Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention mainly relates to a melody type alarm clock that has both fashion and interior sensations.

(Prior Art) Various alarm clocks have been proposed in the past, but no products with particularly strong impact existed.

(Technical problem) Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the conventional technique, and an object thereof is to provide an alarm clock such as a surprise box which is rich in sudden operability and impact.

(Technical Means) In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention stops the bell and opens the character when the lid of the alarm clock body is opened when the alarm bell rings at the set time. In addition, the melody or the like is configured to sound, while the lid is locked and the character is hidden so that the melody is stopped or the melody is automatically stopped in the open state. Specifically, as shown in the drawings (FIGS. 1 to 7), the following configuration is obtained.

Reference numeral 1 is an alarm clock main body in which a lid body 3 is attached to a case body 2 via a hinge 4A so that the lid body 3 can be rotated with a declination angle, and the lid body 3 is opened when an alarm bell (not shown) rings at a set time. By doing so, the alarm bell is stopped. That is, to explain step by step, the alarm is set first, and the bell rings at the set time.

Next, when the lid 3 is opened, the bell stops, the stage 6 described later rises, and the character CA jumps out.

Then, when the melody starts playing and the lid 3 is closed, the melody stops.

This melody is provided with an automatic stop device (not shown) which automatically stops the lid 3 without closing the lid after playing one song (about 50 seconds).

A bell stop switch Q is attached to the upper plate 4, and when the switch Q is turned on, the alarm is set. The bell stop switch Q is configured to be turned off when the lid 3 is opened.

Further, if the alarm is still set with the lid 3 open, the bell is stopped by turning off the ringing switch Q.

Reference numeral 4B denotes an opening formed in the upper plate 4 to expose the character CA, and a plane cross-sectional shape is substantially in a portion inside the pair of left and right case bodies 2 of the opening 4B. A pair of guides 5 each having a mold rail shape are hung from the left and right sides. 6 is a character C from the opening 4B of the upper plate 4
This is a stage for letting A escape.
Shapes formed on both ends of The guide projection 6A of the mold is loosely fitted in the narrow recess 5A of the guide 5, and the stage 6 is vertically slidably mounted along the guide 5.

7 has one end 7A connected to the lower surface of the upper plate 4 and the other end 7B connected at the lower end through a semi-cylindrical concave groove 8 formed in a pair of right and left of the stage 6 to thereby connect the upper plate 4 and the stage 6 to each other. Is a coil spring connected to the upper plate 4 and is always biased toward the upper plate 4 when the stage 6 is separated from the upper plate 4 by the coil spring 7. Reference numeral 9 denotes a stopper projectingly provided on the rear side of the stage 6. The upper end of the stopper 9 rises along the inside of the cylindrical body L hung from the upper plate 4 and contacts the lower surface of the upper plate 4 when the stage 6 is contacted. It has a function as a stopper against.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an arm which has a pin receiver 11 projecting from the lower end thereof and a projection claw 12 provided on the opposite side of the pin receiver 11 and which is arranged on a pair of both sides of the case body 2. The upper end of the arm 10 is connected to the inner wall portions of both sides of the lid 3 via hinges 10A so as to be able to rotate with an eccentric angle.
The guide projection 6A of the stage 6 is slidably engaged with the guide projection 6A. Thus, at the same time when the lid 3 is opened, the stage 6 is pulled toward the opening 4B side of the upper plate 4 via the pair of arms 10 on both sides.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a lock lever provided on a pair of left and right sides in the case body 2. A stopper pin 15 and a rotation restricting pin 16 are provided to project outward from the lock lever, and a lock step portion 17 is provided at a lower end portion.
A hinge 18 in which the upper end mounting portion 14A of the lock lever 14 is formed on the lower side wall surface of the upper plate 4 and the hinge 18
One end of the regulation spring 19 wound around the upper plate 4 is hung on the upper plate 4 side, and the other end is hung on the claw body 14B of the lock lever 14 so as to be rotatably eccentrically connected to the upper plate 4. Due to the expanding elastic force of the regulating spring 19, the lock lever 14 is constantly locked.
Is urged to rotate in the direction of arrow C.

Thus, when the cover 3 is opened and the arm 10 is raised, the pin receiver 11 abuts the stopper pin 15 of the lock lever 14, and the regulating spring 19 of the lock lever 11 is abutted.
By pushing the pin receiver 11 downward by the pressing rotational force in the direction of the arrow C due to the spring pressure of the arm 10, the arm 10 together with the lid body 3 is regulated to declinate around the stage receiver 13 by a certain angle. The body 3 is regulated to be opened by an appropriate angle.

Further, when the lid 3 is closed, the stage 6 is pushed down to the lowest limit by the stage receiver 13 of the arm 10, and at this position, the stage 6 connected to the lock step portion 17 of the lock lever 14 is connected to the arm 10. The rear end portions of both sides of 6 are locked.

At this time, the character CA attached to the stage 6 is hidden inside the opening 4B of the upper plate 4, and at the same time, the alarm bell is set to a waiting state.

Reference numeral 20 is a leaf switch for sounding a melody, which is turned on by pushing up a switch lever 20A of the leaf switch 20 by a protruding claw 12 provided on the lower side of the arm 10 and pushing down the arm 10 (cover). When the body 3 is closed), the switch lever 20
A is designed so that it can be automatically switched as appropriate so that it returns to its original position and is switched off. It should be noted that the operation of stopping the melody sound generation may be performed after the sound is sounded for a certain time by an automatic stop device separately provided without depending on the lid 3. Reference numeral 21 is a recess for mounting the timepiece movement M on the case body 2. Reference numeral 22 is a dry battery storage unit.

(Operation) The above technical means operates as follows.

Now, when the stop switch Q is set to the ON state and the lid body 3 is closed, the stage 6 is lowered to the lower limit position by 10 and is locked by the lock lever 14 to wait for the alarm bell to ring.

At that time, the character CA attached to the stage 6 is hidden inside the case body 2 through the opening 4B of the upper plate 4. Next, when the alarm bell rings at the set time and the lid 3 is opened to stop the alarm bell, the pin receiver 11 of the arm 10 pushes the stopper pin 15 of the lock lever 14 so that the lock lever 14 is locked. The portion 17 is pushed out in the direction of the arrow B to release the lock function, and the contraction force of the coil spring 7 causes the stage 8 to momentarily jump to the opening 4B side of the upper plate 4 in the same manner as the arm 10 and the lid 3. The character CA in the case body 2 is exposed to the outside from the opening 4B of the upper plate 4. At that time, the wake-up bell is stopped, and at the same time, the leaf switch 20 for sounding the melody.
The switch lever 20A is pushed up by the protruding claw 12 of the arm 10 to be in a switch-on state to play a melody.

Also, if the alarm bell is set, the stop switch Q is turned on, and the arm 10 is pushed down, that is, the lid 3
When the switch is closed, the switch lever 20A of the leaf switch 20 returns to the original position and is turned off, the melody performance is stopped, and the wake-up bell waits for ringing again.

Incidentally, if the stop switch Q is independently turned off regardless of the opening / closing operation of the lid body 3, the alarm bell does not ring and only the melody playing operation is performed.

(Effect) Therefore, the present invention has the following unique effects.

In particular, when the lid is opened to stop the alarm bell, the character suddenly jumps out from the inside and the melody sounds at the same time. Therefore, it has the effect of becoming a product with higher impact and higher novelty.
