Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a wrist watch with a score counter, which has a function of counting the score or the like of each hole, which is carried when playing golf or other sports such as sports, games and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In golf, each player counts his or her own number of hits for each hole and reports the number of hits to the other players when he or she goes out of the ball. As a result, memory becomes ambiguous and it becomes difficult to count the number of strokes accurately. For that reason, conventionally, a score counter of a type in which a number is incremented each time the push button is pressed is put on an arm has been proposed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above-mentioned conventional score counter is messy and unpleasant to look at, and it is troublesome to wear it separately from the wristwatch. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a wristwatch with a score counter for golf in which the function of the score counter is incorporated into a wristwatch, thereby eliminating the drawbacks of the conventional techniques.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a score counter mechanism is incorporated in a wrist watch, and a counter display section in which appropriate numbers are sequentially displayed is provided on the upper surface of a center having a stepped portion on the wrist watch directly or through another member. A means for rotatably disposing a rotating ring having a counter display window through which the numbers can be seen on the stepped portion, and appropriately providing locking means on a vertically opposing surface of the center and the rotating ring. Alternatively, a counter display window is provided on the bezel that fits into the center of the stepped portion from above, and a rotating ring is fitted between the center and the bezel so that it can be rotated on the stepped portion. The above-mentioned problem was solved by a means in which an appropriate number is written on the upper surface of the rotating ring directly or through another member, and the number can be seen through the counter-display window.

The present invention also rotatably installs a rotating ring expressing a mark such as a number or an arrow on a center, a bezel or the like, and by rotating the rotating ring, the number or mark is replaced by a glass. Means to match the mark or number expressed on the edge, glass or dial, or the count where the push button is exposed from the center or bezel and the number is incremented by pressing the push button. The above problem has been solved by adding a means for incorporating a targeting mechanism in the center and allowing the incremented numbers to be seen through through a glass, a bezel or the like to the wristwatch.

[0006]

[Work]

 When playing golf, etc., by rotating the rotary ring after each hit, the number indicating the number of hits appears in the counter display window, or the number is indicated by a mark. For push-button type, press this to display the number according to the number of strokes.

[0007]

【Example】

 A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 2 will be described. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a center, to which a cover glass 2 is attached by a conventional method, and a letter plate 4 provided with a needle 3. Is installed. In addition, a movement 6 is incorporated in the center-1 via a movement holder-5. Then, the back cover 7 is fitted into the center-1 from the back side. A packing 8 is interposed between the center-1 and the back cover 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a ring-plate-shaped counter display plate, and in the illustrated example, numbers 0 to 19 are radially expressed around the clock. Of course, the numbers expressed are arbitrary and may be 19 or more or 19 or less. The counter-display board 9 is embedded in the upper surface of the center-1. The numbers may be directly written on the upper surface of the center-1 without using the counter-display board 9. A rotating ring 10 is rotatably fitted on a step portion 11 formed on the upper surface of the center-1. The rotating ring 10 is provided with a counter-display window 12 whose lower part can be seen through. A transparent cover 13 such as glass is usually fitted into the counter display window 12.

On the rising wall of the stepped portion 11 and on the inner side surface of the rotating ring 10 facing the rising wall, ridges 14 and 15 are provided, respectively. When the rotary ring 10 is placed on the step 11, the ridge 14 rides on the ridge 15 due to the difference in diameter between the two. Then, when the rotating ring 10 is forcibly pressed down, the diameter of the protrusion 14 slightly expands and the diameter of the protrusion 15 slightly narrows, so that the protrusion 14 gets over the protrusion 15. As a result, the protrusion 14 is locked to the protrusion 15, and the rotary ring 10 cannot be easily disengaged. One of the ridges 14 and 15 may be a circumferential groove into which they are fitted (see Examples below). The bottom surface of the rotating ring 10 and the stepped portion 11 may be formed with projections and recesses that fit with each other, so that the rotation of the rotating ring 10 is stopped at a fixed position.

The wrist watch having the above-described structure can be used as a score counter by carrying it in a golf play or the like, in addition to being used as a normal watch. That is, since the rotary ring 10 is rotatable with respect to the center-1, if the rotary ring 10 is rotated in the clockwise direction as shown in the figure after each hit, the number of hits will be displayed in the counter display window 12. The number of strokes can be accurately counted, and the number of strokes will not be wrongly reported.

Next, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1B and 3 will be described. The parts denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the above-described embodiment have the same configuration as that in the above-mentioned embodiment, and therefore detailed description thereof is omitted. The cover glass 2 and the dial plate 10 in this embodiment are fixed to the center-1a via a bezel 16. The bezel 16 is provided with a counter-display window 17.

A rotating ring 18 is rotatably mounted on the center-1a. A circumferential groove 19 is provided on a rising wall of the stepped portion 11a of the center-1a, and a protrusion 20 that fits into the circumferential groove 19 is formed on a surface of the rotating ring 18 opposed to the rising groove. Of course, the ridge may be formed on the center-1a side and the peripheral groove may be formed on the bezel 18 side, or both ridges may be formed as in the above-described embodiment. A counter display plate 9a is embedded in the upper surface of the rotary ring 18. In the case of the counter display plate 9a, the numbers 0 to 19 are represented counterclockwise. 21 is a packing interposed between the center-1a and the bezel 16.

In the case of this embodiment, contrary to the case of the above embodiment, the counter-display window 17 is fixed and the counter-display plate 9 rotates. That is, the number indicating the number of strokes is displayed in the counter-display window 17 by rotating the rotary ring 18 clockwise with each hit.

As still another configuration example, a rotary ring that represents numbers like the counter display plate 9 is rotatably installed on a center or a bezel, and the rotary ring is rotated with each striking. It is conceivable that the number corresponding to the number of strokes may be pointed out by matching the number with a mark such as an arrowhead expressed on a center or a bezel. In that case, conversely, a mark may be expressed on the rotary ring and a number may be written on the center or bezel.

As another configuration example, it is conceivable to incorporate the conventionally used push button type score counter mechanism into the wristwatch as it is. In that case, the push button is exposed from an appropriate place such as the center or the bezel, and the numeral display part thereof is installed on the dial 4 so that it can be seen through the glass 2, or it is installed on the bezel or the like and viewed. to enable.

[0016]

As described above, the present invention has the same appearance as an ordinary timepiece, and can be used as a timepiece, as well as golf, other sports, games, and other items that require counting. Since the score can be recorded accurately during work, there is no mistake in counting the score, and there is an effect that the player can concentrate on the golf etc.
