer, it only needs to be installed on the podium, and is cheaper than a microphone or one built into the podium.
